Skylab was an SIVB outfitted with upgrades inside the propellant
tanks. The propellant tanks themselves were used during the launch
and then vented in a manner similar to vonBraun's ideas regarding
Project Horizon.

Skylab was launched "dry"; no propellants, no J-2. A "wet"
S-IVB on a Saturn 1-B was proposed, but soaking station
equipment in LH2 was a Problem.
