1956 International S-120 Diamonds & Rust



"We stumbled on a vintage truck show in Taos, waypoint on our drive home to LA. Mostly souped up and ugly ones not worthy of autoliterate. but there were two terrific 50s International trucks, this one was my favorite. I'll send photos of the second separately.
"1956 International S-120 series. Local owner Evan Earl bought it or bartered for it from someone he was working for here in town. It had been abandoned, outdoors - probably most of its 50+ year existence. He got the wheels turning and then the engine running with minimal work. Original engine. Original paint (what's left) and only surface rust.

"I want this truck." --Craig Manning

p.s. another International
