Two different trucks, loaded different ways.

From the Oliver plant archives at the Floyd County Museum in Charles City, Two truck loads of Super 55 Tractors loaded and ready to go. This is from a plant negative.

Thanks for the great old photo.

Out of curiosity, what is the brand of the first semi tractor?

Sure looks like an IH cab. There used to be diamond T trucks with IH cabs as well as well as Heindersons

I wonder if mine's on either one of those loads?

John is right on the IH, and the others using the same cab. The second truck is a GMC with a regular flat bed. The first trailer was a car hauler. I counted 7 tractors on the first, and 6 on the second one. Second one is loaded piggyback.
Also, the first truck is leased to, or owed by Diamond Transportation, and I think they were out of South Bend In. They hauled a lot of new equipment of all colors.

Used to see Fords stacked up like that leaving the sale in Archbold.

J, do they have the dates on these photos? (My Super 55 could be on there too?)

I just posted the picture of before this. I don't know if it has anything to do with the other's date or not.
