Welcome back to From the Archives, where we share some of the cool truck-related stuff we’ve discovered in our files! Today, we’re going to check out some pictures of our 1919 Pierce Arrow from before it was restored. Pierce Arrow is best known for its high-end luxury vehicles, but they also made some very well-regarded commercial vehicles from 1912 to 1932. While the Pierce-Arrow truck was not as luxurious as their cars, the company's trucks were made with careful engineering, using high quality materials to create a well-built truck that performed well and lasted under heavy use. This precision engineering came at a cost: Pierce Arrow proudly advertised their trucks as “the highest price truck on the market.” We acquired this truck at auction in 2004 and began restoration work in 2012. It was in rough shape to start, but the years of patience paid off. Today, this truck is in showroom condition, and we are proud to have it on permanent display in our museum. Come see the 1919 Pierce Arrow and many other rare antique vehicles today at the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum! #trucking #truckhistory #iowa80truckingmuseum #trucks #oldtrucks #truckerlife #vintagetrucks #truckers

Did you know that our 1932 Pierce Arrow is fitted with a powerful Cummins HA 6-cylinder engine? This 1932 Pierce Arrow was produced at the beginning of a revolution in the automotive and engine industries. Boasting around 125 horsepower from the factory, its engine parts were made from large chrome, nickel, and iron blocks! They made a small and large version of this engine, with the smaller engine being a four-cylinder, 448 cubic inches, and the bigger one being a six-cylinder, 672 cubic inches. This engine also came with state-of-the-art pushrod-actuated injectors, meaning that the injectors were being run by the pushrods as the engine was running. It is currently on loan to us from Jim Dobbas, and has a top speed of 45 MPH. #truckhistory #iowa80truckingmuseum #truckerlife #oldtrucks #truckers #vintagetrucks #iowa80 #midwest

Welcome to a new segment where we will discuss some of the gas pumps and other Petroliana in our collection! 🚛⛽️ White Eagle Oil and Refining Company was a gas and oil producer that exploded with the oil rush in the early 20th century around the fields of central Wyoming. They later expanded south to Kansas, opening four more refineries. White Eagle's first refinery in Casper, Wyoming opened in 1923 and is still open to this day. However, it has had a few different owners over the years. It was first acquired and absorbed by Standard Oil in 1930 and then again by Sinclair in 1968. This pump is a model 2487-V was produced by the American Oil Pump and Tank Company of Cincinnati, Ohio from 1927-1948. It once held gasoline with an additive called ETHYL. You’ll notice the cast white eagle atop the pump, and the one beside the pump in the photo. These eagles can be seen throughout the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum and in the Iowa 80 Group headquarters building. #truckhistory #trucking #oldtrucks #trucks #truckers #iowa80 #gaspumps #iowa80truckingmuseum #petroliana

Did you guess the 1979 Jeep J-10 Golden Eagle? 🚛🦅 The Jeep J-series trucks went under many names during their 25-year run from 1963 to 1988. They started as Gladiators, transitioned to J-2000s and J-4000s, before finally landing on the J-10 and J-20 names. These trucks were already getting old by the late 1970s, so in order to entice new customers Jeep decided to add more creature comforts and modern design touches. Three special trim levels were added to the line as a result of this effort: Honcho, 10-4, and Golden Eagle. Each package added exclusive decals and interior designs. True to its name, the Golden Eagle sports golden pinstriping and a large eagle motif on the hood. This rare and desirable vehicle is in stunning shape and has less than 30K miles on the clock. #truckers #truckerlife #vintagetrucks #truckhistory #trucks #iowa80truckingmuseum #oldtrucks #jeep

The F-150 has been America's best-selling vehicle for over four decades, earning its place as a symbol of reliability and toughness on the road. ⁠ ⁠ In 1948, Ford introduced the F-Series, and the F-150 variant made its debut in 1975 as a half-ton pickup, bridging the gap between the F-100 and F-250 models.⁠ ⁠ From hauling heavy loads to dominating off-road adventures, the F-150 boasts impressive capability, thanks to innovations like the high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy body introduced in 2015. 💪 ⁠ ⁠ #FordF150 #BuiltFordTough #truckhistory

