[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1814898, member: 40587"] [ATTACH type="full"]33649[/ATTACH] Jake Iles of Mount Pleasant, Iowa bought this 1934 GMC T-23 B truck and stock trailer new for $2,300 and used it to move cattle all over the state. He was the sole owner of this truck and trailer until it went to the Iowa 80 Trucking museum, the provider of this post. This truck is unusual since it has a sleeper cab. The doors are angled back from the narrower front end to the wider sleeper. The trailer was also made by GMC. The T-23 B had a 3-ton rating and mechanical brakes. Since the truck didn't have air-ride seats you would constantly be bouncing around. Your feet would vibrate, and your arms would shake trying to hold the steering wheel. If you were picking up a load of cattle, chances were the farmer didn't have a gravel driveway; it would have been more like a rutted, dirt path. After loading cattle you had to drive long distances to the market at no more than 35 miles per hour. [/QUOTE]
