With Van Zandt’s early foray into the new market of Letara, the company put forward the pride of its utility division. The Brazos was a Van Zandt original dating back to 1946. But the 1952 model had been so wildly successful, so reliable, so cheap to own, so ubiquitous, that it took almost 20 years to finalize any more than repeated facelifts. With the 1975 Brazos, Van Zandt was content that they could finally outdo themselves. Meanwhile, Letarans were missing out on even that old spectacular workhorse. The new series including the Brazos, Conestoga, and Ranch Wagon variants became the debut of the brand in Letara. It was their best foot forward into what they hoped was a ripe customer base.

It’s not the ubiquitous blue truck Letarans know and love. Instead, they brought out an example of the ‘Mayflower’ brand’s ‘Emissar Super Sport’. Replacing its V6 with an even more powerful, and not-mainline for Van Zandt, V8, they created the
Van Zandt Intender.
