I had the pleasure of seeing this 1957 S series 3/4t truck the other day. The client found my shop and wants to rehab this family owned since new truck. Under that seat cover is the original plastic protected factory seat.

I’ll add more details when time allows.

looks like he paid for all the options, passenger arm rest and visor, radio, interior rear view mirror, padded door panels.

does it have the deluxe fresh air heater? is engine upgraded from a 220?

When I bring it in for the work he wants done, I will take more pics. It really is a treasure.

Some of the options that I noticed:
The speaker in the headliner, 2 visors, 2 arm rests, yes it does have the fresh air heater,
Dual door locks, chrome front bumper, brush guard, factory turn signals, SD240 engine, T15 trans, 11” clutch, overload springs…

Reading through the correspondences to the dealer they had to remove the grille and send it out to be chromed as they couldn’t provide one from the factory.

Awesome truck! Thanks for sharing the pic's and am looking forward to more. Goes a long way to documenting an original IH . The dealer supplied chrome grill you mentioned is such a cool detail. Thanks Jake!

Wow! I've only ran into very few trucks with all the options picked up by the buyer,

my KB-1 panel didn't even have a heater installed from factory, California truck, pay $30 for a heater? are you outta your mind?
