International trucks, Canadian variations...

There is a large collection of interesting old International trucks here in Alberta, one they are currently restoring is a heavy commercial example with a rare Rolls-Royce diesel engine, supposed to be one of three examples known to exist, I suspect this is a Canadian variant only... A couple of photos from a contacts Flickr account...

I was able to find this 1959 ad talking about the engine...

Perhaps rather mundane history, but something I find fascinating... :grin:

Very cool old truck though that I've never heard of. Judging from the cab and grill it would have been a V series here in the states. It is very odd for Ih to have used someone else's engines though.
