Vintage Truck Life: 1968 International 1200C
This next car comes as a tip from Dave in Tampa who writes: I wonder why International never named any of their trucks the Acclaim? Seems obvious, but what do I know? Acclaim, Disaster, Relations, Coffee Day — any of those would have worked, but instead we got the 1200C. Find this 1968 International 1200C offered for $9000 in Port Richey, FL via zuckface sparketbook.

Seller’s Description
1968 International 1200 c was factory propane I converted to gas runs like a dream truck is so solid brand new tires and brakes lost spark as is
See a better way to drive an old truck? tips@dailyturismo.com
Factory propane, huh. Live and learn.
I learned to drive in one of these, well after a Ford 8n.
These came with a truly mind boggling array of options. Solid or independent front suspension? Leaf or coil springs? I think about six transmissions and a bunch of differentials. Want full floating axles or not? They even offered optional track widths, different gas tank locations, cyclone air cleaners. Steering on the left, on the right or both. Actually you could order it in a configuration that was more like a farm tractor with attachments for sprayers and similar stuff.
I wonder what this one has.
These days, you can get an array of options, but they are all digitally activated only if you pay that month for the “option” to use it…
