This 1938 International Harvester D-2 was moved to Idaho in the 1960s and was refurbished under previous ownership before it was purchased by the seller in 2023.

Features include 16″ artillery-style wheels, a front bumper, turn signals, a steel cargo bed, and a steering column-mounted fan. This D-2 pickup is now offered at no reserve with a rear bumper, a heater, factory literature, refurbishment photos, a 1964 Idaho registration, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.
