Luverne Mfg.  Nice quality stuff.  I think they have moved some of their
operation to nearby Brandon(Sioux Falls), SD.  I lived in Brandon and
worked in Sioux Falls from '93-'95.  When were you there?  

Luverne was one of the first words I read.  Think 4 feet tall, learning
to read, what is near eye level?  Bumpers.  Our '72 Chevy pickup had a
Luverne rear bumper, the kind that allows you to drop the tailgate
straight down do you can back up to a loading chute to load and unload
hogs. 'Course I was a big Laverne and Shirley fan too.  I think that was
one of the last pickups in the area with a stock rack.  We were cool<g>

Ed, 
I remember a plant in Luverne, MN that made truck 
accessories (name?). I applied for a job there years ago when I
lived in a little town called Ellsworth, MN, 
not far from Rock Rapids, IA. 
My son was born in Luverne, MN.  :~)

I had no IH trucks when I lived there. :`(
