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
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 |
