International Harvester Travelall - Redesign

Redesign

The Travelall (along with the 1000 D-series pickups on which it was based) was last redesigned in the first half of 1969 with a more modern look which echoed that of the smaller Scout. Available engine options for the 1000, 1100, and 1200 D-series Travelalls ranged from the unusual 232 ci AMC inline-six via three IHC V8s (of 304, 345, and 392 cubic inches) and four-wheel drive was optional on the 1100 and 1200s. Power outputs ranged from 145 to 253 hp (108 to 189 kW). In 1973 and 1974, due to a short supply of IHC's own V8s, AMC's 401 cubic inch V8 was available as an option called the V-400. The slow-selling six-cylinder was dropped for 1972, and by 1975 only IHC's own V8s were still available, with outputs down to 141–172 hp (105–128 kW).

In spite of very high owner loyalty and satisfaction, sales steadily declined and production of passenger pickups and Travelalls ended entirely in May, 1975; production of the Scout continued until 1980. The company exists today as Navistar International, and continues to make medium and large trucks. A twin barrel version of the AMC 401 V8 (called the V-400 by IHC) was used in 1974 when International's own 392 was in short supply.
