Well, I came up on 2-ties so that's what I'm used to. Mostly, I like the way they stack on an old hay truck/trailer. They are "era-correct" :lol:

Re: GM Semis
 
:lol: I'd buy that. Same here on the 2-tie, when my cousin and I were 14 or so my dad and my uncle had the conversation of "we need to teach these boys a day's work"...no regrets.

You do find some awesome hay haulers. By the 90s when I was farming everything was Pete/KW, I didn't get to experience anything like the vintage iron you post.

That's is a 352H, big power option with a taller cab for more radiator.
The newest it could be is '81 and I think has a 3408 for power.

But the 362 was built until 03 or 4 had similar windshields

I was wondering if it was a White or other make. I guess it is a very early flat front KW

Awesome, are those driving lights fixed on the newer GMC's front suspension beam?

Looks like they're hanging from the bumper.

Once you asked, Panelman, I did think it looked like that pair of Perluxes could be mounted on the axle. But we know that wouldn't make sense :cool:. Thanks for the great pictures, KQQL IT.

Thanks, I really like the Detroit slobber on the Hay too

Wrecks are part of this deal too.

Might not be hurt that bad. I see "Webb/Marlo Heights, Md" on the door of the Crackerbox. I think they hauled brick/masonry products.

10 axles ain't bad for a 6-71 ! And when the V-12s took over they had 13 axles, now they limit 'em to 11 axles.

That's got to be quite a load there. I look at that picture and wish I was there to watch (and hear) him get those wheels up to speed. It doesn't take much to visualize it. I feel lucky to have lived during those trucks' time

When we would travel back to Virginia going through Pennsylvania back in the 80's and 90's, we would stop at a restaurant that was at the bottom of a long hill. Detroits were everywhere climbing that long hill with full loads. I would always suggest to have lunch there for some reason, lol.

They do exist! (M&M commercial) Seriously, every one of these I see makes me feel happy another exists out there. It gives more hope that one day maybe one could be mine.

Is the side marker on the hood an add on?

It definitely is not original. It looks like one from a pick-up.
