I was a service manager at a Light -Medium IH dealership 78-79 The PU were just plain reliable. We rarely saw them back in the service department. We had no body shop, so the rust was not showing up at the service bay except for a few that had us do oil and lube on the first 3 or 4 scheduled service. The medium duty were problematic in that IH sourced parts from axles to ignition from several sources. Without a build ticket (line setting Ticket) in the glove box, they were painful. I have two friends that have them. One is building a nice hotrod, the other is basically stock other than charging system. The stocker is rust free and quite original Never outside in salt (in Minnesota, that was a city decision, never used to feed). The hot rod had bad rust. it is being fabricated by hand due to ZERO body parts, and even scavenged parts are rusted nearly as bad as the ones being replaced. Headlight areas of the fenders, tailgate, the entire bed, and rockers have been fabricated to OEM or better standards. It will be a big block Chevy with a built automatic. Jim
