Sometimes a vehicle comes along.. who am I kidding, I want everything here, including this great looking 1970 International 1100D 4×4 pickup. This sweet, square truck is posted on eBay with a current bid price of $7,100 and a buy it now price of $8,500. It’s located in Londonderry, New Hampshire.
This is one great looking I-H pickup. The seller says that this one “is overall in excellent condition with very little to no rust. The only rust starting to show is in the front lower fenders.” I don’t even see it so it must really be a small area. This is so close to being what I would consider the perfect pickup, or at least the perfect vintage pickup.
This is an all-around nice design, in my opinion. It still looks modern today but not modern as in 2018 swoopy-woopy lines and angry-face grilles and all that nonsense, but as in crisp and clean design. Ted Ornas, International’s head of design gets the credit for this mid-1969 through 1975 line of trucks. The inside of the bed looks good, too, like it’s been used but not abused.
The interior looks great other than a couple of areas on the driver’s side of the bench seat. I thought that this truck had been restored but I think it may be mostly original. The rubber floor mat is original which is pretty cool after 48 years. The “dash pad has no cracks and everything on the instrument panel works like it should.” And, it’s a 4-speed! Hagerty is at $10,700 for a #3 good condition example so this could be a good buy even with fairly heavy shipping costs for those of us not on the east coast.
Arrrrggg.. ok, hey, let’s check out this 180 hp, 304 cubic-inch V8! It sure looks good, overall. It had a NOS Holley 2-barrel carb installed last fall and there isn’t much info given on how it runs. They do say that it “needs new valve cover gaskets and new u-joints on the front driveshaft.” I absolutely love this pickup, it’s the perfect full-sized vintage truck in my opinion. Have any of you owned a D-Series International pickup?
Grand pa always had IHC on this farm and got along fairly well with them. I had a 1210 as my first 4×4. Tough as nails, rode like a lumber wagon. Very slow cranking speed on starter motors in cold weather was always concerning. Drove it untill rust got so bad I had to give up. This one looks so nice, its hard for me to understand how it got this old and didn’t get beat to death.
What a cool old 4×4 IHC pickup truck and it’s already gone with the $8,500.00 BIN price.
Did this guy use this truck? We had 4x4s on the farm where I was raised and they were well used. We took care of them but by the time we were finished with them, they had run their course. Could take this truck right to my place and drop it off…
The IH have always had a good reputation for being bullit prof and long lasting, to bad they were so slow and thirsty. That said they were built to work! Mostly on farms and they did that well. This truck though looks like it lead an easy life. At $8500,00 this looks like a bargain.
Besides me somebody else out there agrees with you, canadainmarkseh. Truck is Gone, SOLD Today for the Buy-It-Now Price $8500.
Perfect pickup? For some maybe, can’t deny the unbelieveable condition of this, but not me. I’ve driven many IH’s over the years, mostly heavy duty, dump trucks and semi’s, and while the mechanic’s of these trucks were pretty much unstoppable, the D series, I feel, fell short in almost every other category, compared to the other makers. It was if they knew the end was near for their light truck line. Compared to previous IH pickups, which I liked, I didn’t care for these. They were popular, mostly for farmers that had IH farm stuff, ( we NEVER saw IH pickups in the big city) and I bet today, in the back fields of many (abandoned) farms, is the shell of one of these.
I like the squarish lines of the old ’68-72 Chevy trucks the most of any truck ever made and this is definitely more square looking than those.
Almost too much, but these were first and foremost and meant only for work. I’m amazed by the condition of this 48 year old laborer on wheels, no way this could be a survivor.
i just saw this truck in bennington vermont at roy plumbing shop on harwood hill, he has many vintage trucks, but this one is real nice.
Another great but too late “Barn Find” ……
Maybe this one spent its life working inside the plumbing shops warehouse. That’s the only way I can think of that a work truck in VT would be around this long without giving in to the tin worm. Good looking truck, somebody got a keeper.
