Below are some photos of a set of five R-series trucks, R-185s and R-190s.

Below are five early 1950s R-185s and R-190s in northeastern Santa Barbara County, California I just saw for the first time on 26 April 2007, in the old town of Cuyama, east of New Cuyama, along State Route 166. There is a box, a dump, two 5th-wheel tractors, and one rigged for towing or winching. There was a wild House Cat living in the cab of one of them, which I startled. Unfortunately, a return visit to these trucks a month later in late May found them gone! I can find no trace of them in the area.
