I just sold my 3 complete WWII Internationals to a good home. That truck was a parts truck at best. The Internationals are hard to find parts for, you will grow old looking for brake parts. Also, when the Internationals were surplused out, they were working trucks, twice the truck as the GMC CCKW was. It was grabbed up by loggers and construction companies for the housing boom that followed WWII. I have found several Internationals like this one that are incomplete, just about every one is very tired.
One more note on the International 6x6, Marine units that still had them in the Korean war would drive them till they died, because when they turned them in for major repairs, they would not get a International 6x6 back, they would recieve a CCKW. As the military was trying to get all the services at this time on one sheet of music for supplies.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET
