Don't mind any of it, Worked on all too many and drove enough to admit they were good and long lived machines. Liked the R180 better than the 190 as had more style still Dirt Road ugly!! The Vstar 220 was a overall better looking wagon!

Back in 83ish, I was fueling up "James" my GMC 9500 at the local truck stop and one of those IH cabovers rolled in next to me. Beautiful truck, Jet black with dual chrome everything. I believe it was leased to International transport Inc, got to talking with the owner and found out it was on a late model Peterbilt cabover frame that had suffered a cab fire. I'm sure there was a ton of money sitting there.
