There was once a time when you could buy street vehicles made by a farm equipment manufacturer, and IHC products still show up in self-service wrecking yards today. In this series so far, we've seen this '70 Scout, this '71 Travelall, this '71 Scout, this '72 1010 pickup, this '73 Scout, and this '74 Scout. The crew-cab Travelette is a machine you won't see every day, so I shot this '62 that I spotted in a Northern California wrecking yard.
Being a California truck, there's minimal rust here, but 52 years of hard work have worn everything out.
Here's a good old Black Diamond 240-cubic-inch straight-six, rated at 141 horses in 1962. Yes, that's not much more power than a 2014 Corolla gets; pickup drivers were tougher back when instant annihilation threatened.
Two huge bench seats, and a custom shag-carpet headliner.
I'm a little puzzled by this bumper extension. Is this to protect the open tailgate when hauling extra-long loads?
