Craig Ryan’s 1965 International CO4000: Lookback photos, more
Craig Ryan gives a personal account of his brief time trucking leased to Dart and otherwise hauling bees in the 70s and shares photos of his 1965 International CO4000 cabover.
January 27, 2015
“The Kenworth dealer was right across the street from the Dart terminal in St. Paul, and I used to go over and eye the new K100s all the time. If I’d have been smart I would have taken the money I’d saved and gotten into a better truck, and stayed with Dart running for myself. I guess I just wasn’t mature enough to know the difference yet.” –Craig Ryan on the KW dealer pictured above in the 1970s
