Those old Internationals were a popular pickup with the oil companies back in the 50's. Had an uncle that worked for Milwhite drilling mud back then and they had a whole fleet of International's....big trucks and smaller ones.
Got my yard work done yesterday and today I'm going run errands and maybe go check on the camp at Grand Isle.

Just had a brain fart.. Parked half way in the garage and unloaded the truck, Got my son and carried him in the house ( Broke Leg's Suck) and right before i came in the house i pushed the button to lower the garage door .. Needless to say the door bounced off the top of the truck.. Haven't went out and inspected it yet. Waiting for my blood pressure to drop down a little bit.

I've also done something inversely stupid -- I closed the garage door when the nose of the Cavalier was pulled up a tad too close to the garage door opening and put a rub mark on the "beak" of the bumper. If the car had been even 1/4" further back into the driveway it would have just missed the door as it came down.....
Didn't Plymouth re-badge some Dodge trucks back in the late 70's as well.....??? I want to say they made a Plymouth variation of the "Little Red Wagon" that Dodge had for a few years at the end of the decade, along with a version of the Ramcharger SUV.....???
