Ever hear of the Warlock? It's the 'lil red's Nemesis.

I've never heard of that before. I also didn't know that IHC had a "Johnnie Reb" edition either. What was the Warlock?

I think they are also called Midnight Express.

A Dodge Power Wagon. However I would have like it if you had extend until the end of the '80s so I could have said a 1989 Power Wagon with a Cummins 6.

I severely underestimated the popularity of IHC pickups on this website. It's a shame IHC didn't try to extend the life of their light truck production by implementing some of their smaller diesels into them. A 3/4 or 1 ton truck with a DT360 from the factory would've been a game-changer if it was introduced before Dodge put the 6BT Cummins into a truck. Instead they opted to supply Ford with V8 diesels that ranged from mediocre to terrible.

Saying it lightly, when you own a Square you already have the best! But...these trucks have their weakness/flaws just like any other manufacturer's product. I love the 73-91 CKRV and have had dozens over the years. They are easy to get parts for and many of the parts interchange throughout the years. There are still plenty left out there as well.
The IHC trucks are obscure but they too integrate many durable and desirable components into their trucks. I too am surprised how much traction IHC has gained on this site. It's probably because like AMC, IHC used many components from the big 3 to manufacture their trucks.
It would be cool to see a new IHC 300 with a DT466 or CAT brand new on the lot but unfortunately that is not the case. As recyclers do, we can refurbish and restore what is out there to preserve the functional history of whatever piques our interest fortunately.
I still love my Squares better though!
