Memories for us old truckers

Fresh out of gold stars-how about a balloon and a chocolate chip cookie will that work?

If any members on here see this truck call the law-It was stolen today from a truck show in Red Bluff, Cal.-1956 Pete. Who ever stole it had to
be able to run a set of sticks. Unbelievable what people will do or can happen.

Is shameful some feel a need to steal others prime machines.

Nice old corn queen, no Minn Mags though!!

West Coast IH's from that era are rare, especially a unrestored one in that good of condition. The original long hood.

Stolen 56 Pete was found abandoned, good for J. Hill owner.

Is there a market for beds there there scrap iron here. I could have bought 3 running c70 with very good beds for $2000.00 a truck.

If I had a farm to license it to, I'd be down for a truck like that. My first encounter with a 220 was in a sunken tugboat I helped recover in 1980.

Those were called Powerliners- The big grille/radiator opening was for big horse power engines. KTA600, 12V71.

 

[DMiller]

I only ever saw two
Unlike the IH CO4090 I never saw any

Very rare machines

 

[Truck Shop]

Lilly Miller ran several Powerliners I've maybe seen 25 through the years.
