- With its stacked headlights, wrap around windshield, egg crate grille and modern cockpit the 1959 - 1961 International Harvester B-170 “straight truck” proved Detroit’s influence on the trucking industry. And why did International trucks’ 20-inch front wheels always look “tucked in” compared to the competitors? Steve explains it all.
I worked as a tech at an International dealership in the early 2000s. Our parts department actually did a lot of business in NOS stuff. We actually sold a guy a new 345 crate motor for his Travelall restoration.
It is awesome to hear someone so knowledgeable talking so passionately about cars and trucks that most people forgot about decades ago. What a great channel!
Hello Frank Pd, THANK YOU for watching. I agree that cars and trucks from the past shouldn't be forgotten. After all, they're "how we all got here" (meaning they brought us from place to place on their wheels. Please stay tuned for more videos on a daily basis! And you've probably done this, but there is a library with over 200 videos on my channel so "binge away" on "the past videos" if you haven't yet. Have a GREAT day, Steve Magnante
I remember that smallest v8 at 266, had one in a half ton pickup.
I can appreciate his passion for junk yards and forgotten old iron
Some memories there Steve! My Dad's first "modern" garbage truck was a 61 International with a Heil rear load compactor body. He traded in his previous rig which was 51 or 52 Ford F6 with a flathead 6 banger and a 4 speed (this must have been about 1965) and we drove that old Ford several hundred miles to Klamath Falls Oregon to pick up the "new" truck. The 2 speed axel in F6 wouldn't shift to high range, so top speed was 45 all the way. We got in that International and headed home....man! It was like going from a model T to Caddy! Even though the new truck also had a six, it was OHV and way stronger and that baby rolled down the freeway 65-70 no sweat. Fun times for 14 year old!
It's really cool to see Steve doing more international truck videos.
I worked on an old International dump truck back in the day; it was a 10-wheeler with the 549 V-8 and an automatic transmission. The 549 was available with a turbocharger, and our unit had the carb-on-stilts that was designed for it but was also used naturally aspirated. The governor was part of the distributor, which was at the back of the block. It was accessed thru a panel on top of the trans tunnel and I had to lay upside down to install points in that puppy. Interesting bit of trivia: The 549 came with extra-wide piston rings for extended life, and the engine was often called the Broad-Ring 549. Remember Hee-Haw? Remember Junior Sample's phone number? " Call BR-549"...
The B series in Australia was with updates made up to 1980! International and Dodge due to smaller sales volumes here shared the basic body’s with different front end treatments.
In the smaller models, International used the in-line 6 and Dodge used the the slant 6 and the later Australian Hemi 245 in-line 6 from 1970.
The bigger ones used international 345 mostly and dodge the 318 and even big block 360
I have only basic knowledge of their history but imagine going into a Australian international or Dodge dealership and still being able to buy a new updated B series right up to 1980
IH and dodge made an agreement in the 70s that dodge stop making large trucks (series 8) and IH would get out of the small truck sales
The International V-8's were installed in some Matthews wooden yachts back then.
I had (2) '64 IH pickups a long bed and a short bed. My father has a '70 IH 1 TON WRECKER we used when we had our automotive repair service. Tough trucks , thanks Steve 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Quick correction. The smallest version of this engine was a 266 ci, not 288.
Yep. I had a 68 scout with a factory installed 266. This was pre internet. I needed a piston but none were to be found. I gave up and put a healthy 345 in it. Boy did that scout scoot then!
I recently got a 1960 B160 4x4 dump. It has a 304 v8. IH put a stamp on front of left (driver) head to show displacement. Since it has a large PTO winch on the front, it was used mainly to pull out stuck trucks on a ranch. As for the bearing caps, I drive late model Kenworths and Petes. I've lost 4 caps in 5 years driving through trees and in snow. These are just rubber plugs, but same idea. It sucks having to waste a roll of tape to keep from losing all the hub oil. Now I keep spare plugs in the trucks.
I have a 60 B160 4x4 flatbed with a BD264 straight six. These medium duty 4x4 IHs are very unique rigs. Only 1,134 B160 4x4s were built during their run.
Did notice the spring loaded belt tensioner on the engine, thats not something you see on many older V-belt setups!
Man I always thought those looked pretty cool! I always like international for what they did with their truck’s, specially the scout ll. Great history and video Steve!👌😎👍
I like those wheels. Ashamed someone don’t preserve them. Not sure what it could go in but I believe that motor wants to roar again
we called those manure spreader wheels, the rims are dangerous to work on.
