Still a world more complicated than a Road Ranger. I've got a twin stick White, and a 1964 I-H with a 10 speed Road Ranger, and man is the International simpler to drive!
Still super cool. I wonder if any of the SV trucks survived somewhere? Because that would be a really, really cool thing to have preserved IMHO. Makes sense that they would have bought Peterbuilts, because Pererman was a logger who bought Faegol to built his own logging trucks in 1939. I'm quite sure the owners of the logging companies were all pretty familiar with each other in that part of the country.
