American Binder has arrived at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. We are
pleased to present this 1968 Travelette 1200 4x4 Crew Cab Pickup.
Originally sold to the state of Arizona as a rail utility vehicle,
this 140" wheelbase truck, made in International's Chicago,
Illinois factory, was originally a 4x4 model with a 304 CID V-8 but
now has been upgraded to a genuine International 392ci V8 engine
with a 4-barrel carb mated to a three speed automatic transmission.
The 1968 models were the next-to-last model year for the 1200
B/C/D-series trucks and in our opinion is the best looking body
style for the Travelette pickup!International was ahead of their
time with the introduction of the crew cab pickup truck in the mid
1950's with their 3 door pickup. In 1961 International came out
with the first ever 4 door "Crew Cab" pickup available to the
market and was decades ahead of the big three on producing a full
production in house crew cab pickup. Unfortunately in the 1960's
crew cab trucks were hard to sell to the public and most were sold
to the railroad companies (such as this one) and government
contracts. Fast forward to todays market and four door pickup
trucks are now the most popular! So todays buyer looking for a
"crew cab" classic truck has very few options! Resulting in the
demand and the short supply of these clean example trucks has
created large value increases and very hot demand! The tan paint
and trim are in overall good condition. The truck's bodywork is
straight and the cargo bay with its full-size spare tire, size
235/85R16. This truck has 8 lug wheels and hubs with 235/85R16
light truck tires mounted on vented alloy wheels with factory front
locking hubs. Under the hood, the original SV 304 CID V8 has been
upgraded to the larger International SV 392 CID V-8 with 4 barrel
carb and backed up by a three-speed automatic transmission. Truck
has power steering and power brakes. Is equipped with factory air
conditioning but is not fully complete. Contains the hard to find
parts such as under dash unit, interior controls, and compressor
which all items are still mounted. Inside, the truck's tan and
brown interior is in overall good order and the two colors contrast
very well together. The brown front and rear bench seats look
great, as does the black carpeting. The white headliner is in good
order, as is the three-spoke brown steering wheel. The two-toned
instrument panel with full array of gauges looks splendid and the
inner door liners are in very good order. There is an aftermarket
Electro cassette player mounted under the dash and the horn and
fuel gauge are inoperable. The pickups continued to undergo a
continuous stream of minor modifications to the grilles and
headlight fitment. For model year 1964, the renamed range (C-900 to
C-1500) received single headlights. For 1965 the name became the D
series, followed by the 900A-1500A in 1966, 900B-1500B for the next
year, and the last year (1968) which was unsurprisingly called
900C-1500C, depending on weight rating. New for 1968 was the option
of AMC's 232 cubic inch inline-six engine, rather than
International's own BG-series six. Other changes for 1968 included
new bright aluminum headlight bezels to match the grill; the "IH"
badge disappeared from the hood; square marker lights added to the
front fender with model designation moved to just behind them
versus behind the wheel opening; multiple trim levels offered; and
new chrome and aluminum trim available for the truck's length. If
you're a truck fan, a Binder nut or someone who seeks a different
form of classic transportation, with the ability to haul your
family and tow, you should drop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars to
looks this vintage factory "Crew Cab" truck over before someone
else puts in in their garage. Competition to this Travelette in
1967 included Chevrolet's C-series pickup, Dodge's D-series pickup,
Ford's F-series and GMC's C-series trucks. VIN: 783204H755364