Welcome back to From the Archives, where we share some of the cool truck-related stuff we’ve discovered in our files! Today, we’re going to take a look at one of Kenworth’s most iconic designs, our 1949 “needle nose” CD-524. This truck was originally purchased by General Petroleum to haul fuel for Mobil Oil. It’s a West Coast truck through and through, and we purchased it from another museum in California in 1994. These pre-restoration pictures show the truck as it was when we got it. Don’t let the slick paint job fool you – although it had been restored in the 1980s, the truck was not in great shape. It had many holes that were filled in with Bondo, and the exhaust had no muffler. Once we got it, we had it overhauled the right way. All the holes in the body were properly welded and the exhaust was repaired. The truck was repainted to its current red color at this time. #trucking #iowa80truckingmuseum #oldtrucks #trucks #truckhistory #iowa80 #vintagetrucks #truckerlife .

This 1928 Graham Screenside is equipped with a Dodge "Victory Six" Engine. These engines came new from the factory with a Stromberg carburetor! This engine is a side valve engine, producing 58 horsepower when the engine is at 3000 R.P.M. They were a great choice for the Graham and Dodge Brothers, with great power and fuel economy. #iowa80truckingmuseum #truckhistory #oldtrucks #iowa80 #trucks #trucking #truckers

Let's welcome our truck of the month: the 1916 Mack AC! Few antique trucks can claim to rival the impressive reputation of the Mack AC. Most famously used in World War I, this iconic truck was in production from 1916 all the way through 1938. Over 40,000 were produced. This particular AC is very special: it was the first to roll off the assembly line in 1916! The museum is extremely fortunate to own the very first production model of such an important truck. It was this truck that was displayed at the Boston Auto Show in 1916 upon the model’s release. Unlike many of our trucks, the chain of ownership of this Mack is very well documented. It was sold from the Boston Auto Show to Boston Ice & Coal Company in 1916. It was later traded back to the Mack dealer, where it was used to do odd jobs around the dealership. Next, it moved to Zimmerman Auto Museum in Harrisburg, PA, before settling at Harrah’s Casinos. We acquired this AC from Harrah’s in 1981, and it has been here ever since! We fully restored this truck in 2002. It is currently on display at the Iowa 80 Group headquarters building. #truckhistory #oldtrucks #iowa80 #iowa80truckingmuseum #trucking #truckers #trucks #vintagetrucks

A love for trucking is hereditary… Check out this incredible artwork shared by @Archie_Wilson, painted by his Great Grandad almost 20 years ago. The picture features Archie’s Dad’s first truck, an Actros MP2, which he drove for company AP Pavers, paver hire and supply specialist. Fun fact - Archie and his Dad still drive for the same company today! His father’s Actros has a special place in Archie’s heart. They spent many weekends and school holidays on the road together in the Actros pictured – something which no doubt inspired him to explore a career in trucking himself. A huge thank you to this family of truck lovers for sharing their story and image with us. Do you have a three-pointed star story?

Welcome back to From the Archives, the series where we share some of the most interesting truck-related stuff we’ve found in our files. We often post older photos of our trucks before they were restored, but our archive contains much more than just pictures. We also have a large collection of rare advertisements and brochures from many small truck manufacturers, most of which are from the early 20th century. Today we’re going to take a look at some materials from the Day Elder Motors Corporation. Day Elder was founded in 1918 in Irvington, New Jersey. The company takes its unusual name from two of its founders: Charles Day and F.G. Elder. Like many other truck companies during this time, Day Elder built assembled trucks. This means that Day Elder sourced major components, like engines and transmissions, from other companies. They took all these components and put them together in their factory. In a crowded field of assembled trucks, Day Elder stood out. They were considered very well build for the time and were an early adopter of worm drive axles. Many trucks during this period utilized chain drive axles, which were reliable, but created lots of excess noise and vibration. Worm Drive axles made for a much smoother ride, but required much finer machining tolerances and were often less durable. The company lasted roughly two decades, and even had national distribution for several years. Although it fared better than many, Day Elder suffered during the Great Depression, and was shut down by 1937. Have you ever seen a Day Elder truck before? What truck company would you like to learn more about next? #trucking #iowa80truckingmuseum #oldtrucks #vintagetrucks #truckhistory #trucks #iowa80

