Lmackattack Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I'm trying to recall my trip to walcott IA back in 2006? Did bisom truck lines have a cruiseliner or superliner set up so a disabled driver could enter and exit the cab. I know mike Harbison would know Thank you 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74406-bisom-truck-lines-newton-ia/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry T Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 They do have a Superliner set up with a lift on the right side for a disabled driver. I think I first saw it at Auburn, IN at the ATHS convention. I don't know if it was at South Bend but I also saw it at Mike Harbison's benefit but I don't have a picture of the right side of it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74406-bisom-truck-lines-newton-ia/#findComment-556535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 I remember the lift, but not which truck. I only remember their burgundy B model. It is without a doubt my first favorite B model. I forget where I saw it in person? Auburn or South bend? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mattb73lt Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I do remember an article about a cab over some years ago. Modified with a lift to bring it's driver and the whole wheelchair up, then into the cab. the driver remained in his chair while behind the wheel. Did the Bisom line also have a nicely restored, twin screw B model with a sleeper on it, maroon in color? I seem to remember one from about 20 years ago at one of the national shows. It was very nicely done. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74406-bisom-truck-lines-newton-ia/#findComment-556732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I see bison trucks all the time on 80. I don’t know if it’s the same company. They usually don’t have anything going down the road that is very exciting. I think their trucks are tan colored. And they don’t run very fast, maybe 62 or 63 usually wind up passing them at 67 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74406-bisom-truck-lines-newton-ia/#findComment-560446 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 The name is actually Bisom, not Bison. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

mowerman Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 OK, thanks for that. I didn’t even notice there was an M at the end. I didn’t think it was the same company. This outfit looks about as gypo as you can get.

Freightrain Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 I used to think it was Bison also. You don't catch the "M" at the end without having to really look. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
