Well, it isn't in the 150 Years of International Harvester.
My son has the other book.

The answer is 1949. An experimental version of the METRO CALLED KB-1-M was shown in Chicago. The METRO had a cut-a-way at the back for fifth wheel and is could pull a matching holiday trailer. The name TRAVELETTE name would reappear years later as an OEM four door cab.

Re: TRAVELETTE

Yep, got me when the name first came out. But in 1957, it was released as a 4 door model short box.
