Re: GM Semis
I've never seen one like it. I personally wouldn't like the Auto Trans either, but if the Engine runs good, that's not a bad price.

Re: GM Semis
Goodness, What a thread full of "eye candy". Covers many bases of the loads they haul, too. Nice!

Re: GM Semis
Flyboy... Verify the Allison on that watermelon hauler . If it the medium duty MT 643, it's bulletproof. If it's the smallest AT 545. they've gotten cheap for used units........should be able to get one for 250-300 bucks .
Cheap truck at that price ! |

junkmandan3,
I bought the Champion bus for $1100. It has the 3116 Cat in it. I don't know about the trans yet but I do know the engine and transmission run out great. Shifts feel good and no even a wisp of smoke when you do a full power takeoff. First diesel I have ever owned that I could not get to blow at least some smoke. I followed it home in my Cummins powered Dodge 3500 and never even smelled it. It is turned down real lean I guess. The odometer shows 310K miles. It sure runs out great for that kind of miles. I will get a flashlight and find tags to see what it has. The guy I bought it from knew just about nothing about. No paper work at all. Here is a better picture except I am in it to spoil the view. The tire standing beside it was to try to see what it would look like if I shortened the wheel base. I think I will leave it alone. Air bags on the rear are nice. |

Re: GM Semis
watahyahknow,
You are exactly right. In its former life it was a 15 passenger bus. Guy I bought it from cut it off as the way you see it and hauled watermelons and palm trees in it. |

My 59' Spartan 100, 348, 2 speed rear, full air brakes. Anyone have any more info on these? I could never really find out anything on them.

Re: GM Semis
Beautiful truck. WOW Your post made my day. I looked at an old Reo yesterday. Here in north Florida it is so humid it rusts under a shed. The Reo was just rusted away. The 348 was a fine engine in it's day.

Re: GM Semis
That's a long one. I like them. They do look odd in front of a van body.
I wish I had my camera. I was on I-70 and there as this straight log truck ahead of me gettin' right on up the road with some big trunks for around here. Turned out to be a General. It was in nice condition. He was steady rolling in the left lane. I got along side him and it was quiet. |

Re: GM Semis
Beautiful example of a nice Extended Hood 9500.
Note the optional Cab Lights and there's that cool factory Triple Horn again. Almost a guarantee it's an 8V-71 with those Dual Stacks like it has. Another one that would look real nice in my driveway, lol. Bill |

Re: GM Semis
Odd cab on that one, Did it have a small sleeper at one point?...
|
Re: GM Semis
maibe it used to be a bus and they patched the rear to the cut front
|
Re: GM Semis
It's the very short wheelbase that really throws me off. And what's with the disc like thing right behind the cab too?
|
Re: GM Semis
was looking at that too , cant realy tell if its an tank or a air/mud deflector plate
the wheelbase isnt that short european single rearaxle tractors have about the same length then again most european countries limit the total length of trucks and trailer(s) to 18 meters (about 60Ft) http://screenshots.nl.sftcdn.net/vnl...-nl_img350.jpg |
