Easily one of the most beautiful Binders that has graced our showroom recently, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1953 International R112 ton pickup truck. Professionally restored by Prescott Hot Rods of Prescott, Arizona, this Binder is finished in stunning Door County Green.

This truck was originally made between January and November 1953 in Internationals Chicago, Illinois factory. Beneath that exquisite bright green paint are multiple areas with Rhino Liner installed for sound absorption. The paint and black trim are in excellent order, as are the trucks lights and windows and you would expect from a professional restoration, the trucks bodywork is straight and solid.

The truck features a ComfoVision cab, an allsteel one that seats three people with a onepiece, curved Sweepsight windshield for a nonobstructed front view. The truck has twin rear windows along with a curved contour instrument panel.

The engine bay is extremely tidy, as is the cargo bed, complete with dual, locking compartments behind the cab. On the drivers side running board is a jerry can that matches the trim and a spare tire hangs on the passenger side of the cargo bed. The trucks black bumpers are in matching condition to the rest of the body.

This Binder rolls on General Grabber radials, size 235/70R16 tires mounted on black steel wheels with factory wheel covers, including the spare tire. The tires and wheels are all in excellent condition.

Under the onepiece hood that can be opened from either side is Internationals 220 CID Silver Diamond straight sixcylinder engine. New stellitefaced sloroto exhaust valves rotated during operation. Exhaustvalve seats are of longlasting durachrome, a high chromenickel content metal that insures more efficient valve operation for a longer period of time. Carburetion is new too; the visibleflow carburetor featuring a fastidle cam that speeds engine warmup, contributing to greater fuel economy.

Other features of the Silver Diamond engine included a new ceramicfilter fuel pump engineered to prevent vapor lock; hotter spark plugs to minimize carbon formation; a widelobe camshaft that lengthens the life of camshaft and tappets and a capsuletype thermostat that is unaffected by water pressure, assuring faster engine warmup and positive maintenance of proper operating temperature. The engine rested on three rubber mounting points, called Buoyant Power Engine Mounting. International claimed a smoother, quieter power flow and longer engine life as well as fewer engine noise and vibrations transmitted to the cab and frame.

Inside, the cab has been refreshed, too. The tan bench seat is in excellent shape while he contrasting black carpet is in very good order. The headliner matches the shade of the seat and is in identical condition. A black, threespoke steering wheel faces the driver and looks fantastic. The green over tan instrument panel features full instrumentation and it looks fantastic, as do the inner door liners. Rounding out the interior is an AllFreshAir heater and an Alpine AM/FM stereo with CD player.

While International may have been the last to offer an allnew postwar pickup, its tardiness ensured it was the most advanced of the new trucks. It was truly an allnew truck, from the wide threeman width ComfoVision cab with twopiece rear window, to the onepiece left or rightside opening hood (just like Buicks), and the Silver Diamond engine tucked underneath. Upon its introduction in 1950, it was the only pickup to have an allinsert bearing, a fully pressured oil system and an overhead valve engine.

While Internationals line of LSeries pickup didnt lack in engineering, some argued that it was want for looks. The trucks sides were rounded in a fashion similar to its contemporaries, but the grille was generally panned as being too complex looking. Cleaning things up was part of the job of the revised RSeries trucks, which were introduced in late 1953 and a few subtle refinements along with a more refined grille highlights of the new release.

Documentation includes original owners manual plus books and a CD related to the trucks stereo system.

Competition to this Binder in 1953 includes Chevrolets 3100 Advance Design, Dodges Bseries truck, Fords F100 and GMCs New Design trucks.

This gorgeous truck needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated, so please visit MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to examine it.
