IH had the first factory built crew cab in 1957 it was a 3 door model. They were build before that but by a third party, similar to other manufactures. In 1961 they had the first factory made 4dr truck. These models they called Travelette. The SUV were Travelall. Now IH also had another first the Wagonmaster. Its pictured below this beat the Chevy Avalanche buy some 30yrs!
IH was well ahead of there time. The Travelette aren't all to rare. The Wagonmaster is very rare as it was only made for a few years.

I still remember we had to carry a ball peen hammer with us and tap on the carb once in a while. Must have had a sticky float or needle valve.

Normally these things will vapor lock with a carb. The problem is the motor is so big that it fills the engine bay and under hood temps get hot and carb would get hot and vapor lock. Mine did it bad when I got it swapp'ed to EFI and no trouble now.
