work-oriented crew cab trucks, extended cab trucks were marketed for both work and personal use; a rear folding seat was available for extra seating or for storage, accessed by folding the front seats forward. The Light Line was never developed as an extended cab, but Dodge and Ford would introduce the Club Cab and Super Cab in 1973 and 1974, respectively (GM would do so in 1988).

General Motors followed suit in 1973; in a fashion similar to International, their crew-cab pickup design was derived from a truck-based wagon (today, SUV). During the late 1970s, Japanese manufacturers would introduce crew-cab pickup trucks of their own (trading shortened bed length for a four-door cab); while popular in markets around the world, four-door compact pickup trucks would not be introduced in North America until the late 1990s.

The original 1957-1960 three-door Travelette became a precursor of an additional type of pickup truck design feature. During the 1970s, American manufacturers introduced two-door extended-cab pickup trucks, sized between two-door standard-cab and four-door crew cab pickup trucks. In contrast to
