Make: International Harvester Model: K-6 Year Model: 1943 Date First Sold: 1942 This is a Very Rare WWII Production Model. Very Few were made. And sold Only to Critical Wartime Contractors and the U.S. Military. Well worth Restoring. The "Box" can be kept or swapped out for any type of carriage you want, Pickup, Tow Truck, Flatbed, or a better looking Box. Condition: Appears Original and mostly intact. This was used for the past 11 years mainly as a sign holder for a local business. It needs to be gone thru electrically and mechanically to be road worthy. Tires: Size: 7.50x20. Tread is decent. One Tire on each side of the rear need new tubes. Body: Very tight with minimal rust. This is Not from the salty / humid rust belt. It has been in Nevada and California for all of its life. Needs a new drivers side windshield, and weather striping all around, as well as paint. The Bench seat is excellent+ and was probably restored some time back. Mechanical; Brakes: Not holding pressure. Emergency brake works. Clean Clear Title I have battery on order and will attempt to verify its running condition hopefully before the auction ends. The man who had it said it started right up and ran fine 4 years ago. Oil is good. Ignition and plugs look good. No apparent defects. Payment: A $250.00 deposit is due at auction close. Balance can be paid by bank check, check, or cash if picked up. Shipping: e-Bay provides shipping quotes for US and International shipments. It has been my experience that these costs Vary quite a bit! I recommend that you shop around for the best price. This is a 100% Straight honest Auction. I am not a International Expert. This is a Very Old, Solid, Original and Complete Classic Truck that is needing restoration. Sorry, I will not end the auction early. Highest bidder gets it.