Steve, your channel has pretty quickly become one of my favorites. It's top-notch content that's always interesting. You're also one of the only channels I know of where the comment section is almost as good as the videos. As a young guy in his early twenties I love seeing and reading all the stories people have about the stuff you're showing us. It's a great way to learn all about things I was never around to learn myself.
I used to drive an Inter Loadstar. Same basic cab until the fitewall then entirely different metal . Had the same Spider wheels. Ours was a tandem drive tipper. Originally 345 petrol but had been converted to Perkins 354. The whole firewall flexed every time you put your foot on the clutch. Never cut a hole in an Inter firewall! The Perkins was slow, the 345s used to go past me two gears up on most hills. Carrying around 15 tons.
I serviced the wheel bearings on an old homemade flatbed trailer. The owner didn't know what the axle was from but I figured it out when I saw the bearing races had International stamped on them! (the new races were stamped Mexico......)
I bought a 59 B100 short bed fleetside recently. I love the styling.
I once owned 2 IH Travelettes, one 1969 and the other 1972. That "small" series of engines were still being used in those trucks as well. Btw, the Travelette was IH's model for what Ford calls a "SuperCrew" nowadays. Unfortunately, the entire pickup line was discontinued with the 1975 model year, that one being the second model year to have disc brakes on the front.
I know where you can find another one , Ben from 406 Garage has one he's selling .
Had one of those at our volunteer fire dept. Custom built tank, fmc high pressure low volume pump. It started life as a grease rig for the navy.
Thing had a very low range gearing so didn't go to fast.
It replaced our 55 dodge power wagon pick up. Those two trucks would go almost anywhere in our mountain town.
I m constantly blown away with your knowledge of the automobile, thanks Steve 👍🏼
Steve I LOVE your show. Please keep up the good work. Also have read your articles in the past, loved them too! When winter comes I suggest you film in Texas or Arazona. That way you can film all year. Keep those wonderful shows comming and thanks.
My Late Grandpa on My Moms side had one of these kind of IH Trucks when i was a very small boy, in the 1960s. For wrecker service at his Then Sunoco station for gas and auto repair. Which to this day the property is A Toms Doughnuts and coffee shop in Angola,Indiana. 46703..
Brings back so many memories of life in a 60's small town. Many women stayed home with the kids and that set up a wide variety of people selling stuff from their cars and trucks. Two in particular used this style of international truck; the ice cream man and the produce man. The produce guy had a pretty green truck with shelves, a roof, and a scale in the bed. Thanks for bringing back that memory
Navistar was sold to VW months ago. Volkswagen is looking to bring back the Scout.
I sincerely hope not. 😢
@Self Made Auto lunatic
International trucks are my favorite I've driver quite a few different types and years of IH truck. I personally owed a 1971 Travel All great truck I wish they still made their small trucks
Steve, You obviously enjoy what you do....I love it!!!
Thought this was an Australian junkyard find.
International Harvester was the top selling truck make in Australia for most of the fifties to seventies. Being built in Australia kept the price down.
I think that grille was kept for a few years later facelift model, but shared with about sixty different models according to this Australian complication film of IHC starting in the late fifties :
th-cam.com/video/_Z8OLW75PVE/w-d-xo.html
Another unique to Australia aspect was international Harvester selling lots of the truck body and other parts to Chrysler Australia for use in Australian Dodge trucks using Dodge motors and transmission.
All helped keep local production numbers up and helped Chrysler keep their imported parts tax bill down.
My father had any early seventies IHC pick up using this body. Unusual in that it was ex Royal Australian Navy and was fitted with local PBR four wheel disc brakes. This was even before Australian muscle cars got four wheel disc brakes.
The only remains of international harvester is the truck division. The farm equipment division was bought by J I Case mainly because of the combine that International produced. Dresser bought up the industrial division. In 1980 the farm economy was so bad that every tractor made that year in America could have been built in to weeks time in the Farmall plant in Chicago. The UAW strike was the last straw for IH.
Yes Navistar/International is still in business today. We are owned by VW but we are still making trucks.
Youre videos are sweet!
Your traitor flag is NOT!
I was in the Air Force from 1962-1966 and drove this model every working day to tow nuclear weapons trailers. They had standard transmission with electric clutches.
