1956 International 4x4 Pickup Truck

Haven't posted on here for a while but this one needed to be captured before someone gets lucky and buys it!  This one is especially tough because it is for sale in my home town! 

From the listing:

This listing is for a 1956 International Harvester IHC S-120 3/4 Ton 4x4 longbed pickup truck. It was originally purchased in Cle Elum, and lived there most of its life as a farm truck. I am the third owner, and the truck currently has just over 46,500 original miles. The truck comes equipped with the original 220 cubic-inch Silver Diamond engine and a floor mounted 4-speed manual transmission. It has a high and low range transfer case, effectively providing 8 forward gears and of course, reverse.

The truck also comes with the original factory build sheet showing it is a 3/4 ton truck. The build sheet also lists both the extended front bumper and 8,000 pound Ramsey PTO driven front winch as factory options. The hardware for the 8 foot dump bed was added somewhere around 1960. It is supplied with hydraulic fluid from a reservoir in the engine bay, and driven by a belt-driven hydraulic pump. Two large cylinders lift the bed, which holds just over one yard of material. The Setina push bumpers were added to allow the truck to push another vehicle.

I once used the winch to pull a car in Park with the emergency brake on and it did not make any difference. Another time I accidentally buried both right wheels up to the axles in mud, and just put the truck in 4-wheel drive and literally pulled out of it without any hesitation. I can't think of a situation it would not drive through.

It has a rebuilt carburetor, new tires with inner tubes, and recent tune-up. It does need to have the rear lights rewired, but you could drive it now and fix them later. The heater, wipers, and all other lights work. I hold a clear WA state title, registration, and tags for the truck. It can be driven anywhere, and I will arrange delivery anywhere in WA for a full-price offer and reimbursement of fuel costs. If you need a work horse pickup at 1/4 the cost of a new truck (which probably has less capability), this is for you.

Great piece at AutoBlog

How Not to Buy a Project Vehicle: The tale of the 1975 International Pickup

Great piece over at AutoBlog on the search, purchase and transportation of a 1975 IH 4x4 from a fellow called 'Shady Bobby'.  Funny story and great pics of a neat old truck.  Been there - doing that.

1957 IH A-120

Another beauty from Oregon:

This is a 1957 International A-120. I bought this truck in Montana twelve years ago but now its got to go because I am making room for other projects. This truck is in great original shape with original paint on the cab. Truck bed has recently been repainted. The seat has been re-upholstered but he door panels are original and in good shape. Mechanically very sound. Ive had the head re-conditioned; all the wheel bearings have been serviced and are in good shape. I have switched out the non-synchro transmission for one with synchros. This makes it easier to drive. The original transmission comes with it. It has a new clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing. It came with very low gears so I have changed the rear-end gearing to four: tens. The front end still needs to be switched which will cost approx. $300. This is a great truck and you wont find one in better original condition than this.

1963 International Travelall

This one is for sale in Boise which is a good thing - if it was any closer, it would be in my driveway.  This old truck brings back a lot of great memories.

International Crew Cab

Saw one of these a few years ago at an IH get-together and it had been totally restored and it was just fantastic.

1968 International Harvester Shortbed Crewcab 4x4 Project!!! All original including the 345 V8 that was completely rebuilt 5 years ago. It has a manual transmission. I fired it up about 6 months ago and it ran good, but is a project. I have over $400 in new brake parts that haven't been installed on it yet. The previous owner started to rewire the dash so that is all apart at the moment. This is a project truck but it wont take much because it is complete. Very solid, some rust around rear bumper on both sides, other than that it is in good condition. Only dent is under right rear taillight and that can be popped out easily, very straight truck with original paint. I have an extra windshield to go with as well. Heavy duty "Warn" winch mounted on the front bumper. All chrome present and in good condition. Trying to restore the Mach 1 otherwise I would keep this one. I have seen what these trucks go for in worse condition. If I keep and finish truck price will go up. These trucks are really cool when finished, perfect for the collector. Sorry no trades
