1948 International Harvester KB2 Pickup Truck.

>> The 1947-1949 International KB-2 pickup evolved from International's K-series pickup trucks introduced in the early 1940s, but old age didn't hinder its ability to work as hard as any postwar rival.
International built its first car in 1907 and its first truck two years later. Over the years, International's triple-diamond logo became widely associated with tough, hard-working vehicles. In 1952, International could still claim that over half the vehicles it ever built were still in service. By 1940, International offered more than 50 different truck models, among them the new K-series pickup line, introduced at mid-year. Typical of the era, Ks sported heavy domed roofs and pointed hoods, but headlamps were integral with the fenders -- a rather modern idea for trucks.
After civilian production resumed in 1947, the K-series evolved into the KB, with only minor changes to the 1947-1949 International KB-2 pickup models, though the barrel-shaped grille now sprouted little "wings" at the bottom.
International stuck with this styling until 1950, which was not the most competitive course in a market where rivals were shedding their prewar designs. Still, the company sold more than 122,000 of the 1/2-ton International KB-1 pickups and 3/4-ton International KB-2 pickups between 1947 and 1949
