Was that Futureliner built as a tractor, or has it been modified?

Re: GM Semis
prolly would make a nice RV as whell if you put the body on a bus chassis
had seen a big website on the last futureliner that was restored , seems there still a few around but not in a restorable condition http://www.futurliner.org/resto/resto_1.htm |
Re: GM Semis
Looks like that Futureliner may be on a different chassis. Should have dual wheels in front and the rear axle looks to be too far farward. Too bad it got cut up but then again maybe the mid section was unsavable.

This is Futurliner No. 5, which was converted to be a vehicle carrier and is the only example of the nine remaining to have been restored for such duty. The original engine was replaced with a more potent NTC 855/230 HP Cummins diesel with an Allison 600-series 6-speed transmission. Painted in proper GM Futurliner Parade of Progress colors, this vehicle carrier features a 29-foot bed with rear clamshell access doors, wooden load floors and hidden folding hydraulic ramps. The original cab has been modified as a tilting cab. Modern 20,000-lb air-sprung front and rear axles support the vehicle. Featuring a train horn, 240-volt flood lights, a 12,500 Watt Onan generator, a 200 gallon fuel capacity and air conditioning it would be difficult to find a more unique way to take a car to a car show. |
Re: GM Semis
Thanks, great info.

Re: GM Semis
why did they quit making gm semis?
|
Re: GM Semis
Probably not competitive enough. Cheaper to sell tooling to a company or split of to another branch

Re: GM Semis
I would say there was probably some dealer support issues and possibly some labor issues such as those that shut down Brockway. That being said remember White/GMC, Volvo/White. Seems like it got phased out rather than just stopped.
