1968 International Crew Cab
Permalink  

I have been looking for one of these for years, there are a lot of shortbeds out there but not many longbeds. I bought this 1968 International 1200C Travelette Campermobile last May, it came from an estate in Colfax, Wa.. The truck has 47000 original miles on it, 345 V8 4 speed and a 4:56 Power Lock rear.

I got a 5 speed OD out of another 68 pickup that might find its way into this one...

The guy that bought the truck out of the estate said there was a 1969 Bell 10 1/2ft camper stored in the same building that still had the plastic covers on all the upholstery and the knobs on the cabinets. I tried to find the camper but it was auctioned off with the rest of the estate.

This picture was taken when the truck was found. Apparently the building had not been opened in 10+ years.

I remember periodically riding with dad in a borrowed associate's 1968 International 1010 pickup (high GVW ½ ton). Dad also had a hunting buddy with an engineering business that owned one of those shortbox crewcab International pickups (I think it was a 66 because of the grille).

Here's a picture of a truck like yours from a 1968 International brochure I have:

Just 2 inches shy of a 14 foot wheel base, Wow that's as wide as a bed room!

Could that truck be any more solid, mint and original. Wow that is really impressive. Real sweet ride there brother. I think it has gone to a real good home. Please some shots of the motor on this beautiful beast. Cheers. George.

What they used to say about International pickups: "they're not pretty but they're hell for stout!". I think your truck is gorgeous, as in a great example in fantastic shape. A rarity today for sure!

Notice the cab. It is the same cab used on the medium duty Loadstar trucks mid 1957 through 1977 and the heavy Fleetstar A series 1963 - 1971. Pickups used that cab 1957 - 1968.

As they used to say, give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around!

I guess you won't be going into any underground parking garages with it!
