In September the new S series was announced, replacing the R models from the 100 to 180 series. The heavier-duty versions continued to be in the R-series, until this line was finally replaced in 1972. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Harvester_R-Series
Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2014-06-22 23:13	I asked around about this: "That was an International/Farrar that belonged to Rockport, where they filmed the movie the Love letter with Tom Selleck. In the movie the name of the town was Loblolly (hence on the hood) Anyway, it was a real nice rig that ended up sitting out in somebody's yard until it turned into junk. I saw it for sale a few years ago, the fire body and pump had been removed and it was a bare chassis."