Did you guess the 1930 Ford Model AA? The Ford Model AA was Ford’s second mass produced truck, following the Model TT. It is closely associated with the Model A passenger car, sharing many mechanical components and body panels. Although very popular, Models A and AA were produced for a much shorter period than the ubiquitous Model T – they were only in production from 1928 through 1931. Like the earlier Model TT, the AA was adapted for many different purposes. Model AAs were ambulances, funeral coaches, mail trucks, and tanker trucks among many other uses. Our example sports a versatile wooden bed, which would have made it useful for many different applications. As a 1930 model, it features stamped steel wheels (as opposed to wire spoke wheels) and a 4-speed transmission. Come on out and see this beautiful example at the Iowa 80 Trucking museum! #trucking #iowa80truckstop #iowa80truckingmuseum #trucks #truckhistory #iowa80 #Iowa80TruckingMuseum

We often post older photos of our trucks before they were restored, but our archive contains much more than just pictures. We also have a large collection of rare advertisements and brochures from many small truck manufacturers, most of which are from the early 20th century. Today we’re going to take a look at some materials from the Maytag-Mason Motor Car Company. Maytag-Mason was an early Iowa-based automotive company. It was founded by Fred and August Duesenberg with financial support from Edward Mason. The Duesenberg's designed a two-cylinder automobile in 1904 and brought it to market in 1906 under the Mason brand. Later, the Maytag family (the same one famous for laundry appliances) bought controlling interest in the company, renaming it Maytag-Mason. Eventually the Duesenberg's left to start their own company, the Duesenberg Motor Company, for which they are best known today. They took the rights to the Mason name with them but left their original automobile design. Maytag did not survive long without them, and production ceased shortly after their departure. Maytag-Mason built three commercial vehicles based on their passenger car models – the light duty Models 10 and 11 were simple vehicles aimed at small businesses, while the more experimental Two-in-One Car came with two interchangeable bodies, one for personal or pleasure use and one for commercial hauling. The images featured in this post are from a brochure published late in the company’s lifetime, probably around 1912. After the dissolution of the company, both the Maytag's and the Duesenberg's would find great success in other enterprises. Have you heard of Maytag-Mason trucks? What truck company do you want us to feature next time? #iowa80 #vintagetrucks #iowa80truckingmuseum #trucks #trucking #truckhistory #oldtrucks

Who guessed the 1954 International RDC-405? In 1951, International released its first cabover tractor available with a diesel engine, the LCD-405. Two years later, the truck was tweaked and renamed the RDC-405 before being renamed yet again as the DC-405 in 1956. Although only marketed for four years, the distinctive 405 cabovers are instantly recognizable among trucking enthusiasts. Originally purchased in Los Angeles, this RDC-405 spent much of its early life hauling livestock in California. Later, it was used in an oil field in Arizona. At some point it was purchased by a truck enthusiast from the oil field and taken to Nebraska, where it sat unused under a tarp for 13 years. Bill Glawe of Dana, IA rescued the truck after the previous owner retired. Glawe fully restored the truck and made it roadworthy again. In the process of restoration, he converted the truck to a 12-volt electrical system and retrofitted a 13-speed transmission. Glawe also added a Mercury sleeper and had the truck repainted. This truck is displayed at the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum but is on loan from Bill Glawe. #iowa80truckingmuseum #Truckerlife #trucks #vintagetrucks #truckhistory #iowa80 #iowa80truckstop #Oldtrucks

This is a 1949 Kenworth fitted with a Cummins NHRS 275 horsepower engine with a mechanical supercharger! Cummins began making diesel engines in 1919 and is still one of the leading manufacturers today. The NH series engines were the younger brother of the earlier H series engines. The “S” in the engine model name stands for supercharger. This engine was fitted with a mechanical supercharger meaning the supercharger is gear driven off the left side of the engine. As the power builds the gears begin to whine causing for the quite the noise. Many truckers of the era commonly remember trucks fitted with an NHRS engine shooting flames out of the stacks while accelerating. Along with the NHRS 275 is a Spicer 5 x 3 speed transmission. This means the truck has a five-speed transmission with a three-speed rear axle leading to a higher top speed! Top Speed: 72 MPH #Iowa80TruckingMuseum #truckhistory #iowa80 #Oldtrucks #vintagetrucks #trucking #iowa80truckstop

