My grandfather's Farmall dealership used IH trucks. In the sixties and seveties when I worked there they had two Loadstars, an old 1400 and got a new 1600 around '67, a pickup (I don't remember the model but it had a six cyl. that a mechanic told me was the same engine as the 560), and a two wheel drive Scout(Farmall red, with a white roof).
The 1600 was a huge improvement (the other was really old). We really overloaded everything back then; when we backed an 806 or 1206 with loaded tires onto it the front wheels would come up off the ground.
We used the pickup for service calls, and would deliver Super A's and smaller on a utility trailer behind it.
Dad ran for the state senate in '64. He drove all over the district in the Scout because thought pople would think he snobbish if he was in his Buick.
