Me neither, but it sure looked like somewhere in LA. I spy a round fender hay hauler coming at us.

How about a visually appealing General? photographed outside of the Pontiac medium duty truck plant. I think the General in this photo looks a lot better with dual air cleaners instead of the one you usually always see them with. I do not have any facts on this but, I read on another group that this possibly had the 8v92 unfortunately with an Allison.

That thing sure has a lot of fuel on board! |
Re: GM Semis
Bob,
I don't believe they put any 12V-92's in the General or Bison. If I'm correct, was that because of fuel mileage back in the mid '70's? |

I dont believe I've seen a 12v92 in any highway truck. These fellers did 16v71 in a cab over. https://youtu.be/bCUpjlYm1NA |

Re: GM Semis
Great looking truck.
Cool idea to have Mirrors on the Guide Poles. My '62 had the Poles, but no Mirrors. |

Can I take my pick? Ok, get all those 4-wheelers unloaded so I can get back home :lol:
No, seriously, I'd have to say I can't decide so how about I just take it all |
Re: GM Semis
As much as I like the Trucks and I wouldn't mind the Corvette, I'll take the '62 Impala. Hopefully it's a 409, 4-Speed, lol.

Re: GM Semis
Would have been great parts trucks for sure.
They were all '66 or '67's. Looks like the Red one could have been a Toro-Flow. |

So, the OEM never gets involved in damaged vehicles after they leave the factory. Generally salvage yards buy all this kind of stuff from the carrier's insurance company. Whether they can be rebuilt or used for parts is probably a case-by-case situation. As you said, a lot of good parts to had there. There are probably some laws about salvage titles. A customer would want to know the complete story behind their new zero-mileage car that maybe is not all that new. I recently passed an auto salvage yard in Long Beach, CA right next to the docks where ships discharge cars coming from Asia. That day they were using fork trucks to unload dozens of brand new cars with body damage on every side. They had been on a ship that was caught in a BAD storm and had all slammed into each other on the decks. They get tied down to the deck but it's not real tight and they park them close together to maximize space. It's a risk they take and sometimes lose. I've also heard stories of rail cars in Mexico getting broken into by groups who dismantle the autos while riding in the enclosed rail cars. At designated spots they throw wheels, seats, air bags, etc off to other groups on the ground. |
