International Trucks, formally known as Navistar International Cooperation, traces its roots back to the turn of the 20th century and the International Harvester Company (IHC). IHC dealt with agricultural and construction equipment, automobiles, commercial trucks, lawn and garden products, household equipment, and of course, the International Harvester tractors. In the mid-1980s, after multiple mergers, IHC sold the International Harvester name, and the remaining truck and engine divisions, and laid the foundation for the renamed Navistar International Corporation.