Unimog through the decades. Since the 1940s, the Unimog has been a revolutionary vehicle. Imagine making it even better. That is exactly what Daimler-Benz did when it took over ownership in the 1950s. A new, and even more powerful version of Unimog was born which was larger, more dominating than ever before. They called it the 406. This Unimog 421 (pictured) is a 1966 variation of the 406 series. It retained all the off-road capabilities and ruggedness of the original, but with smaller dimensions to suit even more industry applications. These were the beginnings of what we now know as the U4000 and U5000 models. #Unimog #heritageMog #truckhistory

A MOMENT IN AMERICAN BLACK HISTORY: #Fredrick McKinley Jones Refrigerated Truck . . #blackamericanhistory #blackhistory #agriculture #foodindustry #foodindustrynews #truckhistory #trucks

Advance design trucks of 47-53 have always been my least favorite of all the generations of Chevy trucks. Not sure why, probably has something to do with the fact that there are so many surviving an they don’t tip the rarity factor that I normally geek on. This one however, as we know Chevy has always carried the older body style in heavier payloads during the rollout of a new body style. This is one such truck. Sold as a 1955 Chevrolet 3800 1 ton it has all the accessories I appreciate. Two tone, 8 lug steelies, 5-window, bed-frame push bar, long bed step side, chrome grill and Southern Heritage. I’d be all in about 10k but I wish the owner luck with an asking price of 22! #hotrodsoftexas #drivewayreport #swapmeetfinds #texastrucks #slowtrucks #originaltrucks #8lugthug #steelies #ironmantruck #roughrider #vintagetin #truckhistory #1955chevytruck #oneton #onetonner #onetons #nosebleedseats #raretruck #heavypayload #worktrucks #classicworktruck #farmtrucks 50.24 #oldtrucksneverdie #keepontrucking #mr4speed #grannygear #grindem #hayhaulers #paradetruck #longbedchevy @hous10_trucks

In honor of Black History Month, we’d like to recognize an incredible pioneer in the transportation and logistics industry, John T. Ward. Ward worked tirelessly to fight injustice and defy racial barriers, and eventually used his experiences to create a successful transportation business for his family. The company he founded with little more than a horse-drawn wagon is now the oldest black-owned business in the country and has been operating continuously since 1881. John T. Ward, a free black man, was born in 1820 in Richmond, Virginia. He would later relocate to Ohio, where he met his wife, Catherine. As a young man, he used his status as a free person of color to assist enslaved people escaping into free territories. The farm he owned with Catherine would later become an important stop on the Underground Railroad. Countless formerly enslaved people owed their freedom to activists like Ward, who risked their livelihoods to do what they knew was right. When the Civil War broke out, Ward used the skills he learned transporting people to transport supplies. He and his son William secured government contracts during this time and shipped goods to support the Union war effort. With his father John’s support, William S. Ward established Ward Transfer Lines in 1881. The Wards used their practical experience fighting for justice to start a business that would support their family for generations. It would soon be renamed E.E. Ward Moving and Storage after John’s grandson, Earl E. Ward. E.E. Ward has been a successful moving company ever since and has been helping families in Ohio transport their belongings for almost 140 years. Although John T. Ward passed in 1897, his legacy lives on in the company he founded all those years ago. #Iowa80TruckingMuseum #iowa80 #truckhistory #Trucks #Oldtrucks #blackhistory #BlackHistoryMonth

Through the decades… The Unimog has been an unstoppable force since its debut in the late 1940s. This 1953-56 Unimog 401 was a trailblazer, becoming the first model to sport the iconic Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star grille emblem. Originally designed as an ultra-versatile tractor and equipment carrier, the 401 could tackle any terrain with its rugged engineering. Its open canopy was later replaced with an enclosed cab for all-weather capability. Over 70 years later, the Unimog’s legend lives on. The striking 401 kicked off an era of innovation that made this machine an unmistakable icon of engineering excellence. #unimog #partofalegend #mogheritage #truckhistory

