International – other models: the collective page of pick-ups and vans outside the named ranges, from the K, L, R and S series to the Travelette cab, four- and eight-cylinder engines

International Harvester was formed in 1902 in Chicago from the merger of several farm-machinery makers, including McCormick and Deering, and from the century's first decade also built light and medium trucks; the commercial-vehicle division now trades as International (Navistar). This collective page gathers the models the register could not assign to a named range, including the K, L, R and S pick-up and stake-bed series of the 1940s to 1960s and the four-door Travelette cab for up to six people.

The register lists 55 versions with four- to eight-cylinder engines from 3,273 to 7,439 cc, kerb weights from 1,241 to 3,320 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,766 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,700 to 2,350 mm.

International pick-ups competed in North America with Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge for farm and trade customers, trading on the brand's reputation as a rugged maker of farm machinery and trucks; the Travelette is regarded as one of the first pick-ups with a four-door cab at all.

When buying a used example, check for rust in the frame, load bed and cab floor, the condition of the carburettor and ignition on the older petrol engines, and the availability of body panels, which can still be sourced through specialist vintage-parts dealers in North America but mean import effort in Europe; on four-wheel-drive versions, check the transfer case and hubs.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
