I have seen this truck a couple of  times, but before I got the International
"bug"!

I did not recognize it as International, but I'll go take another look.  If I
remember right, the doors were activated by hydralics which pushed the panels
straight out from the vehicle.  The purpose of this was to push away pesky
Rhinos or elephants that could be in the way.  Might be an interesting idea
for those tight parking spots.
