As per Duff again.
Rear Sight... Type II
Hammer...C46008-5 SA

Duff's book is over 10 years old some things stated back then have been found to be in correct. There has been a lot of new documentation that has been done in the last few years.
Wayne Bradford (ihcfan55) is coming out with a book on International Harvester's this fall I believe. This should have a lot of new information in it.

Got to go to work tomorrow so this is all I can do tonight.
