1967 International Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1967 International Vibe

While the rest of the world was busy with the "Summer of Love," the 1967 International Harvester was busy doing actual work. These trucks-from the 1100-series pickups to the heavy-duty Loadstars-were built with a level of industrial grit that would make a modern plastic-bumpered truck blush. Our database captures the essence of that utility with the one color that truly defined the IH work ethic: Beige. It wasn't about being flashy; it was about a finish that could handle a decade of gravel roads and livestock hauling without looking like it had given up on life.

Paint Health Check

Back in '67, we were living in the Single Stage Era. There's no clear coat here to peel or delaminate like a bad sunburn. Instead, you've got thick, honest pigment mixed right into the resin. The Legend is bulletproof, but it has a mortal enemy: Oxidation. If your International has been sitting out in the sun, that Beige probably looks more like a dusty chalkboard than a factory finish. The paint "chalks" because the binders on the surface have dried out, leaving the raw pigment exposed to the elements. If you rub your hand across the hood and it comes away looking like you've been handling drywall, you're looking at a classic case of a dying finish.

Restoration Tip

Because this is single-stage paint, you can actually "bring it back from the dead" in a way you can't with modern finishes. If the paint is original, don't just sand it off. Grab a high-speed buffer and a cutting compound to strip away that oxidized layer; you'll be amazed at the vibrant color hiding underneath. But here's the salty truth: It needs wax or it dies. Without a clear coat to act as a shield, your only defense against the sun is a heavy, consistent coat of high-quality wax. Seal it up after every correction, or you'll be back to "Chalk City" by next summer.
