Located next door to the Iowa 80 truck stop is the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum. Iowa 80 Trucking Museum Attached are just a few pictures of what I estimated to be about 70 or 80 trucks on display in the museum. Admission is by donation. There is a small theater showing a continuous loop movie. I didn't have time for the movie but next visit will include the show.

All of the trucks are roped off/no touch and none offered a view of the interior, except for the very early models that never had doors. There are 3 beautifully restored "B" model Macks, one with a factory sleeper. I'm particularly fond of "B" models. I took my class A road test in a 1957 single axle "B" with a triplex.

The Duel truck was in a collection in or around St Louis. I remember reading a story about a guy buying it in the last few years. Think he took it east.

It is a little off the beaten track but IK went to another truck museum in Cherryville NC. It was home to now closed down Carolina Trucking. All the trucks are from that truck line. I don't know if it is still open. Jerry Lee
