Hmmm folding reach. I bet that was kind of cutting edge at the time.

Here in BC from what I was told they were very common as trucks were loaded from a Jammer , very few log loader in the interior in the late 40's and early 50's Trucks had winch to load trailers and unload.

R-182 IH and IH ___??? Barrier BC. and a KB 8 IH with a load of logs.

Was a Loadstar Series, cannot see the Numeric series.

Know of a couple of R-190s around here but the guys won't sell them, ugly as a Poor dirt road.

 

[Hank R]

I am most likely wrong but I thought the Loadstar series had a 1 piece fiberglass hood. the one I drove in the 70's did 1700 series but I have been wrong most of my life or over half of it.

I just did the google thing and I am wrong again so no beer for me tonight.

Been along time since I've seen a chained dolly, with ABS brake systems that really became a thing of the past. Nice photos Hank, I really like old black and white photos.

Heres a K I saw awhile back. Did not get the model number.

Wish I could find one don't care if running in almost ANY old chassis the owner doesn't want thousands for. Everybody thinks they have a collector piece even as does not run, glass broken, missing parts Many with NO TITLE, when is just a cab and maybe chassis to mod out to a Rat Rod or Franken Truck.

I really messed up a bit I should of started with some Federal pictures as they were the first trucking for the Ganton boys. Now trying to get a proper order for the next batch .

Yup, that Fire truck would be a good home for an 8.3L Cummins with an Allison built up to pull a 5th wheel camper for me.

 

[Hank R]

WC-22 White early 1950's with air brakes and water on brakes. air horn is on cab. John standing on cab, Bob beside truck. Unloading a legal??? load of logs at Louis Creek B.C. 1960. Them old trucks sure took a beating in the good old days.

Those are great pictures of the old Internationals Hank. I have a K B 5 ,i feel guilty owning it as i just dont have the time to work on so it just sits.

Truck Shop and RZ, I shot this back in 11' a little east of Cle Elum off the old Highway if my foggy memory RAM is up to speed. I was just curious if either one of you guy's or maybe John knew anything about this unit. It still has it's "Flying A" door sign as well as the tank.

That A-Car, DC102 has been setting there since 1975, you were in the canyon between Ellensburg and Cle Elum at a place called Bristol Flats. Here's another shot of it.

Thanks Truck Shop, I was curious if you knew that one. I have a friend here that is a big Acar fan and had me print it for his office. I didn’t know if it was a Wenatchee/Eburg regular or not.
