Pickups and SUVs were their lightest line of vehicles, same as GMC.
Yeah, that's what my stepdad had: 1971 3/4 ton 4x4 with 345 and 4 speed. I should have bought it in the 1990s but I was in the middle of going back to college mid-life.

I knew another logger in CO that had a 1950-something 2 ton IH. He needed a new clutch and at the parts store they asked him "is that an early, mid, or late 1956?"
