Another Binder has landed at MotoeXotica Classic Cars; this one is a 1958 A120 three-quarter ton 4x4 pickup. Finished in a very handsome metallic green with black bumpers, black wheels and dark stained wood, this recently restored 4x4 International totally looks the part!
This particular example received a body-off-frame restoration recently. Its Metallic Hunter Green exterior is beautifully finished and is in very good condition. The truck’s windows are all in very good condition, clear and intact. The truck’s lights are in good order and clear, too. This Binder, with its 114-inch wheelbase, rolls on 285/75R16 radials at all four corners and the wheels are all-black steelies. The body panels are straight and solid, including the stepside cargo bed with its wooden floor and swing-down wooden tailgate. The truck’s black bumpers are in good order, as is the driver’s side-mounted spare tire snug in its black jacket.
Powering this truck is International’s Black Diamond 240 CID inline six-cylinder engine, mated to a four-speed manual transmission and equipped with 4x4 with low and high transfer case and lock out hubs. Referred to as International's All Wheel Drive system.
Inside, the tan vinyl bench seat is in very good shape, while the complementary tan carpet is in good condition. The tan headliner is in good shape while the handsome mid century green and white instrument metal instrument panel is in very good condition, too. The green and white inner door panels complement the dashboard and look good. The original four-spoke steering wheel is in good condition, as is the mirror glass. The horn, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, speedometer and odometer are inoperable. This is a radio delete model.
The International A-Series (or A-line) replaced the S-Series in April 1957. The name stood for "Anniversary", as 1957 marked the 50th or golden anniversary of truck production by International-Harvester. It was largely a re-bodied version of the light and medium S-Series truck, incorporating a wide cab and more integrated fenders.
The new lower design necessitated a slight hump in the cabin floor. The stylish new front end, deleted running boards, and panoramic windshield brought the design more up to date for the later half of the fifties on this, the first all-new design to appear since Ted Ornas was put in charge of design in 1953. The hood was now hinged in the rear, rather than being a lift-off unit. The parking lights were mounted above the headlights.
This truck is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows
2,582 miles since restored. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
