The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum received a 1983 Ford Model 8000 cabover tractor from Con-way Freight Tuesday. The truck, which has been completely restored, was the first truck used by Con-way when the company began in 1983. The truck’s first driver, Dick Heyob, and Con-way executives donated it in a Tuesday ceremony. The truck will be displayed at a permanent exhibit in Iowa 80.
