Exhibits
The Iowa 80 Trucking Museum collection was started by Iowa 80 Truckstop founder, Bill Moon. Bill Moon had a passion for trucks and was always looking for a new truck or trucking artifacts to add to his collection. There are now over 100 antique trucks on display in the museum. We also have 304 original petroliana signs and 24 vintage gas pumps.

Truck of the Month
- Mack B series trucks were very popular during their time. From 1953 to 1966, Mack produced nearly 128,000 of these trucks. The rounded hood and fenders would go on to set a new standard of truck styling.
- The same year that Mack began producing their B model trucks, they introduced END Thermodyne engines which feature an open-chamber, direct fuel-injection system. Around 80% of Mack trucks made from 1953 until 1966 – including this 1960 Mack B 61 ST – were equipped with this engine.
- This truck is one of six ordered by Ecoff Trucking of Indianapolis, Indiana to haul acid.
- This truck has an uncommon integral sleeper cab.
- Cochran was still using this truck for his business when Iowa 80 purchased it in 1990.
