| International Pick-Ups - Version 2 |
The next iteration of the International pick-up
came in about 1951. Some of the earliest trucks
still carried the "triple diamond" door decals.
Later editions used the bolder IH decals.
It is uncertain which colors appeared first. Earlier
literature shows the salmon and green trucks,
with the yellow color first appearing in 1954 as a
motorized toy.
A change in the chemical nature of the plastic
resulted in warped bodies on many of these
trucks.

This yellow example features a friction-drive motor hidden beneath the hood. This truck was first
introduced in 1954. It is possible that yellow pick-ups were made without the "motorized" feature.
