The year that went on the titles was a very inexact science until the
1970's when safety and emissions requirements started requiring different
specs for different years and the consumer protection movement gained
strength.  Up through the 60's, it was common for trucks (anyone, not
just IH) to title the truck as being of the year it was sold, not built,
particularly when there were no model changes for several years.  But I
have also heard of L-lines that were titled two years into the R-line
production.
