The term "corn binder" had nothing to do with headlight aim, but was related to the fact "International Harvester" was mainly a agriculture equipment company.
Yep, I have several friends, my age and older, and they all refer, or referred, to IH as "Binders". Which I always assumed was meant as another name for a "reaper" or "binder".

Looks like the third one back is a late 50's Dodge. Can't make out what the 4th and 5th ones are.

I had a '62 corn binder! I loved that truck so much.
3/4 timing in a DIY van conversion. Backroads, mountains, boondocking, sometimes big cities for a change of pace.

We called those International trucks , " corn binders '. Headlights were always aimed high so a could see over the corn and hay while drivin out to feed the stock , My last one was a 1962 or 1963 .
