1917 model F
The model F was used to haul pears from the orchard directly to the packing house in town. And bring home supplies on the return trip. I can’t imagine it was much better than the horse team used previously. Regardless, the truck served our family well and it’s on me to keep history alive.
I have two other, more modern IHC trucks that are in the queue for restoration as well, but that’s another story; 1934 C-5? (not sure exact model) and a 1947 KB-7. Both have the same backstory. Purchased new and used the haul fruit and cattle. The KB-7 is pretty special to me since I rode in it with my dad hauling pears, and if I was good, got to stop on the way home for a vanilla frosty with the empty bins.
Nice meeting you all.
