really love our International-Harvester trucks here at MotoeXotica
Classic Cars. We are very proud and pleased to present this over
the top full profession nut and bolt restored 1952 International
R-110 3/4-ton pickup truck. We usually see top notch restorations
like this with classic American trucks from the big three but in
this instance, we really have to tip our Harvester hat to the boys
over at Prescott Hot Rods of Prescott Arizona, for performing such
a stand up restoration on a vintage International pickup! Out of
all the International pickups we have sold in the last two decades,
we can confidently say this one is truly one of the best! Prescott
Hot Rodshave provided us with full photo documentation of the
restoration from the very beginning to the end and many of those
photos are provided in the listing gallery images. They started
restoration with a original truck from Pocatello, Idaho. They even
chose a fantastic year to restore as the 1952 was the first year
for the R-series, a product of design chief Ted Ornas and the first
year for the well known farmer on the tractor IH corporate logo
designed by Raymond Loewy which makes this particular truck an
excellent collector milestone for International. This truck was
originally made between January and November 1952 in
International's Chicago, Illinois factory and is a three-quarter
ton truck with 127-inch wheelbase, eight-foot cargo bed, 2,800-lb.
carrying capacity and 5,400-lb. GVWR. Beneath that exquisite bright
green metallic paint are multiple areas with Rhino Liner installed
for sound absorption. The green metallic paint and black trim are
in excellent outstanding order, as are the truck's lights and
windows and you would expect from a professional restoration, the
truck's bodywork is very straight and solid and this truck appears
in person 1952 showroom new! The truck features a "Comfo-Vision"
cab, an all-steel one that seats three people with a one-piece,
curved "Sweepsight" windshield for a non-obstructed front view. The
truck has split rear windows along with a curved contour instrument
panel. The engine bay is extremely tidy and highly detailed to the
very last bolt, same as is the cargo bed, complete with dual,
locking compartments behind the cab. On the driver's side running
board is a jerry can that matches the trim and a spare tire hangs
on the passenger side of the cargo bed. The truck's correct black
bumpers and headlight rings are in matching condition to the rest
of the body. This Binder rolls on General Grabber radials, size
235/70R16 tires mounted on black steel wheels with factory wheel
covers, including the spare tire. The tires and wheels are all in
excellent condition and the front wheels stop excellent with a new
heavy duty front disk conversion! Under the one-piece hood that can
be opened from either side is International's 220 CID Silver
Diamond straight six-cylinder engine matched with the optional T-98
four-speed manual transmission. The motor now benefits from a new
quality aluminum radiator. Couple new features of the Silver
Diamond engine was new stellite-faced slo-roto exhaust valves
rotated during operation. Exhaust-valve seats are of long-lasting
durachrome, a high chrome-nickel content metal that insures more
efficient valve operation for a longer period of time. Carburetion
is new too; the visible-flow carburetor featuring a fast-idle cam
that speeds engine warm-up, contributing to greater fuel economy.
Other features of the Silver Diamond engine included a new
ceramic-filter fuel pump engineered to prevent vapor lock; hotter
spark plugs to minimize carbon formation; a wide-lobe camshaft that
lengthens the life of camshaft and tappets and a capsule-type
thermostat that is unaffected by water pressure, assuring faster
engine warm-up and positive maintenance of proper operating
temperature. The engine rested on three rubber mounting points,
called Buoyant Power Engine Mounting. International claimed a
smoother, quieter power flow and longer engine life as well as
fewer engine noise and vibrations transmitted to the cab and frame.
Inside, the cab has been fully restored, too. The tan leather bench
seat (which smells nice and rich) is in fresh and excellent shape
while the contrasting black carpet is in excellent order. The
headliner matches the leather seat and is in identical condition. A
black, three-spoke steering wheel faces the driver and looks
fantastic. The green over tan instrument panel features full
instrumentation and it looks fantastic, as do the inner door
liners. Rounding out the interior is an All-Fresh-Air heater and an
Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player connected to two 6x9 speakers
behind the bench seat and it sound excellent in this International!
The radio is connected to a power antenna concealed and mounted on
the frame rail of the truck. Underneath of this handsome truck is a
stunning and very tidy undercarriage and is a must see! The highly
detailed undercarriage really tells the story of this top quality
restoration from Prescott Hot Rods. While International may have
been the last to offer an all-new postwar pickup, its tardiness
ensured it was the most advanced of the new trucks. It was truly an
all-new truck, from the wide three-man width Comfo-Vision cab with
two-piece rear window, to the one-piece left- or right-side opening
hood (just like Buicks), and the Silver Diamond engine tucked
underneath. Upon its introduction in 1950, it was the only pickup
to have an all-insert bearing, a fully pressured oil system and an
overhead valve engine. While International's line of L-Series
pickup didn't lack in engineering, some argued that it was want for
looks. The truck's sides were rounded in a fashion similar to its
contemporaries, but the grille was generally panned as being too
complex looking. Cleaning things up was part of the job of the
revised R-Series trucks, which were introduced in late 1952 and a
few subtle refinements along with a more refined grille highlights
of the new release. Documentation includes original owner's manual,
full photo documentation of the restoration, plus books and a CD
related to the truck's stereo system. Competition to this Binder in
1952 includes Chevrolet's 3100 Advance Design, Dodge's B-series
truck, Ford's F100 and GMC's New Design trucks. This stunning
International truck needs to be seen in person to be fully
appreciated, so please visit MotoeXotica Classic Cars today!
