Hugh, as an International truck guy, I can tell you that the D-series trucks were still in production in 1939 and '40...so my guess is that, corporate-wise, D was already in use. In 1950 the L-series truck debuted, and since the M tractor was still in production in '53, the truck division christened their '53 model the R-series. I figure they skipped N because that letter was already associated with Ford tractors, O was already in use for orchard tractors, and nobody getting their truck serviced would "take a P" to the dealer...which left R as the next truck series.

Not sure if that's how they thought, but it's as logical as anything IH ever did.
