We IH Scout owners might differ on that opinion, FRiend...
We had an International Travelall. It was what I learned to drive on. It was a probably a 1975. Straight 6 tractor engine in (400 cu in I think). My dad was a farmer from WNY. He was a IH man. No John Deere crap on our property. We had a 1950’s Farmall Super H. A 1968 Cub Cadet. He bought the Travelall for pulling a camper trailer.
My oldest brother rolled the Travelall with 2 buddies/Literally 360. It was slightly dented. No major body damage. They all walked away. He then hit a deer with it. It broke the passenger side headlight and bent the grill. Killed the deer. The thing was a beast. I remember the brakes were really touchy. It got about 8 miles/gallon. The Travellall was not 4WD drive like the Scout. The Scout were a tough rig. I forgot about those.
My best friend had a 1970’s Toyota Landcruiser. It had a GM 350 engine in it. Much better vehicle IMHO than a Jeep.
After that he had K5 Blazer. We would take the back top off of it and leave the doors on in the summer. It was like a convertible 4WD pick up truck then. Fun to drive around in the summer except when it rained.
Don,
This is what we had except it was not jacked up like this one. Same color with the fake wood on the sides.
