Three years ago, I happened to spot this truck in an open barn while driving down the road. It caught my eye because it originally belonged to my family's Case implement dealership and was painted in JI Case colors (it had been sold when the business closed in 1978). I later made contact with the owner, and ended up driving it home six months later. It is a 1968 TE50 Tilt-Cab with a 327 V8 (later rebuilt into a 350), a four-speed New Process transmission, a two-speed rear axle, and a Mid Equipment roll-back bed. The truck was originally purchased for delivering tractors and equipment. It is esssentialy original and still runs well. In the photo, it is carrying two Case tractors (a 1945 VAC and a 1949 SC, both originally sold by our dealership).