I really enjoyed this video. These old IH trucks are just so neat, especially the A and B series, unique even within the overall uniqueness of the IH family. It's good to see these getting some much needed attention instead of being largely ignored as they have been for the most part since they were built. Thank you for highlighting this truck series.
That being said, I'm sorry, Mr. Magnante, I hate to be the one to mention this, but some of your information in this video is incorrect. It's kind of long winded, but I have written up some comments on this below:
These trucks did not end production in 1961, but rather in 1962, it's a small but important distinction. I own two of these. One is a 1960 B122 shortbed narrowbox pickup and the other is a 1962 B182 road tractor, with air brakes and fifth wheel. The B series ran from model years 1959 to 1960 in the light trucks and 1959 to 1962 in the medium/medium-heavy trucks, when it was replaced with the Loadstar conventionals in the medium/medium-heavy line, while the new C series had replaced the B in the Light Line in 1961, the first year to separate the light and medium lines into different body styles. That's not an error, the B series trucks remained in production in 1962 while the Loadstars were being introduced the same year. While this may seem rather strange, it is not unusual for IH. They kept a number of disparate older body styles in production as new models were being introduced.
The B series replaced the A series, or "Anniversary" series, which ran from model years 1957 to 1958 and included the same models as the B series from 100 to 180. Some lucky few out there have even seen the AC and BC model trucks from the same series (look those up, they're a little wild, they are the basis for the Loadstar models mentioned above). The only real difference between the A and B is the single headlights and trapezoid grille insert on the A vs the stacked dual headlights and eggcrate grille on the B, and minor cosmetic differences in the cab. Everything else is largely unchanged. Including the instrument cluster pod and suspended pedals. The A series was the first model to do both of those things. Being the Anniversary, and also the Golden Jubilee, IH made a huge departure from their previous designs with these, and they really stand out with lots of new features and engineering advances.
Not only are these the only Internationals with stacked headlights, they're the only US production trucks with stacked headlights untill GM introduced them on certain models of the squarebody pickups much later. As you mentioned, some passenger cars had stacked dual headlights before this, but no trucks did, before this series. Personally, I think the B series is the best looking truck ever made, by anyone.
Additionally, those earlier trucks you mentioned as having been replaced by the B series? Not quite accurate. What you showed in your sales copy are the V series heavy trucks, Introduced in 1956, which share a lot of characteristics with the R series, which entered production in 1953, and both of those series remained in production untill 1968 (two models of the R didn't end untill 1974), when they were replaced with model lines that looked very similar, such as the new Fleetstar line. These are all very big, very heavy trucks, and were not in the same market space as the B series in this video. Other design similarities during that period were carried forward in the heavy fleet production M, F, and D series lines well into the 1960s and even the 1970s as well. More accurately, the A series replaced the vastly differently styled S series which was produced untill 1956, and then the B series replaced the A. Another weird side note, one model of the S from 1955-1956, a Metroette delivery van, (referred to as the AB series) remained in production at least untill 1965.
As I said, the V series was introduced in 1956, and you can probably guess why it was called the V series: The base engine was a gasoline V8. Technically, there are three V8 families, not two. The V series trucks used what is now colloquially referred to as the "LV" or "Large V8" engine family, which also had diesel variants as well as gasoline, and yes, ranged from 401 to 549 CID in the gassers, and all the way up to 551 in the diesel versions. As someone else pointed out in another comment, there was eventually a 605CID gasoline version of these. Some years later, IH introduced the MV or "Medium V8" family, ranging from 404 to 446 CID; this family had no diesel variants untill the block was repurposed and dieselized in the 1980s to become the 6.9 and then 7.3 IDI diesel engines, and eventually evolved into the T444E direct injection diesel engine. Both the LV and the MV were available in medium and heavy trucks, but never in light trucks, although IH did test-fit an MV404 in a light truck at one time, and found it possible but impractical, which is ironic considering its eventual reincarnation as a light and medium truck diesel. It is also a somewhat amusing observation that the LV was available with a lower CID than the MV's smallest displacement, despite being a physically much larger engine.
