I might be enjoying my victory a bit too much. :3

Anyways, you nailed the brand on the head. It's the 60-something to 70-something probably Australian exclusive International Harvester CM-1300. There may genuinely be less than a 100 pictures of this. More than I first thought though since it's on IMCDB. I shall now give you pictures

Perhaps 64 was the first year? Also this grill is different than the rest of them.

Pictures pulled from https://www.imcdb.org/v031886.html

According to one of the comments there the Harvester part of International Harvester was dropped pretty early on. Maybe that's when the grill changed?

This is an picture you can buy on redbubble for 17.75. It's on sale right now though!: https://www.redbubble.com/i/poster/Old-Delivery-Van-Salvage-Yard-by-hebphoto/23014547.LVTDI

This was for sale. It was listed as a C1200, the examples above seem to all be CM-1300s. https://www.justcars.com.au/cars-for-sale/1971-international-c1200-step-van/JCW5243255

There IS a strangely big gap in the badge there... perhaps a M fell off at some point? This listing also gives us an interior shot.

Love it. Also did you notice the top light display thing magically changed in those last two pictures?

Finally, the coolest picture, and the first one I found, this one being raced at a motorkhana: https://www.shannons.com.au/club/enthusiasts/wojo12/garage/1969-international-harvester-cm1300-metrovan/

There's a bit of interesting information on that page, too. Apparently 4WD conversions are easy if you know what you're doing. I know there are a few food truck listings of this out there too but I can't be bother to hound them down again. Anyways I love this van.

Wish we had more info...

Love this blog! As thanks I give you what I think is the world's most obscure step-van in the world. As a challenge! Have fun!

If you want to gander at it more, this is from the music video for Men At Work's Everything I Need.

P.S: Yes, I do know know what this is.

thanks! wow that’s a sick van, love men at work too. i admittedly don’t really know step vans and especially not ones that were in the australian market in the 80s. my best guess is something from International or IHC, but i honestly don’t even know if they had those in australia!

i think you’ve bested me haha, would love to know what it is!

Finally cleared out the Metro. Started stripping off the wall and floor panels to get ready to swap out the chassis. Trying to cut out as little as possible to keep as much of the original interior intact. Hoping for a roller in the coming weeks. #AlchemyMotorycycles #IHMetro #InternationalHarvester #MetroVan #RaymondLoewy #BaggedShopVan #MotorcycleHauler (at San Diego, California)
