Re: GM Semis
Like the Conventional Cab one. Don't remember ever seeing one like it, but it's pretty cool.

Re: GM Semis
Crown Steel used to make the cabs for Mack and White Motor Co. 50 miles down the road.
Allison released automatic transmissions for trucks in 1957, but prior to that had planetary power shift transmissions that were used off highway. The early MT 40,41,42 had front and rear pumps so could be push started.They normally started in 3rd gear...................unless the driver selected the 1-2 position. The HT 70 was similar, but bigger and could be behind 8V71, 350 Cummins, but Allison always had an input torque limit . GMC used the Hydramatic car 4 speed in medium trucks in 54, possibly '53 . |
Re: GM Semis
I think the Hydramatic first appeared in these M135/M211 GMCs built for the military starting in 1951. When I was in the army (1966/67) most were used for driver training or Nat'l Guard. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3896/...5e375ef5_b.jpgXM211, 1952 (GMC) by PAcarhauler, on Flickr

Great picture.
The truck looks fairly new. Bill |
Re: GM Semis
Do the C40 and up follow the pickup cabs. Look like that is a 64-66 cab?
Or where behind a bit |
Re: GM Semis
Right, that is basically the same as a Pick-Up Cab. Many of the parts will interchange.
Bill |
Re: GM Semis
I thought that was the case. Just was curious if the years followed the pickups.
60-63 64-66 and so on. |
Re: GM Semis
Right, they followed the same style Cab in year models. Same with '67 to '72, a C-70 Medium has basically the same Cab as a C-10.

GMC 860s, 1959s?
Hope this isn't a repost |
Re: GM Semis
I had the hots for 860s so bad about 25 years ago, then my lust switched to the early '50s fat cabs. So I bought two 503 gas powered and one with 4-71 GM diesel. Now I have none .

Re: GM Semis
You still have an MH or two, I believe ??

Re: GM Semis
The DR-860 was actually built through 1962. Reason I was told was because the 860 had the 6-71 inline Detroit, and the DB-7000 which was supposed to replace the 860 had the 6V-71 V-6. The 6V-71 had cooling problems early on and a lot of fleets still wanted the 6-71, so the 860 stayed around until the DBI-7000 came out which had the 6-71. Junkmandan, does that sound right to you?

What-----------When you see the big hubs on front wheels, it's usually a product of Marmon-Harrington from Colorado or Howe-Coleman out of upstate New York.
