It's taking a long time but I'm finally starting to like the body style.

Here in New Zealand they were called the AL and AR series, the A to show they were built across the ditch in Ausbloodytralia, and were therefore right-hand drive. I spent many hours, years ago , in an AR162, the seven ton tipper version. The "2" in the 162 showed it had the Eaton 2 speed diff.
They're nice looking trucks.

Here's a link to one on a N.Z. Hot Rod site, (if you have a look around that site I'm 'johnboy' there too,) the blue light on the cab roof was a regulatory 'thing' in the late fifties early sixties...you had to show a blue light forward if you were towing a trailer at night.
Thankfully now rescinded, but Graham has retained it as it is from the trucks era.
What's with your truck being so far off the ground? Do you have big pot-holes in your neck of the woods?

I had one of those 57 IH's in the driveway of my house for a number of years in the late 70's early 80's. I didn't have the title and couldn't afford to restore it either. Like a dummy I sold it to a junkyard for $50. The 57's have a nice looking body style. I would think this day and age they are very rare.

Before I married my wife she had bought a 46 or 47 International pick up, she asked if I wanted it I said no, she sold it for $40. If I had bought it she probably wouldn’t complain about my junk today, I could lay the blame on her for getting me started. At the time I was more into Chevy’s and Fords. Now any old car or truck is fine.