The V8 engine family introduced with the B series in 1959 was the SV or "Small V8" family, which consisted of four blocks, the 266, 304, 345, and 392 cubic inch displacements, there was no 288. My B122 started life with a Black Diamond BD220, but I replaced that with a 304 out of a 1965 D1200. My B182 still has the original 345 it came with, along with the original 5 speed transmission and 2 speed axle. It is an interesting side note that, unlike other manufacturers, these engines are all separate castings. A 266 cannot be bored out or converted into a 304, or a 304 converted into a 345, or a 345 converted to a 392. While some of the castings do share parts, such as the 266 and 304 using the same intake, and the 345 and the 392 using the same intake, and other shared internal parts between specific engines, they are compleatly different block castings and one cannot be turned into any of the others just by machining, in the way every other V8 engine manufacturer's blocks can be. A 304 block is a 304 block, a 392 block is a 392 block, no matter what else somebody might do to them.
The SV series is technically a smallblock full skirted Y block; the smallest one weighs roughly 900lbs and is physically larger and heavier than the largest big block from any other manufacturer (block designations are by family, not by physical size, so while the SV is enormous, it is still a smallblock within the IH families). Scouts did not get the 266 untill 1967, but the rest of the light line as well as the Medium/Medium-heavy lines got the full range of these engines as soon as they were available.
Only the 345 and 392 could be had with a 4 barrel carburetor from the factory, either a Holley 390CFM square bore marine carburetor, or a Carter ThermoQuad. There is a 4 barrel intake available for the 266 and 304 engines now, but that is fairly recent aftermarket development, IH never offered that. Many 345s got a 2 barrel Holley 2300 from the factory, though they could be had with the Holley 2210 as well, especially later in the 1970s. Very few 392s came with a 2 barrel, but as far as I know, those that did, always had a 2300, usually the 2300G. All of these engines are hydraulic flat tappet lifters on a fairly mild cam, and nearly all of them use that rocker shaft stand for the valves (I've never seen an SV that doesn't use that). Many SV engines also had valve rotators and hardened valves/seats.
In the A and B series, they were drop frames in the 100 to 130 models, but the 140 and up were straight frame trucks. It wasn't untill the first C model in 1961 that they used a drop frame for everything from 100 up to the 150. Interestingly, while this truck in the video has Dayton spoke wheels, these trucks could have been had new with those or with Budd steel dish wheels. My B122 has factory Budd wheels, my B182 has factory Dayton wheels like this truck. I have seen A and B series trucks of all sizes/models with both Budd and Dayton wheels.
International made both powered and unpowered axles, for both steer and non-steer positions. They made live solid axles using an internally manufactured licensed Rockwell design, and undriven I beam drop axles, as well as tube tag axles. Very heavy, very durable, and nearly impossible to source parts for today. They were very well designed and had a lot of advantages in their construction, but unfortunately there has never been any aftermarket support for them. I have several of these as well. These trucks could be had with either IH Corporate or Dana/Spicer drive axles, front or rear. The IH-sourced Dana 70 front and rear axles were in high demand in the offroad community for quite some time, so it's not uncommon to see an old IH 1-ton or heavier truck in the junkyard with no axles.
Formerly perhaps the largest builder of commercial trucks in the world, International Truck and Engine Company (ITEC) has become a shadow of its once great glory and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Navistar, which itself was recently acquired by the Volkswagen group. Possibly solely to obtain the Scout nameplate and IP. The fate of the rest of the company remains uncertain, but VW has unveiled plans to re-introduce the Scout name in a new SUV. The designs released so far do not look promising.
Most of this information can be found in the excellent resource, "International Trucks" by Frederick Crismon. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in IH history or general truck history. IH was the first to implement an awful lot of evolutionary designs that we all take for granted today, and it's all carefully detailed in that book. It isn't perfect, there are a very few well noted errors in it, but nevertheless it remains a definitive authority on these trucks.
Steve ! Find me one of those 302 CI GMC inline 6. Back in the day when GMC made there own engines. Love the videos . God’s Speed !
My first “car” was a 1959 International Harvester A-120 Panel 4x4 with the Black Diamond 240 6 cylinder engine. 😀
But Steve...what happens when you've looked at all the cars in that junkyard?
406 garage has an excellent channel of all IH trucks
it's nice seeing more international love on YT
O that brings back memories. My father had a red b160 tow truck .
Yes International Truck is still in business
Appreciate you bringing Junkyard Gold to youtube!
