I got educated on IH trucks 40 years ago. I traded some cattle for a 1965 IH 1800 tandem loadstar truck. This would have been around 1978-80. Truck was supper clean with a 24 ft. grain box on it. It had the IH 345 motor in it. I knew it had a Delco distributor and a Holly carb. I happened to be in Cedar Rapids and remembered that it needed a set of points. Stopped at the IH dealership. Even knowing what engine, distributor, and what carburetor left SEVEN choices of point that it could have. Without knowing what brand of distributor and carburetor there were 28 different sets of point could have been on a 345 motor in that size and year of truck. WHAT the heck!!!!!! Without the line setting ticket in hand you had zero changed of getting the correct parts for that truck. No wonder IH went broke.
I kept it a few years and got rid of it. Just too hard to repair. I bought a Ford 8000 with the tilt hood and kept it for over 20 years.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
