Pristine vintage 1968 International a family heirloom

John Kavanaugh's 1968 International 190

This 1968 International 190 was the first truck of Kavanaugh Feed and Trucking out of Carroll, Nebraska. The truck's current owner, John Kavanaugh, rode with his father hauling livestock in the truck growing up. The rig is powered by an International 549 motor with a 5-speed and a 2-speed rear end.

"If ya had to pee, you did it going uphill and stepped out on the running board," Kavanaugh said. "He said he didn't want to have to get it wound up again."

Kavanaugh has made a ramp truck out of the rig and now takes it to truck shows.
