Re: GM Semis
Yeah, those Triple Factory Horns are pretty interesting. My Twin Standards are pretty loud, I can just imagine what they sound like. I also see it has the heavy style Cab Lights as well. Cool to have the usual 8V-71. Was the Road Ranger a 13 Speed?

Re: GM Semis
Truck looks real nice.
Is that the project that has the 13-Speed Road Ranger in it? |
Re: GM Semis
I can't remember.
Walked around a corner a the show in Clovis and there it was. |

Re: GM Semis
The cannonball owned by Mr. Wells in pic # 807 originally had a Twin Hydramatic transmission . 7 speeds with a healthy overdrive . It was sold around Denver about 20 years ago, driven to Ontario, Canada. Some time later the fluid coupling[as it didn't have a torque converter] had a problem . It got to Port Clinton, Ohio to a car transmission repair shop, found some fins off the fluid coupling and no parts available . We hauled it to Twinsburg, Oh and proceeded to convert it to a 13 speed. Whoever was the advisor on the transmission selection, should have spec'd a double overdrive because it would only run 53 MPH . Canadian owner got disgusted and sold it to an acquaintance in Avon, OH , who resold it to Mr. Wells .

Re: GM Semis
I never knew they made an Auto Trans in a truck that old. Funny to think that I could have been cussing them back then, lol. My company mechanic would mention Autos to me back in the '70's and I thought that was early !!

Re: GM Semis
i did had some posters in my room when i was about 12 or so from allison automatics for big rigs so 70's is pretty close to wat that mecanic was mentioning
then again : http://forums.aths.org/Uploads/Image...-acd0-9f9e.jpg allways wondered if it was possible to connect one automatic transmission behind another , did some benchracing about it and figured the biggest problem after the space under the car would be building up oilpressure in the second trans main reason i thught about it at the time was because the 4 speed automatics coulnt take the amount of horsepower i was figuring on (cheaply) was thinking on two powerglides in series or a th400 with a full manual powerglide behind that kindah like a gearvendor setup |

Re: GM Semis
Bales are 7 high shouldn't be too terribly tall.
Trucks is a '48 and lives today. |
Re: GM Semis
trucks like that usually only see action during a sertan time of year (like during harvest) and then only drive locally
there fine for that , wouldnt ant to drive them long distance nowadays as my back would be crying and my kidneys and ears bleeding after the first 3 hours or so |

Re: GM Semis
Like the Conventional Cab one. Don't remember ever seeing one like it, but it's pretty cool.

Re: GM Semis
Crown Steel used to make the cabs for Mack and White Motor Co. 50 miles down the road.
Allison released automatic transmissions for trucks in 1957, but prior to that had planetary power shift transmissions that were used off highway. The early MT 40,41,42 had front and rear pumps so could be push started.They normally started in 3rd gear...................unless the driver selected the 1-2 position. The HT 70 was similar, but bigger and could be behind 8V71, 350 Cummins, but Allison always had an input torque limit . GMC used the Hydramatic car 4 speed in medium trucks in 54, possibly '53 . |
Re: GM Semis
I think the Hydramatic first appeared in these M135/M211 GMCs built for the military starting in 1951. When I was in the army (1966/67) most were used for driver training or Nat'l Guard. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3896/...5e375ef5_b.jpgXM211, 1952 (GMC) by PAcarhauler, on Flickr

Re: GM Semis
Sure is load of gold there, including the truck hauling it.

Re: GM Semis
Good stuff indeed!, I like the red Autocar, Wondering what's powering the early Autocar with the later chassis/rears, Cool trucks.

Re: GM Semis
Great picture.
The truck looks fairly new. Bill |
Re: GM Semis
Do the C40 and up follow the pickup cabs. Look like that is a 64-66 cab?
Or where behind a bit |
Re: GM Semis
Right, that is basically the same as a Pick-Up Cab. Many of the parts will interchange.
Bill |
Re: GM Semis
I thought that was the case. Just was curious if the years followed the pickups.
60-63 64-66 and so on. |
Re: GM Semis
Right, they followed the same style Cab in year models. Same with '67 to '72, a C-70 Medium has basically the same Cab as a C-10.
