IH Paystar 5000

This however is not your typical fish truck. It was carrying fish boxes of wet (i.e. fresh) fish, just unloaded from trawlers and to be transported without delay to a distant fish plant. A very sharp International Harvester Paystar 5000, it had the industrial style checkerplate fenders, set back axle and high flotation tires. When not hauling fish, this truck would carry new wooden fish barrels, built by its owners in Chester Basin, NS. Seen on the Halifax waterfront May 1982.
