The distinction between car and light truck wasn't important until
CAFE came along and established different fuel

BZZZT! Wrong! 266 and 304 are IH engines. The 345 and the
392 are big block IH engines. The 392 4 barrel is a powerful torquey
engine.
True. I forgot about the 2wd independent front pickups/travellalls. I
never really dealt with them.

I think you're right. Weren't power brakes added about that time? I've
heard the power brake booster was added primarily so they could certify
it as a 1 ton vehicle.

I think PB first showed up with the Bay Window vans in '68, or
possibly in '71 when they first were offered with front disc brakes.
I do know my '67 Split Window didn't have PB.

Heard of these but never seen one for sale before. Doesn't look bad
several times. Uncle Pat
got sick about that time so it was sold but he swore he'd get the IH back and
fix the rust since it was a much better truck.

The Nissan diesel was available for many years. Diesel Scouts are getting
rare because of the high repair costs, combined with diesel
ignorance. Most of the remaining Diesels have been converted to gas 345

I guess that would be a 280ZXD, a 280ZDX or a 280DZX. That would be quite
unique although a bit slower than the gasser with only 80HP to move it
around. Better yet, drop a 603.96X in
