1948 International Harvester KB-2

The distinctive 1948 International Harvester KB-2 is a rugged and historic vehicle, hailing from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's Grounds Department where it served as an industrious work truck until its acquisition by the previous owner in 1962. After four decades of storage, this vintage find has resurfaced just recently, presenting enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to own a piece of American truck history. Manufactured circa the post-WWII era, this KB-2 model is powered by a robust inline-six engine, coupled with a four-speed manual transmission and a two-speed rear axle, enabling it for off-grid adventures. Its sturdy, all-steel construction showcases original details such as a slatted wooden bed floor and classic metal wheels, adorned with wide whitewall tires to complete the timeless truck aesthetic. Painted in an understated dark green finish, this 1948 International Harvester KB-2 stands ready for its next chapter, whether that's restoration or continued use as an appreciable workhorse. Currently located in Champaign, Illinois.
