true, in a given year International made about 1/10 of what GM or Ford cranked out. they just couldnt keep up, many reasons are given for this. they only sold the trucks at international dealerships, and ppl werent used to going to big truck dealerships to buy a pickup or Scout. they had waaay too many models and variations coming off the same ass'y line, which was a nightmare for workers. they would also custom build a truck to a customer's preference, such as the last truck that rolled off the ass'y line...a 1975 model 500 (1-1/2 ton) 4x4 cab and chassis, which was not a catalogued model. too bad international bodies were made of compressed rust, alot of them are rotting away in pastures and such.
