Vehicle Description
This classic 1940 International Harvester pickup is a fantasy about
honesty. A truck with a genuine '40s feel like this one begs for a
lazy Sunday drive, and it reminds you of the serenity that a
country road can provide.
A classic International truck from pre-WWII years is already a rare
sight. It has a cool Art Deco design, flowing fenders, and a
rounded split-window cab. So you know it's a pickup of distinction
the moment you show up to everywhere from the car show to the
hardware store. We love the details on this one, like how the trim
wraps around the entire front end and how the bright International
hubcaps draw even more attention to the whitewalls (even on the
side-mounted spare.) In total, this is a two-tone reminder of an
honest day's work. Its labor credentials feel so legitimate that
you almost want to draw a father and son business graphic on the
side.
Inside is a cab built for long-lasting function. The three-spoke
wheel was purely functional decades ago, but today it is
beautifully artistic. It has that worn-in grippy feeling that
instantly connects you with previous generations. The floor-mounted
gearstick has a purposeful steel feel. The windshield pops out to
give you the perfect old-school truck breezes. Even when they
updated the bench seat to cloth, it still has a tweed that looks
and feels period-correct.
The flathead 213ci six-cylinder motor has the true look of an
honest pickup in the engine bay. It has the right look of
maintenance, and it gives off an industrial symphony of simplicity.
It's a rhythmic chug that feels like being in charge of a mini
locomotive as the tempo increases as you shift through the
four-speed manual transmission. The ride is another exercise in
minimalism. Leaf springs and bias ply tires are far from modern,
which makes them perfect in this time capsule of a pickup. The full
experience of being behind the wheel feels like rolling
history.
This is a solid running piece of pre-war history. So you're looking
for the ideal Sunday driver, don't miss this distinct pickup. Call
today!!!
