re: toy trucks

["Richard Knack" <birdman@domain.elided>]

Speaking of toy trucks, when I was a little kid my dad used to work for an
IHC dealer as a mechanic (this was about 1972-1973). Dad or his boss
occasionally gave me IH toys at Christmas time. If I remember right, they're
all Ertl made. I have a Loadstar stakeside truck, a big farm tractor of
some kind with a covered cab, a hay baler and manure spreader that hook onto
the big tractor, and an IH Cub Cadet lawn tractor. Don't know what any of
them are worth, but I wouldn't part with them for anything.
