(Words and Photos by Jim Hrody) For 2022, the American Truck Historical Society hosted its annual convention & truck show at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield, Illinois. Trucks of all sizes and eras were distributed throughout the grounds, roughly a thousand of them. Even a few farm tractors snuck in under the guise of flatbed cargo.<\/p>\n
As to be expected, all current truck brands were well represented. But wasn\u2019t expecting the relatively high count of the dead brands such as Hendrickson, Marmon, Diamond Reo, Diamond T, and even a few Studebakers. In the words of Snowman in Smokey and the Bandit II\u2014 \u201cWell, then I must be commode-hangin\u2019 drunk, cuz I see a ton of trucks\u201d.<\/p>\n
