    Over-cab rear view mirror. Used to be AT&T truck if you notice the logo on door.

    Based on the 20" tires, I am guessing it is a S-160. I have owned 2 IH 4 wheel drive trucks, a '59 A-120 and a '73 1500.

    Good trucks, the old Black/Green Diamond engines are very durable. Not high RPM, but good pullers.

    Just bumped into the guy at the gas pump. I noticed a trailer of logs at his place yesterday on my way home and he pulled in to fuel up right behind me.
    1956 s-160, 3000 miles, had it running a couple years ago. Says he has a guy coming today that will give $1500 if he can get it fired up. Not in my cards right now.
