A 1963 International Harvester C-Series pickup truck, found in a Colorado wrecking yard.
Chicago's International Harvester Corporation began selling light trucks in 1907, continuing until the last IHC Scout Terras were built as 1980 models. International pickup production ran through 1975, with postwar models including the K/KB-Series, L-Series, R-Series, S-Series, A/B-Series, C-Series and D-Series. Today's Junkyard Gem is a C-Series half-ton, found in a northeastern Colorado self-service boneyard recently.
The International C-Series truck was built for the 1961 through 1964 model years, and IHC was proud to advertise that it 'hadn't gone soft' like the competition. Since it was 'designed by truck men to do a truck job,' the C-Series could be purchased with 'man-sized' V8 engines. This one has the base 240-cubic-inch pushrod straight-six, though, with its 141 horsepower and 224 pound feet. The transmission is a three-on-the-floor manual.
