International Harvester 1300B Data Plate - Serial Number, HP & GVW Specs

This is a photograph of the riveted/screwed-on data specification plate from an International Harvester Company truck, manufactured in Chicago, Illinois. The plate is mounted upside down relative to the camera but is legible when inverted. It identifies the vehicle as Model 1300B with serial number 71301H755939 and a 134-inch wheelbase (W.B. 134). The plate lists certified engine ratings: certified net horsepower of 142.5 at 4400 RPM and certified gross horsepower of 154.8 at 4400 RPM. The maximum gross vehicle weight (Max. G.V.W.) is stamped as 7000 lbs; the maximum gross combined weight (Max. G.C.W.) field is left blank. A warranty statement at the bottom reads: 'Warranty void if above weight is exceeded except as restricted by tires and springs.' From this plate a reader can confirm the truck's model designation, serial number, wheelbase, factory horsepower ratings, and GVW rating — useful for registration, parts lookup, and verifying originality. Note the plate identifies a 1300B truck (a one-ton IH pickup/chassis model), not a Scout II as claimed in the upload.
