The International Harvester Travelall is a full-size, truck-based sport utility vehicle that was manufactured by International Harvester from 1953 to 1975. With a layout similar to the Chevrolet Suburban, it is a precursor to the modern full-size SUV.
International Harvester introduced a new line of trucks, the R Series, in 1953. Included was the 115-inch-wheelbase Travelall, a panel truck equipped with side windows and either two or three rows of passenger seats. Side-opening "barn" style cargo doors were standard, with a tailgate available as an option.
A Travelall name badge was mounted on the front cowl directly below the International name badge. A few L-Series trucks were also produced with windows and seats in 1952, but whether the Travelall name was used that year is unknown. Prior to 1952, International station wagon type vehicles were mainly woodies, having wooden bodies produced by outside companies. A few K-Series panels in the latter 1940s were built with windows and seats and used by airlines to move people at airports. The Travelall name continued to be used for station wagon versions of the succeeding S-line, A-line, and B-line pickup trucks.
The 1953 through 1957 Travelalls (R and S-series) had two passenger doors. The S-series was available as the S-110 or heavier duty S-120, which was also available with four-wheel drive. All shared the same 115 inches (2,921 mm) wheelbase and 131 hp (98 kW) inline-six engine. Access to the rear seats in the two-door Travelalls was gained by flipping up the passenger side of the front seat. Four-wheel drive was available as an option on Travelalls beginning in 1956.
Introduced in 1957 for the 1958 model year, the A-series (for "Anniversary", marking fifty years of International Harvester truck production) offered a 2nd passenger side door for improved access to the rear seats. Models A-100, 110, and 120 came with 113 to 154 hp (84 to 115 kW) six-cylinder engines, with four-wheel drive optional on the A-120. The design changes paralleled those of the A-series pickups. The lightly modified B-series appeared in 1959 and ran just through 1960.
