International deuce

[Collectorofeverything]

So I found a 1945 ihc m-5h-6 deuce on Craigslist and I would like to know what exactly was the history of these trucks

Google " 1945 ihc m-5h-6 " there is a little information on the on Olive-Drab but not much.

Navy/USMC only, heavy duty, 8.25-20 tires ($$$$), all IHC drivetrain, Hendrickson rear suspension, open and closed cabs. Played a big part in the Pacific landings, you see them in all the war photos.

Yep. The Hendrickson rear suspension is a better design than the cckws and m35 have.

Is this the International truck you are discussing... I'm new to this forum. Researching if the truck I have is useful to restore or simply sell on. I don't know a lot about it either, but had an offer for it: 1940 International 3 Ton I. H. Co. M-5H-6-361. Is this a deuce? Thank you.

Yes, the International could be considered a "deuce", but I don't think they were called that back in the day. Yours is prewar and should be closed cab.
