General 5 ton questions

[Heyitsmike]

Hey there!
Going to look at a 5ton this weekend, but I have some questions. It's listed as a 1955 international m54, and has the continental multifuel. For some reason I thought that they didn't have the multifuel until later years and the earlier ones were all gassers??? Not saying the guy is wrong, just looking to verify

I have a 1953 IH that originally had a gasser in it. The military along the way upgraded it to a multifuel. Any other questions?

Lots of stuff gets a second life with a new power plant.I have seen a M37 with a 4bt Cummings purring along. I have heard of a Dodge Power wagon lengthened for a Dodge straight 8 industrial engine. Some times stock does not stay stock.
