1954 International Harvester R112 Ground Up Restoration

1954 International Harvester R112 Description

A Real Attention Getter, 1954 International Harvester R112 Pickup truck with documented mileage and full restoration. This beautiful truck was purchased on 1-29-1954 by Norman Ericson of Buxton North Dakota at Climax Implement Co. of Climax MN. It was lovingly used on and around his farm, the truck only collected around 40k miles until the brakes stopped working sometime in the 1970's it was parked in the barn. Normans neighbor, Keith Estenson purchased the truck in 1982, did a brake job and other needed repairs. In the next 9 years Keith drove the truck around 10k miles, the truck still looking great, his father purchased it from him in 1991 and in 1993 Noel spent tens of thousands of dollars for a complete frame off professional restoration, you see the quality today. This truck comes with documentation including pictures of the truck before & during restoration, bills & recpts, old registrations and application for titles. This is an investor quality vehicle.
I have owned several of these trucks, I hate to part with each one but especially this one because I know I will not find another like it ever. This truck runs and drives amazing holding the road with confidence, braking like a champ and shifting like no-other. This truck has no squeaks or rattles and the engine and exhaust is like a symphony, the paint is stunning, even the paint on the bed bottom, frame and underside. I have found with the IHC's you will not see your self coming down the road, often my trucks are the only ones in the shows I attend. Feel free to send me a note and request to see the truck, it is located north of Boston Ma.

I would expect that the next steward of this incredible truck will want to see it before auction ends and meet me and inspect the extensive documentation. Or at the very least, inspect it all after they have won the auction. I will gladly return a deposit to who ever is disappointed by their purchase.
I will not let this truck go to someone intending on garaging it next to their daily driver and lawn equipment, it deserve better.

I have the original build sheet. The title, and a host of receipts and documentsfrom the 1950's to current showing ownership and proving miles driven.

The fit and finish of the panels & fenders and the quality of the paint and bodywork far exceed what IHC was ever capable of and worthy of any high-end restored vehicle, I guess "over restored" are words that come to mind.
