I cannot remember names but there is one or two guys on this forum that have moved a number of trucks over the years. Hopefully someone with a better memory that I will chime in soon.

Geoff, If you're referring to the one I posted, it did have air brakes.

This is the 1967 Loadstar that I drove on the farm. If memory serves me it was a 549, 5 and 3. I loved driving this truck and would have bought it if Jim would have been willing to sell it at the right time.

Try reaching out to this group: https://harvesterhomecoming.com/contact-us for information on your truck. Fort Wayne was once called the truck capital of the world due to International Harvester. They have a big show each summer and there is a lot of info available from this group of former employees and collectors.

That day started, for me, at Concordia Theological Seminary in Ft Wayne with the recovery of a vac truck that had loaded and then was top-heavy for the grade that it was parked on. I learned of the 1st, 2nd & 3rd crashes on my way to the call & the 4th while there. After the recovery my team & the vac truck driver left and I went into the building that the vac truck is facing and stood and watched a large TV along with students & faculty. The room was filled with people & I could here gasps, crying and quiet praying all around me. I stayed busy that day and later, along I-69 while doing a tractor swap myself and the truck driver paused for a rest in the grass and looked up at the sky. No planes in the sky, no jet trails, nothing but a very blue sky and a few white clouds.

This was at my fiance's home (soon to be mine as well) on May 23th of this year. a90ada81-406b-48bb-bddf-2ccd16a83bd7.mp4

Berger Auto Service is in Ft Wayne, IN just a few miles from where I live. They often have interesting comments on their sign.

We have outside carriers come to our service center to drop off refused freight from grocery warehouses on a regular basis. They drop the product off to us to be returned to the shipper. This is not an exaggeration... 9 out of 10 of the OTR drivers are not American born. Of the 9 that are not 7 of those 9 have so little comprehension of the English language that they either have an interpreter app on their phone or have to call their company to have someone who speaks English speak to us.

GA Dave... YOU WIN THE INTERNET tonight with that comment!

According to the information that Dan Bruno had years back when he was building his RD replica (technically became the restoration of one the actual movie RD700's) & researching the movie the Mack Cruiseliner was sold and then totaled in a severe jack-knife crash in California. I still haven't read his book even though it is setting next to me on my desk now to see if that info is in the book.

Old Age & Senility... I wish I still had that calendar. IMO the best paint scheme ever.

Look up Mike Harbison (Jr) on FB. Mikey was organizing his dad's collection after Mike got sick the 1st time around and long before he passed. I know that he has some C's out there & I'm sure that he has the items you need in a parts bin/box someplace.

Happy Birthday Barry!
