Australian or American IH cab ?.

I have an International truck and am trying to find out if it has an Australian or American built cab. Some people have suggested because it has a large bracket on the dashboard and it does not go around the steering column it is an American cab. This truck has a one piece windscreen. (America had a one piece windscreen in the L Series from 1949 long before the AR models in Australia had one piece windscreens. I had always thought it was an Australian cab and would have been around a 1954/1955 model. If it is an American cab it may be earlier.) It has an R180 Series badge on the side but the plate on the firewall says it is an AR182. Has anyone seen an AR180 Series badge on the side of an R model ?.

I have an AR162 with a two piece windscreen and it does have a smaller bracket around the steering column. I believe it would be about a 1952/1953 model.

The badge on the side showing R 180 series.

The early Series AR162 with a smaller bracket that goes around the steering column.

looks like a Australian cab to me
flat welded in dash and internal door hinges
182 means 2 speed diff
think you have the date about right

Chrysler Australia made cab and they shared many pressings with Aussie Dodges of the era. 54 was when the one piece glass started.

That cab looks American to me and the emblem is also American.
