51' International SRT-10

[barn]

Thought I would take time to post a few pics of my latest project.
I have a 1951 International Harvester L-112 Pick-up that I am going to hot rod with my 2005 SRT-10.
So far I have started trial fitting the cab and have moved the cab mounts to suit the International. I have had to cut the firewall out in order to get the engine back as far as possible, hopefully leaving room for rads up front. Now I am having to fabricate the front fenders so the wheels sit more central.
Loads of cutting.

That's awesome, my old man has a 53 international that we've been wanting to do something with.

I'm hoping everything is going to work out.
I think I need to reduce the width of the front end as I want the fenders to cover the front wheels, does anyone have any ideas maybe narrow control arms ?

Why dont you go with steel wheels with less offset ?
Clearance on the break should still be given, if the difference is not too big

Very cool project. I would just make some really cool fender flares (race car style)

That's why I decided to use my 67 frame instead of the SRT frame. I would section the fenders a couple inches, (cut them down the middle lengthwise, then add in a 2-3" filler piece.)

Good work!

Just got my 53' dodge srt 10 running daily. Nothing like modern technology and vintage Patina

Looks great.
What did you do with the cooling system, did you use srt rad and hydraulic fan set up ?