Throughout the +100 years that Ford has been in the pickup business, many examples have stood out, making an undeniable impact on the direction of this iconic franchise. The Beginning Of History After the introduction of the Model T in 1908, coach builders began to adapt it for commercial purposes, adding stake beds and enclosed bodies to carry cargo. Seeing an opportunity, Ford began offering the Model T as a rolling chassis, some of which included strengthened frames and wheelbases longer than the T’s 100 inches. By 1914, third-party suppliers were building heavily modified versions of the Model T chassis capable of hauling up to three tons of cargo. The company began to receive more requests to build a heavy-duty platform of its own, but Henry Ford found himself distracted by several projects, including the development of Fordson tractors and a December 1915 trip to Europe to negotiate an end to the first World War. His efforts in ending the war were unsuccessful. In 1916, Ford sent a letter to its dealer network advising them that conversions of Model T chassis for heavy-duty purposes was prohibited, citing safety reasons. While this may have been a valid excuse, Ford itself was in the process of developing a one-ton truck chassis, and hoped to eliminate the competition prior to its launch. Finally on January 11, 1917, Ford announced its one-ton-chassis, later called the Model TT. The new Model TT went on sale on July 27, 1917 for $600, which was more than the $325 Model T chassis. The last four photos depict the evolution of the pickup truck throughout the years of 1925, 1934, 1937, and 1941. Each image captures a unique moment in Ford's history, showcasing the changes and innovations that have shaped pickup trucks from their early days up to the 1940s.

Let's take a look under the hood of this 1917 Velie 26 B 3.5-Ton! Engine: Continental F4 Transmission: 4-Speed Brown-Lipe Top Speed: 12 MPH This Velie 26 B 3.5-Ton was originally used in Silver City, New Mexico by T.C. Watkins to haul mining equipment and supplies along the Mogollon Rim. It is only one of five Velie trucks known to still exist. Old work-horse trucks like this are rare. Many were shipped to Europe by the Army during World War I. It is a heavy truck; most were bought up for scrap and the metal was reused for tanks, bombs, torpedoes, and ships in WWII. Its solid rubber tires alone weight 700 pounds each. The truck has had much use as evidenced by the repaired and braced frame. The engine mounts have even worn into the frame, and the engine itself engine had to be completely rebuilt. #Iowa80TruckingMuseum #iowa80 #truckhistory #vintagetrucks #Trucks #Oldtrucks #trucking #velie

The waiting is over: there is the legend itself, straight from the DDR. IFA W50 LA ADK80 autocrane. I wanted to bring some fresh colour to my display shelf. There were mostly red and white trucks, but this colour is on fire. 🔥 I prefer to build in 6 wide (city compatible) scale, but the 6 wide IFA is too high compare to the real life truck, so I've made it with 7 wide cab. When I finished the plan I realized that 3 important parts are not exist in yellow. I had tough days, tried several other solutions to replace these parts, but I failed. Than I've started to find an alternate with LEGO compatible parts (for ex: coby) but I found nothing. After all I made the big decision, bought a paint spray (RAL1021, exactly LEGO yellow) and painted these parts. Now I'm happy with the result, because the yellow is the only OG colour of this truck. My version is an ADK80, the big brother of ADK70. The numbers refer to the cranes' lifting capacity. The bigger could lift 8 tonnes. ADK70s and 80s have a speciality: there are 2 seats in the cab, but these are opposites each other. One for driving and the other one is for operating the crane. In the real life the back and top of the cab are full of windows, but I couldn't manage them to the top. A hungarian saying says "these trucks built a whole country". Although some of these workhorses still in daily use.🇭🇺 #lego #legomoc #moc #afol #legostagram #legohungary #legocity #legoconstruction #legomasters #ddr #ifa #ifaw50 #ludwigsfelde #takraf #adk #adk80 #ifaadk #autocrane #autojerab #crane #legocrane #truckhistory #ostblock #easternbloc #ostblocktechnic #w50 #legodeutschland legogermany #scalemodel #diecastcars
