1942 International-Harvester M-1-4 Ambulance

The International-Harvester M-1-4 is a 1/2-ton truck that was introduced in 1941 and was used exclusively by the United States Navy and Marine Corps. This example from 1942 is a field ambulance with a collapsible ambulance body built by the Boyertown Auto Body Works of Boyertown, Pennsylvania. One of the very few survivors of the nearly 900 built, it is now displayed at the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles. The M-4-1 was also available as a cargo truck with removeable troop seats and sometimes fitted with a canvas top. It was replaced in 1942 by the 1-ton M-2-4, which was nearly identical in appearance.
