Re: GM Semis
When gypsyman see's that pic he'll be over to work out a deal for the GMC he's been trying to get

Re: GM Semis
That sure is a beautiful truck and I bet it sounds as good as it looks.

Re: GM Semis
I don't see too many of the old heavy truck owners working these trucks. At, least not to where the major expensive of converting to modern drivetrain, suspension, etc would be cost effective. These things are restored out of love. The shows aren't judged, so no trophies. And they drive them cross-country just to be seen. It's starting to change, but for the most part these trucks don't bring any kind of money close to what is in them. Then, there are those who are just as much a man as the ones who drove trucks before comfort became a requirement.

Re: GM Semis
Just clean it up and leave it in it's original livery. It's nice to see these old jewels in "as found" appearance .
|
Re: GM Semis
I like that "Veteran of the Road" look too. It's an earned look. That black and red one is gorgeous. I look at that and I see the ultimate street rod, and it's basically factory stock. More like a mild custom or personalized, yet all the ingredients of a street rod in my book.

Re: GM Semis

Simon Auto Wrecking, 22 Tilly Foster Road, Brewster NY 10509
It's a Craigslist ad that i found. Opposite side of the world from me but I thought someone on the other coast might take a look at her. Hope this doesn't violate any board rules. |
Re: GM Semis
I remember seeing that GMC 750 a month ago in Craigslist, some place in North Jersey?, I think they wanted $850

The old GMC rides again. Although backwards. :lol:
|
Re: GM Semis
Woo hoo!!!, congratulations!!! Glad you got it!. You need to start your own thread with it to keep us updated.
What's your first plan of attack? |
Re: GM Semis
Chase the bugs and critters out. Go over the engine to see if it's safe to start. Fire it up if it is. Go thru the brakes and fluids. Temporary floor pan, temporary seat, and test drive the beast!
If that all shakes out good I'll work up a plan of attack and down to the frame she goes for restoration. Might have found a parts trucks too. Fingers crossed on that one. =) |
Re: GM Semis
Glad to see you got it.
As mentioned, keep us posted on it. |
Re: GM Semis
Woo-HOOO! Another one on the path towards resurrection!
Dangit, I just looked and you're on the other side of the state from me, I'd love to see that truck. :D |
Re: GM Semis
If you're ever over on this side you're welcome to come by the shop anytime. The doors are always open. =)

Re: GM Semis
Great news to hear. I wish I was you :lol:

Re: GM Semis
Pacarhauler pic, we where wondering what year she could be.

Re: GM Semis
67-72 , but maybe all years didn't offer the 427 as a medium truck engine .
I have a "cherry" cab with the same front clip available in upstate eastern NY. Early service was a fire truck, then served in street maintenance dept . It has the flared front fenders, like pictured. PM me if interested ! |
Re: GM Semis
From what I can see, I can narrow it down to 70-72. It lacks the '69-style clearance lamps, but they could be changed, so maybe '69 is possible. Not sure on years of engine options
|
Re: GM Semis
Also, I would need to research it, but weren't the Heavier Trucks up to '69 the "E" Series ?
BTW, it is a GMC with it's Letters missing on the grille. |

Re: GM Semis
Cracker Box Flatbed. Cool truck.
Dual Stacks to boot. |
Re: GM Semis
kindah suprized they ran those exhaust stacks so close to the hay
wouldve figured they would run the exhaust underneath the flatbed to prevent firehazzards |

Re: GM Semis
I've got a few GMC brochures from Motor Inn Auto Co. in upstate NY that I bought at Hershey or Macungie. Kind of nostalgic, as our farm was 10 miles away and I'd visit the dealership and dream as a teenager. They were Olds/GMC dealers through the 50s, it's the village firehouse now.

Still waiting to get to Sykesville, [and of course Mt. Airy] when my older sis gets back from Florida. We haven't been your way since Christmas 2014. Also gotta see the progress on Billy Marlow's 860 .
