636-600-4600 International-Harvester trucks are rare enough here at
MotoeXotica Classic Cars but we truly found a seldom-seen example
with this 1951 International-Harvester L-162 4x4 Stake Bed Truck
that has a Chevy big block 454 dropped right in! This big 2-Ton 4x4
truck just looks so aggressive and mean! Finished in Adirondack
Green with an amazing amount of patina that wears so well on this
50's International, the truck's paint and trim are in overall
satisfactory condition. The one-piece windshield and other panes of
glass are in decent order, however this truck has no windshield
wipers. Its lights are intact and mostly clear. The truck's
bodywork is solid and straight and the truck has a functional
hydraulic dump bed out back with a new plywood floor. The black
front bumper with extra-tall override bar lends a slightly menacing
look to the front end. For easy entry/exit, there are corrugated
metal steps someone fashioned and installed below the side doors.
Other than the corrugated steps, this truck features all original
metal, including floor pans and rockers. It rolls on Interco light
truck tires, size 37x13.50R18 at all four corners Each tach is
wrapped around an aftermarket black-and-silver wheel with a center
cap. In the engine bay is a GM 454 CID V-8 engine with dual
exhausts replaces the original inline six-cylinder from the
factory. Backing up that big-block motor is a Turbo Hydramatic 400
three-speed automatic transmission and a transfer case with locking
hubs. Driver convenience features include power steering and power
disc brakes. Inside, the black bench seat looks great while the
headliner, steering wheel and shift lever are all in satisfactory
order. The instrument panel has aftermarket oil pressure, voltage
and coolant temp gauges underneath it but the speedometer and the
odometer are inoperable. The dash and inner door panels are in
satisfactory order. The two-spoke steering wheel, shift lever and
steering column are lifted from a late 1970s Chevrolet pickup. The
L-series were totally restyled and re-engineered, with styling
characteristics that included a one-piece windshield, two-section
rear cab window, broad flat fenders and a wide and flat front-end
cap. Single headlamps were flush-mounted into keyhole-shaped
recesses with rectangular parking lamps below. The new grille
consisted of horizontal bars with 19 vertical slots above. The
three outermost vertical blades on each side were shorter. A bright
metal strip ran across the lower edge of the nose. The bow had an
IHC badge and a chrome molding ran up the center of the hood. A
painted, wraparound bumper protected the front. Competition to this
truck in 1951 included Chevrolet's KS one-ton truck, Dodge's
B-series trucks Ford's F6 two-ton haulers and GMC's one-ton hauler.
This truck has been changed into a capable, modern International
and should turn heads and generate questions wherever it goes. Come

St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 30,368
miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage
