Power Roundup? in Salinas, MO in 2014 In 1937, International
released the streamlined D series trucks. The D series was more
than a facelift: These trucks boasted wider all-steel cabs with
more glass area for better visibility, beefed up beds with
integrated stake pockets on the pickups, and more. Under the
stylish hoods of these trucks was an engine with its roots in the
Willys design, but this 213-cu.in. six now boasted full-length
water jackets, a revised intake and revised combustion chambers,
for an output of about 78 hp. By International standards, the D-2
was a hot seller, as more than 80,000 examples rolled out of the
company's Springfield, Ohio, plant. (Big trucks were built in Fort
Wayne, Indiana.) This last year production 1940 International D2
was acquired by the current owner in Nebraska in 2013 as a running,
driving truck in good condition, if a bit dusty. Upon purchase the
owner began an intensive and complete restoration over the next 9
months, work was completed in August 2014. In 2014, the truck
attended the 25th Annual I.H. Scout and Light Truck Nationals ?
Troy, OH where it was awarded ?Best of Show?, ?Best Interior? and
the ?Midnight Star Award? (Director?s choice). The truck was also
featured at the annual IHC Collectors ?Red Power Roundup? in
Salinas, MO in 2014. It was also the subject of the article ?The
Evolution of Automotive Design in the 1930?s? in Vintage Truck
Magazine (December 2015). The engine was rebuilt with new internals
(pistons, valves, etc.). Truck was completely disassembled, from
the frame to the body to the electrical, interior, everything was
restored, painted, chromed, whatever was needed. All gauges were
restored to original and tested. Truck was then reassembled and
tuned to factory specification. New braided wiring even contains
shielded wire for the taillights as per factory specifications.
Also included with a NIB SouthWind gasoline in-cab heater. The
International Green paint and trim are in overall excellent order,
the body is straight and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy
and the chrome bumpers look great. The cargo bed is in very good
order. This truck has a 113-inch wheelbase and a gross vehicle
weight rating of 4,278. An optional side-mounted spare tire is on
the passenger side. The cargo bed has custom made aluminum sidewall
wings rather than standard wood stakes. A custom made, painted
aluminum, International logo is affixed to the tail gate. This
Binder rolls on Goodyear tires, size 6.50-16LT with red wheels and
full factory chrome caps. The tires and wheels are all in very good
order. Powering the truck is a heavy-duty fully rebuilt, Green
Diamond 214 CID six-cylinder engine (#GRD-214) backed by a
three-speed manual transmission with synchromesh. Inside, there?s a
black bench seat that?s in great shape. Mats cover a bare green
floor and complimenting headliner are also in great shape. A
three-spoke Tacoma Cream steering wheel adds contrast. The green
instrument panel with full gauges and inner door panels echo the
rest of the interior?s theme. Half-ton competitors to this D-2 in
1940 included Chevrolet (Master Series GA and GB), Dodge?s
D-series, Ford, GMC?s T-14, Plymouth?s PT-50 and Willys? Americar.
