i like 67-72's and all, but keeping the 3 door design was behind the times back then. International got 4 doors for their Travelall (Suburban) and Travelette (crew cab) in 1961. Speaking of the Travelette, it was introduced in 1957 models, compared to 73 for GM. Internationals also got an optional 5 speed OD in the late 60's. All these facts probably contribute to why they went out of business, they were just too far ahead of their time.