I always thought they where the same block. Looked so much a like. Used a diesel version of the gas v8 in a trailer yard years ago. Thanks Steve
Many years ago when I was going to Community College, I was in work/study to help pay for tuition. Part of the maintenance crew, I did a number of jobs they trained me to do. One of them was to run the emergency generator for thirty minutes on Friday afternoon. It was a physically huge International gas V-8. Fun task, it had to do with an engine. I wonder if that stationary engine is one of the big V-8s being discussed here.
I miss roadkills junkyard gold!
I restored a 69 Travelall. Parts were insane to find.
My father had a 1962 B190 that came from the state of Vermont. It had a 345 and would haul 12 ton like it was nothing
Interesting to see the late 50's styling in US Internationals, The Aussie built units tended to mimic Older Inter US Models and often shared bodies with Dodge trucks in the 60's and 70's but that stacked headlight model International we saw here in the late 60's with 292 inline 6's and 345/392 combo's in the bonneted models and are still sought after today as restorers.
The reason I ran early 70's Internationals was because their Track was much wider on the cabover versions and not prone to body roll even loaded plus they were way better than the Japanese imports and the earlier British Cab chassis 3,5 and 8 ton offerings plus the Aus Army used them extensively so there were plenty available as surplus.
5 years pushing those old girls as daily workers with a 345 and short glasspack exhausts and they rarely failed.
Some Australian inters IHC starting in the late fifties :

The grill here later upgrade.
Great crawl as always! My Grandparents used Scouts on the farm in the mts of vermont, maybe the best 4 wheel drive ever made. As I watched this it occurred to me how much fun it would be to see you do a Junk Yard Crawl dedicated to exploring the history of Eagle, from AMC to Chrysler to its own brand. The original Eagle wagons were amazing Utes.
Have 60 b160 with factory brush guard. Less than 70k original miles. Needs total restoration. A real cool old truck to drive. Used it to haul corn silage and hay.
We had one of these with the straight six at the farm. Good work truck. Terrible rust bucket but it's early life was a lumber delivery truck in Toronto for perhaps 5 years. It had synchromesh! So much easier to drive than the neighbour's slightly older crash box equipped one. Good forgiving beast to learn to double-declutch on though.
Navistar is part of the VW group. They make HD trucks under the international brand.
The whole point of Hemis and splayed valve heads like SB2.2, Little Chief, R07, Clevelands is that you can fit larger valves and as the valve opens, it actually gets unshrouded by moving AWAY from fhe cylinder wall (the airflow around the valve forms a "flow cone" and when the cylinder wall is too close to the head of the valve, that cone cannot form and airflow suffers) but if you look at the IH heads in the 304/345/392, the valves open TOWARDS the cylinder wall, actually shrouding it MORE than if it was a simple inline wedge design! Perhaps IH knows something I don't and there was a method to their madness! I still like the half a V8 152 with the factory turbo! Now THAT is a rare one!
I drove a 1960 model of this truck in 1973/74 when I was 18 years old for my first job after high school making $2.35 per hour.
I love your passion.
Front looks like a Checker Marathon Taxi. 🐾🐕🐶
The 537 c.i.d. and 605 c.i.d. were the last generation of IH large V gas engines. They were a complete redesign and share almost no parts with the earlier LV401,461,478,and 549.in 96 i had a 605 in my back yard off-road truck wich was a 605 4speed to np205 transfer case to rockwell 5 ton axles to 16.00-20 tires . body and frame were chevy blazer that had rearched springs from springfield spring 60 inch long with a 20 inch center. even with 1 100 shot of nos it was alow rpm dog . blew that up went to caddy 500 . now it has a 454 30 over with 6-71 blower and foa 20 inch coil overs with 4 links . full tube frame and still has blazer body . when i first built it i was 20 now ill never get rid of it .
Great Video Steve. We had a 61 b Series 5 ton we used as ramp truck. It worked really well and we had it painted in or company colours It started with the 6 cylinder but after we hung the rods out of 2 of them while y brother figured out the 2speed rear axle! We went with the549 because it had the torque that we just left the 2speed r/a in high range It saved the engines from missed shifts! Great trucks fun video Thanks
I love the way these look. Super cool atomic age styling, as you put it.
Ever checked out the international trucks in Australia ran in the 70-80s ?
International trucks are alive & well.
Recently Navistar was bought by Traton Group a subsidiary of Volkswagen.
