UPS also used some of this trucks, I have a neat model of one, used by several furniture companies also on the east coast.

May Flower here on Long Island had a few when I was small, was always fascinated by them. Paul

Looks like a good spot for a Hall Scott pancake motor.

Same engine they ran in buses, a Cummins Pancake Bus Engine NHH 220

In chassis or frame that says r-190, does that mean they used a 175" wheelbase IH r-190 for part of the chassis and drivetrains to build those?

They used the basicly complete R-190 175" chassis with an almost mid mounted Cummins NHH-220 for power on the later ones. This has only a sub frame

anyone have a pic of the bare frame layout....sounds interesting....and good for MT traction....put some weight on the drives at least

also just noticed the dual tire setup on the steer axle.....weird....

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

IThere is no chassis as such, it has a sub frame that carries the I.H axles and power pack. The balance it basic Freuhauf trailer.
