Abandoned Icon.

To fully appreciate, see extra large view here

An old IH truck lies neglected in a farm near the Huonville Highway, Tasmania.

IH (International Harvester) is often remembered as a maker of relatively successful and innovative “light” line of vehicles, competing directly against the Big 3. The most common were pick-up trucks. IH made light trucks from 1907 to 1975. The final Light Line truck was made on May 5, 1975.

There are many enthusiast clubs devoted to IH vehicles and I’m sure that they’d like to know about this old girl.

Tasmania is bountiful in such treasures! Looks like she has been left were she stopped running.

I’d be willing to bet that if you put a new battery, new spark plugs, some oil and some gas in this truck that it would start right up. Great photograph, Bev! It works very well with the monochrome.
bidkev replied

Thanks Clark…........yes, it appears that they were very reliable…..........even when left standing for a long time

Glad I stirred some memories Lorraine. Thanks for the compliment on the processing…...especially as it is coming from one who is a master.
