It showed that no matter how large the company in order to be competitive in the modern automotive industry one needs economy of scale. Despite being a massive company IH couldn't compete with the auto industry.

The Scout was the only small vehicle IH produced; nearly every component was unique to the Scout line from engines to transmissions to interiors. To compare the same 4 cylinder engine in a Ford Ranger was used in the Mustang, Pinto, and T-Bird. The same 3.0 V6 used in the Ranger is used in the Taurus.

Same with the pickups. Ford pickups share(d) engines, transmissions and other components with their car lines, and produced many times more then IH. Building 600,000 390 V8s is cheaper per unit then 90,000 345 V8s.
