OK, so I'm somewhat old truck illiterate, what make truck is that? It looks familiar, but it's not a 2 1/2 ton (ten hole budd wheels). The crane looks like the Quickway on my IH M5H6. I'm just an old dog tryin' to learn a few new tricks! :roll:

CCKW to the left in the back ground.

Brockway is the one with the Crane. (corrected)

Just as interesting as the trucks is the number of shipping crates brought to populate the display.

Looks very authentic.

Wow! What a great display. I am having trouble making enough crates to fill a GS trailer. :oops:

I was looking at the truck and really didn't focus on anything else. The overall picture is really amazing!
