The truck division of IH was always profitable.

It was other divisions such as construction machinery (International), farm machinery (Farmall etc.) which struggled later and did mortal harm to IH.

IH also struggled in such diverse areas as garden equipment (Cub Cadet) and gas turbines (Solar)

IH was reborn as Navistar and concentrates on its profitable core business of trucks and diesel engines today.

Rare old trucks.

The CAB OVER style was not very pretty but now are sort after by collectors because of their rarity.

Sold here, in Australia, in very limited numbers

Great to see your video

I love old IH trucks!!!

Read a book called "A Corporate Tragedy- The Agony of International Harvester". IHC made 66 varieties of the S-series alone. Their trucks were NOT all the same, not even close. That was part of their competitive problem. On their assembly line there would be a farm truck, then a highway tractor, then a bus . . . I love these old trucks, though. My dad has a 1962 BC-184.
