Raymond S. sent me some scans recently of a 4-page article printed in the March 1972 issue of Popular Science magazine, in which they compared pickups from Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet and International. I wasn't previously aware of this article, so I'm grateful for these!
Anyway, they're now posted for your review:

nice way to present the facts back in the day. i didnt care for the way they ended the article. but it was a great way to present the facts and let the buyer make up his own mind. there were several facts about our bumps. in the article that i didnt know.

I cant believe I missed these.
I love these old articles.
If you think finding parts for our trucks is hard, try finding them for the International.
I had a buddy give up on an old International truck due to lack of aftermarket support & avalibility of parts......
