Hi, I was wondering if anyone might know how many International 1 ton's were made in the D series. Are these rare trucks? How much is one in good shape, but unrestored worth?

Thanks

What model is it- D-? -Stickman207

In 1940 there were 73 variations on the D model. Page 156 of INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS by Fred W. Crismon.

I'm not sure what model it is. All I know is that it is a one ton. It looks like a regular d series with duals and a flatbed.

In 1940, IHC built 92,085 D series trucks. These numbers were built between January and December of 1940. I have tried to attach a picture of the production numbers. I hope this is readable.
Here is the thing. Rarity is nice, but this brings a greater difficulty of finding parts. When a greater number of a model are built, it is reasonable that a greater number will survive. Since there are no reproduction parts, one must rely on another truck being sacrificed to put life into a similar model. If you have a "one off", think about it, where will the parts come from? Can you say panel beater? Just about any fender or body panel can be reproduced with an English Wheel and a Yoder Hammer. but it could cost thousands of dollars for one piece. One of the body shop guys I had the pleasure of working with has the above tools and in his retirement does custom panel beating. He only charges $150 per hour for his time and the materials are extra. He is crazy busy.
When he and I were still working together, I built a custom side-cabinet for his toolbox. The adjustable shelves were built around the dimensions of his tools. The top roll out shelf and cord retractor were for his espresso, cappuccino maker.
Anyone with anything more than a passing interest in these IHC truck should drop a few dollars for a copy of the book I pictured in a previous post. http://www.books4cars.com/

I have that book and agree that it is an excellent resource. The first place to look when trying to figure out what version of the D series on has is the ID tag. If we could see pictures, maybe we could help. The only smaller D models I am familiar with are the D-2 (1/2 ton); D-15 (3/4 ton) and D-30 ( 1 1/2 ton). Maybe the D-15 became a 1 ton with the addition of springs?- Stickman207

I'm not sure what model it is. I was just told it was a one ton, and it looks like a slightly larger D series with a flat bed.

It is actually a D 15. Is this still a one ton, or a 3/4? Could a 3/4 ton be a dually?

There was a 39 D15 3/4 ton dually sitting next to my D30 in the treeline.

In 1940, IHC made a D2, D3, D5 and the D15 plus more models. The USA plant made 8,913 D15 and the Canada plane made 1,067. Page 157 in the Fred Crismon book.
I do know if my reasoning is correct, but assuming the D2 is a 1/2 ton, The D3 is a 3/4 ton and the D5 is a one ton, maybe the D15 might be a 1 1/2 ton.
