I confess my love for the IH 4wds from the same era GM Trucks I've been into.

Looking back, I'm pretty sad that I couldn't/didn't buy my stepdad's 71 IH when he was selling it in the mid-1990s
It was 3/4 ton 4x4 with 345 and 4 speed, and had an 8' cab-over on it so it hadn't been worked to death. But I had gotten sick and was going back to school and had no money or use for it at the time. I even sold my 1965 C/10 short stepside about that time.
I've been looking all over for a picture of the Dodge W/300 that our VFD used to have, but I can't find it. Probably on a hard drive from a dead PC. It was a real beast that could go anywhere and just push stuff out of the way. But the steering was bad and you didn't want to drive it very far on the highway. But instead of fixing it the state traded it out for a new F-550. The power wagon
might have gone to a ranch or Hoot Colony for a while.
