International B-series (after-1915-1917 Willys Delivery Wagon, 1917-1925 Willys Delivery Wagon, Willys Whippet Truck (1927-1929), Willys-Six C-113 Truck (1930-1932), International Harvester D-1, International Harvester C-1, International Harvester D-2, International Harvester K-1, International Harvester KB-1, International Harvester L-Series, International Harvester R-Series, International Harvester S-100, and International A-100 Series) light and medium-duty models used the same cab as the previous A-series, but were restyled with a new bright mesh grille and vertically-stacked dual headlights. Pickups in the B-line were available with Bonus Load boxes, which were wider inside than the previous wide-body style. The big news for 1959 was the introduction of all-new V8 engines. With its modern overhead-valve V8, International finally caught up with all the other makers of light and medium-duty trucks. International was the only maker to build a small-block V8 specifically for truck duty instead of modifying a passenger car design. The B-100 series was made up of the 4200 lb GVW B-100 model and the 5000 lb B-102. Available engines included the 112-hp Black Diamond 220, the 141-hp Black Diamond 240, and the 155-hp V-266.
