Re: GM Semis
Yes, the 4-53 was available in Chevy and GMC C series mediums from 1978 to about half-way through 1980, when it was replaced by the Detroit 8.2L. There was a lumberyard near me that had a few C-6500's with 4-53T's in them. Man they were noisy, sounded like they were going about twice as fast as they actually were.

Nice looking 7500 Tandem.
It's either a '68 or '69. |

Re: GM Semis
An Astro 95 with a KT 450 Cummins. Wonder how many of those were built.

At least one, and probably one of one. |

Isn't that orange dump gorgeous? Sure is sharp anyway
The Cummins KT is a well respected engine for sure. Sure seems odd to see an Astro run one. That Mayflower gas job is hard to imagine these days. Twin tanks on this side. I wonder about the other side. I wish I could see a picture of this Budweiser boat hauler |

This is for C10-C90 Bill, special-k, KQQL-IT, and factorystock. I hope the rest of you enjoy it as well:

Re: GM Semis
Both of you guys have really gotten a great group of pictures together here. Better than great. I'm just not feeling creative :cool:. Great observations and knowledge, too, Bob. Did anyone else notice the trash can? :lol: (not impressed?)
Such variation in models. I have seen those pictures before and they really show how GM was REALLY building trucks. Such variation. The fat cabs were retained for some with both new front ends and old, and there was even the fleet model in the lighter trucks. I love that era or GMC Truck |

Re: GM Semis
Yes, 348 and 409 'High Torque' truck engines were painted silver grey and some of the truck small blocks were green. Nice assembly line shot of E and H models.
Like the truck 'mug shots', particularly the rare 'fleet option' light duties. |
Re: GM Semis
Five-Ten Budds on the Green GMC. Could be a 5500. I like the Yellow 9500. I believe I see a Diesel Emblem on the side of the hood. Most likely a 6-71. Trucks are either a '66 or '67.

Re: GM Semis
I believe my '62 6500 had an Eaton 2-Speed. I can remember "Eaton" on the button. As much as I'm not a fan of 2-Speeds, that is one tough rear. I would split shift a lot and one day I was hauling a heavy load of bricks up a steep hill. I shifted the rear into low range and for the first and only time ever, it mis-shifted. The whole truck shook a continuous violent bang-bang-bang until I stopped. I was expecting the rear to have chipped gears if not completely blown out. I shifted it a time or two standing still and took off again in low range. Turned out to be just fine. Worked perfectly from that day on.

Ran a C60 with 366 and 5 x 2 I thought the top 4 pattern was neat. It split 4L 5L to 4H 5H always pretended it was a 13spd |
