1936 International IH-35 Flatbed Truck
$100,000 comprehensive restoration completed by Nashville International dealer
About This Vehicle
The history of International Harvester dates back to the 1830s, when Virginia inventor Cyrus McCormick patented his horse-drawn reaper. P. Morgan himself — to create the International Harvester Company, valued at $150 million.
IH trucks became known for their reliability, strength, and ruggedness. This 1936 International Harvester IH-35 Flatbed dually truck was completely restored to a reported cost of $100,000 by a Nashville-based International dealer, making it among the finest IH-35s available. The open bed and floorboard are inlaid with beautiful mahogany, finely varnished.
Other features include a new black leather vinyl bench seat in the cabin. Mechanically, this example sports a rebuilt 298-cubic-inch inline six-cylinder, five-speed manual transmission, and upgraded 12-volt electrical system. A lovely reminder of what a full-purpose work truck looked like in the 1930s.
