Established in 1902, International Harvester was one of America's largest manufacturers of agricultural equipment. The Chicago-based company is also famous for the Scout, the small SUV that prompted Ford to build the Bronco, but it also offered a range of light-duty trucks.
International's first truck rolled off the assembly line in 1907, but the light-duty hauling business didn't catch traction until the 1940s when the K series came out. Much like Chevrolet's AK series, the International K was made available in a variety of models.
The K was updated into the KB in 1947, which remained in production until 1949. Popular due to their durability and low price, the K and KB series trucks are now largely forgotten and often abandoned in barns and junkyards. While they're far from expensive, these old KB trucks are definitely hard to find.
The approach was to abstract fully the truck images.
