panzer 0 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Hey there to all the members I just joined this site last week in hopes of finding a certain truck I want. I’ve been looking for a IH truck that’s been called more names then Hillary Clinton, i think it’s called a steel hauling truck they have a hatch top roof for access when loaded I’ve also heard it called a one man cab truck or pipe truck or solo man truck or hatch roof truck etc, whatever it’s called I want one anybody know where one is sitting ideally I’d like a older rounder cab diesel model, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevingweq 179 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 That is just the neatest thing ! Good Luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lightninboy 447 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'm aware of the type of truck. I don't think I've ever seen one in person. Keep checking the internet and one will probably turn up for sale eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lorenzo 13,962 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 There are two of those still in use at a steel company in Nebraska. They use them everyday. I asked about them a few months ago and they are not for sale. Perhaps someday . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oleman 699 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Isn't that model about the same as a currently built narrow cab yard tractor? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

panzer 0 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hey there thanks for the positive input I think I’ve narrowed it down ( no pun) included to the R190 series 1968 or older I think 1969 they were bringing in the loadstars. I might be looking for that needle in the hay stack. To mike yea your right it’s gonna be tight they should have called it the ugly wife cab or divorce cab. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FarmallMMark 47 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Most of the local steel trucks that are IH around here, are offset to driver side S-series trucks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
panzer 0 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 2 more pictures of these one man cabs. Really like the butterfly hood on the 190 cab Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob30 8 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I think I remember seeing an R 190 series with the narrow cab, very much like the one in your picture at Stew Paquette's Farmall museum in Florida. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Craig smith 0 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I know where one is sitting I just don't know if it's being used sorts looks like it isn't ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R Pope 276 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I saw one in a lumber mill yard in BC that had the roof cut off! With all the rain out there I didn't think that was a good idea, bit maybe the load shifted and wrecked the cab. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jeffrob 0 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi everyone! In Australia we called them island cabs. They went out of fashion long ago, and we just use conventional trucks now. The photo of the R190 sure is interesting! Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie B 17 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Never seen the cab, but the most beautiful IH grill ever. I've always loved them. Local IH tractor dealer had several trucks, only one with that grill. Theirs was a blower body grain truck. It delivered grain to 70 farms locally for 25 years.

hardtail 522 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I was at a farm equipment sale a decade ago that had one, I might have pictures on an old computer, can't recall what it sold for, the guy had some IH crawlers, his brother had probably one of the cleanest TD 18 182 that I have ever seen a few miles away that was not for sale back then. The steel suppliers still have them but much newer vintage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
