Offered for sale is my 1952 International Harvester L-130, a distinctive one-ton dually featuring the exceptionally long 9½-foot bed. This is not your typical vintage pickup, and finding another example in this configuration and condition is no easy task. VIN 9266 Built during an era when trucks were designed to work hard and last for generations, the L-130 represents the rugged craftsmanship that made International Harvester legendary. What makes this particular truck special is its remarkable originality. Rather than being converted into a street rod or fitted with modern running gear, it has been preserved in its original-style mechanical configuration. The truck has undergone a mild frame-off restoration, including a rebuild of its original engine, while retaining the authentic character that makes these vehicles so desirable.

Why this truck stands apart Most people are familiar with the classic Ford and Chevrolet pickups of the 1950s. Far fewer have encountered an International L-130 dually with a bed stretching nearly ten feet behind the cab. These trucks were built as working machines, and many were subjected to decades of demanding farm, ranch, and commercial use. Finding an example that still retains its original-style drivetrain, six-volt system, and distinctive body configuration is a special opportunity. This isn't a truck that has been modified into something it was never intended to be. It offers the chance to experience an International as it was designed to be driven, with the benefit of an engine rebuild and thoughtful restoration. Whether you're an International Harvester enthusiast, a vintage truck collector, or someone looking for an unforgettable addition to a private collection, this truck has the presence and character to stand apart. I have personally never encountered another one quite like it. A remarkable candidate for classic truck shows, a ranch collection, promotional displays, or simply enjoying a piece of American automotive history.
