Thats' not a '55 doghouse on that truck, it's a '56. The cabs are the same but the front sheetmetal is totally different. Here is some reference -

1955 -


1956 -

This is the first international i've owned and the guy i got it off of said he got it with out a front clip and that he picked that one up at a swap meet. Thats awsome that i now know what it is!!! I truely have a "unique" 55 lol. Thanks,Dave.
