This unique International pickup truck blends classic 1950s styling with modern drivability, creating a truck that looks vintage but is far more comfortable and reliable on today's roads. Built using a later-model Ford truck chassis and driveline, this 1954 International R100 combines timeless design with proven Ford mechanicals for the best of both worlds.
Power comes from the dependable Ford 300 4.9L ""Big Six"" inline-six, one of the most respected truck engines ever produced. Known for its durability and low-end torque, the legendary straight-six is paired with a Borg-Warner T18 4-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9-inch rear end equipped with highway-friendly gearing. The result is a vintage pickup that is equally comfortable cruising local roads or heading out on longer trips.
Finished in eye-catching Wild Berry Pearl with gold accent stripes, this truck stands apart from the crowd. Full-length running boards, a beautiful wood bed floor, and body-colored 15-inch steel wheels with chrome trim rings and caps preserve the classic appearance that makes these trucks so desirable.
Inside, the custom tan cloth and vinyl interior offers a comfortable place to spend time behind the wheel. Power steering and power brakes provide a driving experience that feels far more modern than a traditional 1950s truck, making this antique pickup for sale easy to enjoy regardless of experience level.
Mounted on a late-1980s Ford chassis, this custom build benefits from improved ride quality, handling, and serviceability while retaining the unmistakable character of an International pickup. It is an excellent choice for enthusiasts who appreciate classic styling but want a truck they can confidently drive and enjoy. This 1954 International R100 offers standout looks, dependable Ford power, and thoughtful upgrades that make it far more usable than a stock truck from the era!
