Car of the Week: 1947 International KB-2 pickup This 1947 International KB-2 pickup has served one family for five generations. When Jeb Bass says he and his 1947 International KB-2 pickup go way back, he's not kidding. On the night of March 27, 1950, another Bass — then-32-year-old Glenn — borrowed this very truck from an uncle to drive his wife, Mary Jane, to a hospital in Shelbyville, Ind. The couple was anxious to reach their destination as fast as possible, because Mary Jane was going into labor. Upon arrival at the hospital, Mary Jane gave birth to a baby boy — James Edgar Bass. The proud parents immediately began calling the child "Jeb" — the acronym of his initials. Some three decades later, the same uncle who loaned the truck to the expectant young couple handed over the truck's title to Jeb — who had no idea of the backstory until his uncle, Edgar Hack, told him about it.
