Some trucks have history, and then there’s this 1968 International Harvester—a true survivor with a story as rugged as the machine itself.
Originally purchased brand new by Noah Ostanik’s uncle, this truck has been in the family for generations. Noah’s dad taught him how to drive it as a kid on the wide-open lands of the Moapa Indian Reservation. But after his uncle passed away, the truck sat neglected for 13 years, tucked away beside his aunt’s house, slowly being reclaimed by the Arizona desert.
When Noah decided to bring it back to life, he had to literally cut it free, buying a chainsaw to hack through mesquite just to reach it. With some heavy winching, he loaded it onto his hauler and set off on the first step of an incredible restoration journey.
The project landed in the hands of Noah’s friends, who run a custom restoration shop in Vermont. They spent over two years meticulously bringing this classic back to its former glory. The result? A stunning, fully restored piece of American truck history.
Now, this beautifully reborn International Harvester is up for grabs. Recently appraised at $68,000, it’s currently listed for $65,000 and he is willing to negotiate.
