Description for International Harvester KB 1 1949

1949 International KB 1 Short Bed Pickup Truck – 41,000 Orig Miles

National Show Winner - 3rd Owner

The original owner (Louis Pappas) special ordered the truck for use on his farm in Ohio and kept the truck for over 40 years only putting just over 39,000 miles on it. The second owner (Raymond & Nina Gault) spent several years painstakingly restoring the truck back to Show Room condition using original International Harvester parts.

After the restoration was complete, the truck took First Place at the 18th Annual International Harvester Show in 2007 at Springfield, Ohio. (The show was Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of International Harvester’s introduction of Light Trucks.)

The truck is equipped as follows-

6 Cylinder International 214 Cubic Inch “Green Diamond” Engine
Column Shift 3-Speed Manual Transmission
Short Bed (approx. 6.5 feet) with Wood Inserts
2-Tone Red with Black
Heater
Dual Windshield Wipers
Dual Exterior Mirrors
Cow Catchers
Rear Bumper
Under Bed Spare Tire
Hub Caps
Stone Guards

1949 was the last year for the “K” series trucks and also for the split front windshield plus halfway through the 1949 Model year, the new “L” series trucks were introduced as the replacement for the “K”.

This truck is currently part of a very large Southern California auto collection and it is being offered by the third owner. All pictures of the truck were just taken for the eBay listing.
