Re: Vintage 4wd Pictures:Other Makes
IH called their crew cabs Travelettes which I always thought was a funny name. That one looks to be in incredible shape. Very nice.
I'm a diehard GM guy but I find it very interesting to see how other companies designed/engineered their trucks when compared to GM and that's what draws me to these "off brands". Overall, GM had a superior product, but there are little things with other brands I sometimes feel is better then how GM did it. Ford rockers are open at the bottom, had much better designed structural inner fenders, better door latches, and had a very nice riding coil spring/trailing arm front suspension (4x4). IH used beefy door hinges that never wear out. But then you look at the electrical system in a Dodge truck from the same era for example and are reminded of how well GM did a lot of things.
