Beautiful truck.

Looks like it is a 6500 Model which will have the 478 V-6.

This truck is either a '62 or '63.

As some will remember I used to drive a '62 6500.

Would love to know what kind of trans it has.

Some of these trucks had 8-Speed Road Rangers.

Mine was a 5-Speed, 2-Speed.

I used to read the Owners Manual during coffee breaks, lol.

What does the text under the picture say? It's too small for me to read.

Great picture. I wonder what first this was, trucks over pickup size? Notice the trucks didn't come with clearance lamps

First trucks delivered by trailer in US, April 1947 by Western auto trans Flint Michigan to Los Angeles

one of the only good things about these smartphones, you can pan the picture to use as a magnifying glass

I'm surprised he put his name right there on the door in plain view for all to see!!
He sure had that truck nice. man, I love a well cared for truck. Especially a well outfitted truck built to suit, with the right personal touches.

Nice truck loads of Classics. In the upper picture with the 56's, there is everything from a 150 Model to a Bel-Air, including a very rare '56 4-Dr HT 210 Model.

The trucks are cool too, lol.

Nice looking heavy truck.

Pretty different to see only 6 Lugs holding on the Rear Duals.

Re: GM Semis
 

What's a six lug steer good for 7500 lbs or 10k ?

A friend sent me the pic, he knows my taste in old Jimmys

Re: GM Semis
 

Not really sure, but I know a lot of Medium Duty trucks had 5-10's.

5 Lugs on the Front and 10 Lugs on the Rears.

Re: GM Semis
 

I drove a '89 C-60 with 19.5's like that.
Always wanted to make the front 10 lug

That's a cool pic

Re: GM Semis
 

Yeah, looks like a couple of brand new 7500's.

They are either '68's or '69's.

Re: GM Semis
 

It's big enough that I notice the fuel fill door open on the one. That makes me think someone was stealing gas. Then, I think that would be the hardest one and I wonder if it was the last one. I never would have wondered all that if the picture wasn't so big :lol:

Re: GM Semis
 

Actually they blow open all the time on #1 spot.
BMWs and Beetles gas door will blow completely off.
Apparently going backwards at 70 mph wasn't engineered.

Re: GM Semis
 

Oh bedliners, tonneau covers, rear windows, a trunk full of brake rotors and even a drives shaft....

Re: GM Semis
 

Back when homes had 550 and up gallon heating oil tanks. My neighbor has an old 1500 gallon, boy does he have sludge problems...

Re: GM Semis
 

Never considered that on the gas doors. I bought a truck from San Diego that was hauled on a flatbed. In OK they had some crazy wind that tore the bedliner out. They had just installed it before loading. It still had a brand new tailgate liner.
I bet
