Vehicle description
This 1953 International Harvester R-132 is powered by its original 220ci Silver Diamond Engine, backed by a heavy-duty, unsynchronized, 4-speed gearbox. It also features a very rare, "ARISTOCRAT" hydraulic flatbed that was manufactured by The Truck Engineering Co., powered by a PTO driven hydraulic pump, manufactured by Blackhawk Mfg. Co. The tilting bed is a very rare factory option, and the controls are seamlessly integrated into the dashboard and cab floor. The tilt bed and hydraulic system works flawlessly! I hauled this truck from a barn in West Virginia about 5 years ago, though I believe the truck was originally owned in Indiana. The truck is all original, other than regular maintenance pieces and paint, and is offered with a clear Virginia title.
Some surface corrosion is present, as visible in the photos, but no major corrosion or rust anywhere. Frame and body are both very solid. Dings and dents can be seen around the body, and the driver side window is cracked. IH R132 - YouTube Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo]
