What’s special about this listing
- Ford 289ci V8 swap with Borg Warner T-10 4-speed manual transmission - a rare and desirable powertrain combination for a 1939 work truck
- 12-volt electrical system conversion using Highway 15 wiring harness - modern reliability while maintaining classic aesthetics
- California car with clean title and no rust history - rare for a pre-war truck of this vintage
- Less than 200 miles driven since restoration work completed in 2011 - minimal use preserves the resto-mod condition
- Authentic wood flatbed with stake sides and tan over black fenders - retains classic International D-Series work truck character
- Art Deco-influenced styling from the 1937-1939 D-Series - a significant step forward in truck design with hydraulic brakes (first for D-Series)
- Comparable modified International trucks have sold in the $10,015-$35,671 range. See the International Harvester market →