Great video 🙂👍
Always entertaining...always educational...big fan Steve keep em coming
hey ! in Australia at least, we had the International AB-110 & AB130, which were double headlights (slanted) in the early 1960s , so these count as twin headlight designs... Dodge & International (in Australia at least) shared the same cab, & other pieces.. i dunno about other countries, as I had a 1979 Dodge D5N ute... (Ex Telecom)
Steve , you and Ben ought to do a collaboration on international rigs ( 406 garage on TH-cam ) , he's quite the collector of the old internationals and can tell you some great stories
My father had the same truck for many years, even in the color red
Bicknell & Fuller
Peabody, MA
Still in business.
I've seen the 288 in a scout years ago. Very cold natured
Do more International trucks!!! 👍
I really wish that if Volkswagen is going to bring back an international truck, they would bring back the 1600 Cargostar cab on a "one ton" frame.
Maybe now they really are INTERnation-als?
Enjoyed!!! 👍👍👍
You asked about International Navistar: I own a 2021 5500 Chevy Silverado “dump” truck built by International Navistar. It has the stickers and logos all over it indicating it was an International rebadged as a Silverado. …or so it would seem. It has a Duramax turbo diesel and Allison transmission.
This was such a great looking truck for its time. Hey, I readily admit to being a life-long Chevy guy, but the 1959-61 International looks so much cleaner and more modern than the Chevy/GMC/Ford/Dodge of the same era. I think tha the simplicity of the '55 Chevy-inspired grille has a lot to do with that.
About 5 years ago, a local used car lot had a cosmetically restored Travelall of this vintage on the front line. Metallic leaf green and cream two-tone and very pretty. The only detractor, in my opinion, was the set of 1970's loking white "wagon wheels". Stock steelies with factory hubcaps would have been the way to go. All in all, it was very nice looking truck, and you most likely would have the only one at your next car show.
Steve, the small IH V8 gas engine is 266 cid.
IH build work horse trucks, thanks for the Junk Yard videos.
Very KOOL truck
My school bus was that year in 1960👍
Back in the in the mid 70's I had a 1965 pickup with the 304 V8 & three on the tree to haul my dirt bikes around in. Only had it for a short while because I quickly found out parts were kinda expensive for them compared to one from the big three plus it had a tendency to vapor lock in hot weather. I believe they used the same cab design up to 1969 when they did a complete redesign.
Cool!
That truck looks like my ex wife s grandfather the way he drives stuff. New yesterday look like that in 2 days. Drive first look last when pulling out on the road or crossing an intersection
International made good vehicles. I looked at, was interested in buying, a Scout with the 392 out of a bus. The AC worked and it had power but here in Pennsylvania the rust always wins. You could see the Bondo exposed and falling out of everywhere.
A very modern look compare to what they were doing a few years previous for sure.
Love these videos !
This makes me happy I have natural gas heat instead of heating oil!
Had the dump truck as a kid the windshield was in perfect shape which was a rarity
I just had to look up that address, a big new building there now.
Steve, you are the David Attenborough of the junkyard.
Keep on crawling!
I spy a 1956 IH in the background....
I think those concave wheels look good
Steve, as I recall there was no 288ci engine, but there was a 266.
Another Good video Steve !! How's the old Cop car coming along?
There was no 288 but the 266 was the small V8. In a B 170, one of the bigger medium duties, that is most likely a 304 or 345. engine.
I’m surprised nobody rescues that one I believe these are quite a rare bird. But I’m sure there could be a good reason it’s there
He mentioned a 288 cumin engine. Never heard of that. That one should be a 266 though. Same dimensions as a 304. The 345 and 392 have a taller deck. The 266 and 304 were never offered with a 4 bbl from the factory.
Steve, wasn't the truck that this replaced a "R" series truck? I had a 1948 KBR8 which I bought out of a scrap yard...I drug it to the yard, did a major tune up, truck ran well...I ended up selling both trucks I had...
Corn binders are cool trucks.
My first vehicle at 16 was a 1960 international pickup up. 6 cylinder 264 ci. With 3 on the tree. If u kicked it.. u would hurt ur foot and no dent. When u closed hood u could hear the "CHANG!" A mile,away. Lol took a MaN to drive it tho. Not for the faint of heart to maneuver. Lol
it's has Dayton lugs old school wobble wheels
The direct predecessor to these trucks were also quite stylish comparable to Fors and Chevrolet.
The A series came in 58-59 before the B series, and after the S series in 56-57
