[ihc] Last of the Light Lines - Vintage Truck

Binderphiles:

The Feb 2005 issue of Vintage Truck that showed in my mailbox yesterday 
(what, other than magazines, consistently show up 1 1/2 months early?) 
has a couple of IH articles.  There is a nice spread on the last light 
truck manufactured by IH and the last Scout.

The last truck was a white 1975 200 4x4, vin E0350EHB36688.  It was 
produced as a grey cab and chassis and had a utility body added.  It 
currently has a flat bed and still has only 46k on it.  The current 
owner bought it at an auction and only discovered later that it is the 
last of the last.  It has "Last Truck built 5/4/75" inside the back of 
the cab.

The last Scout was a 1970 Scout II, vin K0063KGD23023.  It had air, a 
diesel, and other options.  It was made for a member of the IH Board of 
Directors who used it for hunting.  It looks like it's had a rough life 
but is still running.  Someone wrote "10-20-80 The End" on the 
transmission housing.  It's still a daily driver for someone.

There's also a nice pictoral on a 1973 1310 with a dump body and duals..
