I was looking through some of the current pictures of old dealerships and found this one.

Even that site is missing any info on Campbell that was in Bristol Va for a long time. Had a huge outfit, selling light duty up to road tractors. And a full service truck stop called Truck Town USA. There was another IH dealer near down Bristol, a much older building, i don't think it was owned by the same family. You can still make out the old International painted on the brick

heff Was Goodpasture not also a dealership that sold small and large IHs in VA? I've bought alot of heavy truck parts from them but was thinking I saw a pic in there once of a new 70s scout on their lot!!? Just wondering

Locally, the New Holland dealership is in the old JO Stickley IH building. I do a lot of decals and sign work for them, so I will have to snap a picture of the Scout in front of it next time I'm there. Still has the pylon on the roof, and is fairly easily recognizable.

Goodpasture is still still there. I'm not sure if they sold light line trucks, or only serviced them. Campbells moved from the old location in bristol, to a spot that is closer to Abingdon. They did sell light line, so i doubt there were two places competing for sales because Goodpasture is less 5 miles from Campbell. When I was doing truck service, the safety man at that place worked at Campbell in the 70s, and said he remembered replacing quarter panels on new Scout IIs that would rust on the lot...this was in the late 70s. By that time Campbell was selling Ford trucks, then cars, then Renault cars and Ford trucks and cars.
