Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Spartan 100-------Don't remember hearing of that model gas job. I have an MH 90 diesel. Seems like the model designations are all over the map .

I had at one time (and wish I hadn't gotten rid of it) a 59 Chevy Spartan 10400. Had a factory 348/5 speed/ 2 speed rear combo.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Very low production model, not many around. I believe 1958 was the first year for Budd 10 hole (standard pattern) wheels on Chevy's.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
So was the spartan 100 the next size up from a 90? Like 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100? The largest I've seen is a 90

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
There was a re alignment of model series starting in 1960, so the 100 does not mean it is in the same GVW class as the 90 series in the 60's. 1959 GVW for 2 axle 100 series was 25,000lbs, GVW for 3 axle 100 series was 36,000lbs

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That just verifies the confusion ................35000GVW is pretty normal with 2 axles..........12000 front and 23000 rear. Some of the early gas tandems had a very low rated tandem.
Then, north of the border the model designations are reversed from ours . I'll have to dig out some Canadian spec sheets to verify .. |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
it is a white, does it count as a heavy hauler?
the guy drove it 10 miles on the road to get to a cruise in used by the Israeli army until the mid 90s http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n...803122051a.jpg |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Today they drive the cars down ramps off the ships, but as late as the '70's I remember them being loaded off by a crane, 1 by 1 on a platform. They told me that one day they dropped one.
