The fire truck looks like it’s in amazing shape. Gotta admit I’m a sucker for the larger trucks, especially 4x4/6x6… |

I grew up helping my late Grandfather run & repair Detroit 2-strokes…I vividly remember as a teenager in the 1970s when he was working on an 8V71, barring it over to run the rack, and it fired up and ran!! The ratchet luckily just stuck to the front crank bolt and unscrewed it…I had visions of the ratchet going through the radiator or worse. From then on he engaged fuel or air shut-offs before barring anything over, and I do the same to this day! Obviously we didn’t work in a factory-authorized repair center…. |

Re: GM Semis
GMC Fire Truck looks good. It's a '66 along with nice Wide Front Fenders. Did you catch what model it was? 4000? 5000?

Re: GM Semis
I'll bet that fire truck is a 'factory' KV4000. It's definately a '66, notice how the 'GMC' script on the emblems and grille is the newer square style still used today, not the curved type they used from '60 to '65.

'62 or '63

Re: GM Semis
Wish I could see the Front Bumper better, but it very well could be a 6500.

Wasn't sure what thread to put this in but, since the main trucks featured here are from GM here goes.
Back in the day instead of Richard Petty battling Dale Earnhardt, Buddy Baker and, Cale Yarbrough, there was another series out there in the United States where Jimmy's were battling against Whites, Petes, Frieghtshakers, Husky's and, Kennys. Here are some photos from back in the day that I found online. Apparently they got banned from one of the NASCAR tracks because the weight of the semis tore up the surface of the track too badly. |
Re: GM Semis
I never got to watch one of those races. I have watched a video about that gal who raced them. She was a tough cookie.
That Tilt Cab is exceptional. Neat to see one so heavy. Dual tanks would be a must, but there is a big reserve tank out back |
