Small-Block Chevrolet-Powered 1952 International Harvester L-162 LPG Conversion

Power is provided by a small-block Chevrolet V8 that has been modified to run on liquid propane gas and is linked to a three-speed automatic transmission and a 14-bolt rear end. The body was modified with a tilting front-end conversion, and the cab and front body panels were painted yellow with black running boards and diamond-plate steps. The fabricated bed features a black-finished square-tube frame, diamond-plate side panels, and a wood bed floor with a liquid propane tank mounted at the front. Inside, later bucket seats are trimmed in gray cloth and accompanied by a GMT400 steering wheel and column.

The cab and front body panels have been painted yellow, and the hood, front fenders, and grille have been converted to a forward-tilting front-end configuration with a molded bumper. The custom bed features a black tube frame, diamond-plate side panels, and a wood-plank bed floor. Black running boards are topped with diamond-plate steps, and a liquid propane tank is mounted at the front of the bed.

It features independent front suspension, power steering, and power-assisted front disc brakes with rear drums.

The polished 16″ American Racing wheels are wrapped in 235/85 GT Radial Adventuro AT3 tires.

The cabin houses bucket seats trimmed in gray cloth along with coordinated door-panel inserts. A later-style shifter console is installed along with gray carpeting, and the driver’s seat is power adjustable.
