International Scout 1937

General description : VERY RARE INTERNATIONAL TRUCK/ROD, STEEL BODY, 350 V8, CUSTOM PAINT/INTERIOR!!

This 1937 International pickup truck is one impressive hauler. It's beautifully finished, of course, but the longer you look, the more details you'll find to delight the eye. That's the true hallmark of a quality rod, and this one delivers in more than one way.
The body is original steel, and the hard part was finding one, never mind refinishing it to this level. OK, the fenders are 'glass, and I like that full-fendered look a great deal. Working with quality materials also makes it easy to achieve spectacular results, so you'll note how well it fits together, with doors that fit flush and no worries about previous repairs or damage coming back to haunt you. This sucker's extremely nice and keeps to the stock look for the most part. The light yellow paint lets the shape do most of the talking, working in harmony instead of as a solo, and the modifications are minimal: removable hood sides, 1937 Chevy taillights, and shaved bumpers. Trick bumperettes offer a modicum of protection for the front fenders, a custom rear pan makes the rear end look finished, and without a few pinstripes, it just wouldn't be a custom. In the bed you'll find gorgeous honey-stained wood whose deep, rich color contrasts beautifully the bodywork, putting a neat twist on an old favorite. And with that tilt-up bed cover it's weatherproof, making this a great truck for long-hauls.
Tan leather upholstery works well inside and the combination of leather and patterns makes it feel far more upscale than it was in 1937. All the soft parts were custom stitched for just this truck, including the headliner and neat-fitting floor mats which are bound in leather themselves. A slightly renovated dashboard carries the retro-styled Auto Meter instruments and a custom fabricated lower panel houses controls and vents for the powerful A/C system. You'll also appreciate the overhead console and a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo that fills the cab with sound. A tilt steering column with a custom leather-wrapped wheel makes it surprisingly easy for just about anyone to slide into the driver's seat. Built for comfort and easily capable of long-distance hauls, they didn't forget to also make it beautiful inside. Guys in the 1930s would have killed for something this luxurious.
For reliability and performance, it's hard to beat a small-block Chevy powerplant. The 350 cubic inch V8 fits nicely under the International's rounded hood and is dressed up with all the familiar gear like an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and polished intake manifold, chrome accessories tucked in tight to the block, and a few shiny bits that are designed to be seen when the hood sides are off. The firewall was custom made to accommodate the Chevy's rear-mounted distributor, with form following function in a very trick way, and there's massive cooling available from the radiator up front. It's backed by a TH350 3-speed automatic and a 12-bolt rear end, and it rightfully shows a few signs of use; who wouldn't take this one out on the road? The front suspension is from a '72 Nova, so you get disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering, while the dual exhaust system has the right mellow hot rod tone but hushes on the highway. Thanks to a set of pretty Billet Specialties and staggered Goodyear rubber, this cool little truck has the perfect hot rod stance.
A beautifully finished hauler that's totally sorted and ready to cruise. Call today!

About International
Let's delve into the history of International Harvester (IH), a renowned American company known for its trucks and agricultural equipment, and explore different models in a narrative way.

The Foundation of International Harvester:
International Harvester, often abbreviated as IH, was established in 1902 through the merger of several smaller companies, including the McCormick Harvesting Machine Company, Deering Harvester Company, and several others. The newly formed company aimed to become a major player in the agricultural and industrial machinery sectors.

Early Focus on Farm Equipment:
Initially, International Harvester concentrated on producing agricultural equipment, such as tractors, harvesters, and plows. The company's Farmall tractor line, introduced in the 1920s, was a significant milestone. These tractors were versatile and affordable, playing a crucial role in revolutionizing farming practices in the United States and beyond.

International Trucks:
In the 20th century, International Harvester expanded its product offerings by venturing into the truck manufacturing business. International trucks quickly gained a reputation for their durability and reliability, making them a staple for commercial applications, from delivery vehicles to heavy-duty workhorses. The Scout, a compact SUV introduced in the 1960s, became a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts.

Growth and Evolution:
International Harvester continued to grow and diversify its product range. The company produced a variety of truck models, from small pickup trucks to heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The Loadstar and the Travelall are notable examples of popular International truck models from the mid-20th century.

Challenges and Transformation:
In the 1970s, International Harvester faced financial challenges, including a downturn in the agricultural market and increased competition in the truck industry. As a response, the company underwent significant changes. It rebranded its truck division as Navistar International Corporation, focusing on truck manufacturing and engine production, while its agricultural equipment business was spun off into the Case Corporation, forming Case IH.

Legacy and Modern Times:
The International Harvester name, synonymous with rugged trucks and farm equipment, continues to live on in the hearts of many enthusiasts. International trucks are still found on the road, with a strong presence in the commercial vehicle sector. Navistar International Corporation continues to be a significant player in the truck manufacturing industry, adapting to the changing landscape with advancements in technology, environmental concerns, and customer needs.

International Harvester's history is a story of innovation and adaptability in the face of challenges, reflecting its legacy of producing reliable vehicles and equipment that have played pivotal roles in American agriculture and transportation
