This was one of the vehicles with which they hauled grain and livestock to market. This one is somewhat truncated.

I found this 1954 Chevy on a trip to Hannibal, Mo my wife and I took a few years ago. My wife saw it first and suggested I stop and take a photo. Good call.
Here is an old Dodge I found about ten miles South of Marshall, Missouri on a road called H Route.
This is a Chevy Viking dump truck. I found this old baby at the grain elevators in Mexico, Missouri. Looks like it has a number “6” on the driver’s side door. I wonder what this truck was being used for at the elevator.
This old International Cab Over reminds me of the Robot on ‘Lost in Space’. “Danger, danger, Will Robinson”!

This is one of the first paintings of these old Workhorse trucks that I have done. This old Ford was up around Glasgow Missouri (or at least the front half was).
On our way up to Detroit a few years ago, my wife and I found this old stake truck somewhere in Central Illinois. It was pretty cold out that day.
Here is an old GMC I found in a lot that used to be an establishment where I started out as a welder. That was back in the late ’70s at a place called Marshall Equipment Company. The place has kind of gone to seed since then.
Here is an old mid ’50s Chevy. The hood looks like it might be a bit sprung. Looks like the trees grew up around the license plate.
Here is an old REO Cold Comet my friend, Ron, and I found in Northern Saline County, Missouri. That big tree behind the roof was growing right through the bed.

Caught this over the road hauler out at Midway Truck Stop about 10 miles West of Columbia, MO on a rather brisk March morning.
Here is a spooky old fellow out in the sticks on a gloomy night. Might give one a little bit of a start to see those lights come on unexpected like.
Here is a Peterbilt I found just East of Columbia amidst a bunch of miscellaneous junk. Looks like a bell housing for a transmission just underneath the fuel tank.

This old Ford has been out of service for a long time.

“Move it on Over”. I think somebody wrote a song with that title.
Here is an old 1954 (I think) Dodge wrecker my wife and I found in Illinois on our way back from a visit to family in Detroit during the holidays a few years ago. Got out of the car, took the photo and hopped right back in. “Crank up the heater, Honey.”
Nothing built like a Peterbilt.
Here is a late ’60s or possibly early ’70s International cab over. I found this big boy in Ashland, Missouri.
