International 200 Travelette
The International 200 Travelette was part of International Harvester’s light-duty pickup truck series, specifically within the Light Line models produced from 1969 to 1975. It was a crew-cab pickup, with 1974 marking the discontinuation of the four-wheel drive configuration and a redesign of the front suspension.

Engine: It came standard with a 258 cubic-inch six-cylinder engine, but a 392ci V-8 OHV 4-barrel engine was a popular option. This 392 cubic-inch engine was International’s most potent light-truck engine at the time.
Power and Torque: The 392ci V-8 produced 193 hp at 3,600 rpm (179 hp with single exhaust) and 305 pounds-feet of torque at 2,400-2,800 rpm (297 pounds-feet with single exhaust).
Transmission: It featured a 3-speed automatic, Borg Warner 11 transmission.
Axle and Tires: It utilized a Dana 70 HD rear axle with a 3.73:1 axle ratio and 9.50-16.5, 10-ply tires.
Dimensions: It was a lengthy vehicle, measuring 237.2 inches long (nearly 20 feet), 78.8 inches wide, and 72.8 inches tall. It had a 166-inch wheelbase.
GVW and Curb Weight: The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) was 8,200 lbs, with a base model curb weight of 4,849 lbs.
Features: It had a spacious crew cab that could seat up to six passengers and an 8-foot bed. Other features included a Camper Special package with a rear sway bar and a beefed-up chassis for 1974. It was available with air conditioning.
Value: The value of a 1974 International (IHC) 200 Travelette can vary depending on its condition, mileage, options, and history, but you can typically expect to pay around $11,481 for one in good condition with average specifications.
The Travelette was known for its durability and utilitarian styling, making it popular among ranchers, contractors, and outdoor enthusiasts. It struggled to compete against the more popular pickup trucks from Dodge, Ford, and General Motors. Following the 1973 fuel crisis, sales declined due to the Travelette’s heavier build and less fuel-efficient nature compared to its counterparts. Production of the Travelette ended after the 1975 model year.
