Thanks Allan for the tip!

 

I am just about ready to finish the rebuild of my truck and the more I get into the history of International Harvester Corporation trucks I find myself wanting to collect some of the advertising that promoted these great trucks.

 

I bought an advertisement copy from Ken Young of Vintage International Parts and I was wondering if you had any more sources for advertisements and/or sales brochures for the 1953 R-110 trucks. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

1953 R-110, restored to its original Air Force colors

 

P.S

 

And while I'm thinking of it...this truck that I own had once been a part of the United States Air Force motorpool inventory. Being an active duty member of the Air Force, I restored the truck back to its original Air Force "Stratoblue" color and restored the door registration numbers.  I am perplexed about the hood ornament that adorns the hood.  Looking at some pictures of R-110s, the hood ornament looks like a wing of sorts...my hood ornament however looks like a stylized ram's head.  I am just wondering if the boys in blue might have taken the hood of an L model and placed on the R.  Any thoughts??
