Easily one of my favorite posts this year. REDMULE kicks ass! As much fun as it looks like it would be to restore, it's just as much fun looking at it 'as-is'. Real trucks rule!
You are correct that this is a 1957 international. The hydraulics, unfortunately, have not been used for about 15 years and have to be completely reworked. This truck has been in the family since it's original purchase by Tom in 1957 and he performed the bulk of the customization then. The truck was previously used for hauling logs up for chopping and is now used for neighborhood cleanup

Gotta be a '57. '56s' came with the wood guillotine tailgate painted black.
Neat survivor.
Can you say, "king of patina"?
Love the profile shot and the International S-120 badge shot.
So That's where Disney-pixar got their inspiration for Mater the Tow Truck from Cars
i really want to believe that winch is functional. and check out that little braces supporting the bumper and rear fender!
"red power" is the name of the IH magazine, so the license plates suggest this is enthusiast-owned.
what do the flaps say?
Absolutely wonderful. Loving that patina!
Flaps say "Big Sky Country Montana". Super cool truck.
