Chronology | |
Predecessor | International C series |
The International Light Line pickups (also called the International D-Series (1000–1500)) replaced the C series[1] as International's Light Line range of pickup trucks in early 1969, for a shortened model year. The name started out as a simple continuation of the previous A-, B-, and C-series trucks. It was largely a rebodied version of its predecessors, with a square-rigged look very similar to the period Scout utility vehicle.[1] The Travelall underwent parallel changes to the Light Line trucks. The light line of trucks was marked by a larger range of transmission and wheelbase options than any of its competitors, and in general the lineup aimed to maximize adaptability.[2] The Light Line was also available as a bare chassis, for special purpose applications.[3] Production ended in late April 1975, as a hard-pressed International chose to focus on the Scout and on heavier machinery.
