In total there were 42 models, 142 different wheelbase lengths and load ratings ranging from 1/2 ton to 90,000 lbs.[1] They are best known for their durability, prewar design in a postwar era, and low price. The followup to the K, the KB, was introduced in 1947, with the characteristic difference being a widened lower grill appearing like "wings". Between 1947 and 1949 122,000 KB-1 and KB-2 trucks were sold. -------- KB1 SPECIFICATION INFORMATION --------SPECIFICATIONS INTERNATIONAL MODEL KB-1 Gross Vehicle Weight 4,400 lbs.
