caption_attribution_description: English: 1959 International B-120 3/4 ton flatbed truck finished in red.
context_page_description: The International A series replaced the S series in April 1957. The name stood for "Anniversary", as 1957 marked the fiftieth anniversary of truck production by International Harvester. It was largely a rebodied version of the light and medium S-series truck, incorporating a wide cab and more integrated fenders. A modified version of this truck range was also built in Australia until 1979, where it was marketed both as an International and as a Dodge.
context_section_description: For 1959, the B series replaced the A series. This was the first of the series to feature V8 engines as an option, of either 304 ci or 345 ci. The usual engines were International's 'Diamond' series of inline-sixes. The B series had twin headlights, mounted above each other. The B-120 was also available with four-wheel drive. The B series was available with the same weight ratings as its predecessor, and was built until 1961 when more thorough changes took place, and the truck became known as the C series.
