Beside the infamous Iowa 80 truckstop is the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum. The trucks on display are mostly from the Bill Moon collection. The late Bill Moon was the founder of the Iowa 80 truckstop. However, other collectors do display their trucks on loan to the museum. The trucks on display are periodically rotated. I have been to the museum twice this year. I know some of you may never get to see it, so I thought I would share the trucks with you. There is a theater, playing old truck documentary films, and a gift shop. Admission is free, but they do take donations. If you plan to go, it's in Walcott, IA. I 80, exit 284. It's just north of the truck entry/exit drive to the Iowa 80 TA truckstop. I hope you enjoy the pix. Click the link below the pix. Mack and flatbed trailer Click here to see my album. s206.photobucket.com/albums/bb174/flatbedkw/Iowa%2080%20Trucking%20museum/

A big thank you for putting up these photo's. I have enjoyed going through them and I'm sure most of the trucks in the museum I will never get to see them for real.
Thank you once again.
Cheers
John

This is the result of 2 visits. I went back months later as I forgot to photograph one truck. Upon walking in, I saw several trucks had been changed. I will visit periodically to update the trucks if possible.
