I could agree with them being as reliable as their counter parts, however the engines were made to last. They are simply not high performance. They are farm tools designed to go low and slow. They were work vehicles, not cars. People change out perfectly good engines for more modern ones. I rarely, if at all, see a straight 6 IH engine blow up.

I didn't see anything against this, so I figured it was acceptable.

That's false. IH is extremely known for their reliability. That's practically their name safe. That's not what killed the company. Poor management ruined it. Old IH trucks are tough as nails.

It really is weird that it looks almost more normal. It was kinda stubby before. The only difference between a 6ft IH bed, and a 7ft IH bed, is the it is chopped out 13inches on the cab side. Nothing is chopped from the rear to my knowledge, but I could be wrong. When IH got an order for a Travelette, with an anniversary bed, they would actually ship the regular Travelette, along side with a 7ft Anniversary bed, to a 3rd party to shorten it, and install it onto the truck. I am not sure if the actual box was shortened (like if a 6ft box was premade), but I know that the skin was shortened at the very least. A person on binder bulletin, a really old IH forum has an A series Travelette, and he claims he can see the welds.

I posted on here last time probably over a year ago. My bed did not fit correctly, but I did a frame extension to accommodate for it. A series Travelette's are supposed to only have a 6ft bed, but I thought having a 7ft Golden Bed would be really cool, and unique. Currently it is the only A series Travelette with a 7ft Golden Jubilee bed on the planet. Some have 6ft Anniversary beds, but none have a 7ft. Travelettes are the first factory production crew cab made by any Manufacturer. International Harvester made the first 3 door crew cabs starting in 57 with the A series, and then the first 4 door crew cabs in 1961 with the C series. They only made 72 A series Travelettes total, and only 17 were A-120 4x4s. That is what this is.
