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.
