How far is Omaha from Blair?

Route 30 is the 3rd longest highway in the US, behind routes 20 and 6.
US-30 and US-75 intersect in Blair, Nebraska. US-6 intersects US-75 about 20 miles south of there in Omaha. US-73 now ends where it intersects with US-75 about 75 miles south of Omaha.

At least that's what Google Earth says.

Obviously road designations have changed over the years.

Jim,
I pick and choose. I usually one select pics that have Ford content. I'll also choose early heavy trucks and delivery trucks of any make and anything a bit unusual.
This is the site where I swipe most of the pics;

Some pictures I found as I was on my desktop. I do not know if these were shown before, but they are worth seeing again if they were.
