The top of the headlight should be about the top of the grille/hood line. I think this is a modified International M-5H-6. The fender line in the lower 1/3 of the grille, more curved fender, open cab with 1/2 doors and the spare tire stowed between the cab & bed on lwb models. Larger tire size than the GMC adds to the taller look and the more blunt nose of the hood which opened butterfly style. Comments?
