Where the roof panel and cab sides are joined is probably the worst......if IH had simply turned the seam downwards ,instead of upwards,the whole thing wouldnt form a gutter to collect water..........the C series ACCOs had a poor bonnet too.....the previous model had a nice fiberglass bonnet that opened up to slide the battery out ,or work on the brake or clutch master cylinders ......the tin lid was the worst possible,IMHO,but probably saved a few dollars in production cost.

180 is on the money, back lower cab corners where the floor joins, drivers floor was like lace in mine, front edge of the bonnet. I have some short stress cracks in the roof, probably from having tarps or people dumped on it. My doors were /are okay. and parts.... they seem to be readily available.

A very easy truck to work on. you can pull the front off and slide the donk out for major surgery. Cab is nice and basic. very basic for a mug like me to keep in working clothes easily.
