It's everything a guy could ever want in a ratty old pickup. Just the fact that it's a 1956 International is good enough. John Wayne would be proud to drive it. Factory four-wheel drive!! (insert cave man noises here). It's got decent tires, some new plugs and other maintenance stuff, and somebody replaced the glass, which is a definite plus. It's a four-speed with a granny gear, twin-stick transfer case, 3/4-ton rear axle ... and the clincher, it's had "65 years of patina" clear coated! We love that! Preserve that patina!
