Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this numbers
matching 1956 International Harvester S160. This truck has tons of
potential to be made into a car hauler for taking your collection
from show to show. The International S series is a range of trucks
that was manufactured by International Harvester. Introduced to
consolidate the medium-duty IHC Loadstar and heavy-duty IHC
Fleetstar into a single product range, the S series was slotted
below the Transtar and Paystar Class 8 conventionals. The IHC S
series was produced in several variants for a wide variety of
applications, including straight trucks, semi tractors, vocational
trucks, and severe-service trucks. Additionally, the S series was
produced in other body configurations, including a four-door crew
cab, cutaway cab, cowled chassis, and a stripped chassis (primarily
for school buses). The chassis was produced with both gasoline and
diesel powertrains (the latter exclusively after 1986), single or
tandem rear axles, and two, four, or, six-wheel drive layouts. The
last complete product line designed within the existence of
International Harvester, the S series was produced in its original
form through 1989. To reflect the change to Navistar, a major
facelift updated the exterior and interior of many models, which
were produced through 2001. As a replacement for the S series,
Navistar introduced the 4000 series and 7000 series. This truck is
getting more and more rare as time goes on. Even harder to find it
one with only 52k actual miles on its numbers matching drivetrain
that still runs strong like this 56 does. The inline 6-cylinder
gasoline engine is producing 236 HP from the factory and is paired
to a 4-speed manual transmission. The interior has seen some
attention on its bench seat that is wrapped in two tone tan and
black vinyl. Painted in red from the factory and kept original
which really shows its style with age and vintage look. All the cab
lights are still intact and look great. Do not let this rare truck
slip through your fingers, picture the restored truck with your
favorite classic on the back of it! This 1956 International
Harvester S160 is for sale in our Tampa Showroom and can be viewed
