Was the IH a full size bus, or was it Suburban-sized?

If it's the smaller of the two, I'm guessing that it was a Travelall. I came close to replacing my Scout with a '72 Travelall once, but figured that the fuel mileage would kill me :eek:

IH built some tough pickup trucks! I'm still p/o'ed that they stopped "light" truck production in 1980...my old Scout was built less than a month before they closed the plant. :(

It'd be interesting to see a factory-built IH 4x4 pickup truck with a 6.9l IDI like what I have in my Ford :D

It was Travellall style with three rows of bench seats, double side doors, and a raised roof. I do remember we bought the paint code colors for Greyhound and actually painted the thing like a bus - with the blue stripes that crossed over the roof line. Am thinking that it was owned by the railroad before me. Gas mileage was single digits.
