Few International-Harvester pickup trucks come rarer than this one. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is happy to present this 1968 I-H Bonus Load half-ton pickup truck. This highly optioned truck spent its life in the dry Arizona mining town of Morenci and it really shows, where the owner of Viallanti Motor Freight Company as his personal truck ordered it new. It was originally registered in Arizona in March of 1968 and the proof of that is very telling with the amazing original undercarriage!
This truck left the factory with the following options: air-conditioning (very rare), three-point harness (also very rare) automatic transmission, deluxe package, cloth seats, dome lamp, full-size spare tire, power steering, power brakes, transistor radio.
The professional applied light green paint and trim are in fantastic condition, as are the truck’s glass panels, no haze or cracks or scratches to be found. Its lights are in very good order and the truck rolls on 235/75R15 whitewall tires with factory wheel covers. All of the body panels are straight and solid; even the cargo bed with its full-size spare tire, is in great condition, with no noticeable dents or other blemishes. The engine bay is very tidy; the front bumper is in very good order, as is the battery. The muffler was replaced in September 2015 and the air-condition was recharged in April 2016.
Under the hood is I-H’s 304 CID V-8, backed by a Borg-Warner three-speed automatic transmission. Both have been rebuilt as stated by the previous owner's logbook, however no physical receipts in hand.
Inside, the recently restored correct green cloth from SMS bench seat is in very good condition. The headliner above is in good order and the metal instrumental panel looks new. The two-spoke steering wheel is in very good shape, as are the interior door panels. The mirror glass and shift are both in good shape, too. Completing the interior are the original pushbutton AM radio and I-H rubber floormats. This truck is equipped with rarely seen factory A/C unit which blows, but not cold.
Documentation includes original owner’s manual, a logbook noting 2014 purchase, 2014 gas mileage data, list of items repaired and other data, samples of replacement upholstery, receipts showing $7,800 worth of restoration plus miscellaneous insurance and inspection documents.
