1941 KS6 International Firetruck 1 1/2 - 2 ton
Model: KS6-250 International Harvest Co.
Truck last saw service in small town Flensberg MN.
This is a very nice original 1 1/2 - 2 ton that is ready for restoration or ready to go to work. The patina alone is very nice on this truck.
The heavy duty K6 and larger use a center hinged butterfly hood rather than the rear hinged hood of the smaller trucks.
K6 and K7 share the same hood, fenders, and grill and use the smaller Blue Diamond engines.
The driver window and windshield have cracks but are intact.
