Now for sale in our Houston showroom is this very cool 1947
International pickup truck. This truck has a unique restomod vibe
to it that really sets itself apart from the crowd! Under the hood
of this beauty is a Chevrolet small block 350 CID V8 that was
rebuilt roughly 10,000 miles ago by TLC Restorations. The rebuild
allows that big V8 to run smoothly and provide plenty of power for
a spirited drive or to comfortably cruise at highway speeds.
Sending the power to the rear end is a 700R4 four-speed
transmission that was also rebuilt at the same time as the engine
by TLC Restorations. When it comes time to slow this big truck
down, the driver will definitely appreciate the disc brake
conversion all around. Disc brakes allow for smoother and more
powerfull stopping capabilities. Disc brakes are also much simpler
and cheaper to service. Moving outward, the exterior of this beauty
is finished in an eye-catching yellow paint that has a nice depth
and shine to it. The bed wood is in good condition overall with
minor scratches and scuffs that show that this truck is capible of
being used as it was originally intended back in the 40's.
Supporting each corner of this beauty are alloy wheels wrapped in
radial tires with decent tread life left in them. Overall, this
truck is a pretty good driver quality that is capible of being both
a weekend show truck and a practical utility vehicle. Upon entering
the cab, the driver will notice the comfortable black vinyl seats
that provide decent leg and back room. Below the seats is a dark
red carpet that accents the yellow paint well. The door panels are
also finished with a material in that same color. The paint matched
dash features an AM/FM radio along with a CD player for listening
to your favorite driving music. Along with the original speedo, the
dash also featurs an aftermarket tach to keep an eye on the engine
revolutions during spirited driving. Overall, this truck runs well
and will make an excellent weekend toy for the new owner! For more
