Re: GM Semis
Goodness, What a thread full of "eye candy". Covers many bases of the loads they haul, too. Nice!

Re: GM Semis
Flyboy... Verify the Allison on that watermelon hauler . If it the medium duty MT 643, it's bulletproof. If it's the smallest AT 545. they've gotten cheap for used units........should be able to get one for 250-300 bucks .
Cheap truck at that price ! |

junkmandan3,
I bought the Champion bus for $1100. It has the 3116 Cat in it. I don't know about the trans yet but I do know the engine and transmission run out great. Shifts feel good and no even a wisp of smoke when you do a full power takeoff. First diesel I have ever owned that I could not get to blow at least some smoke. I followed it home in my Cummins powered Dodge 3500 and never even smelled it. It is turned down real lean I guess. The odometer shows 310K miles. It sure runs out great for that kind of miles. I will get a flashlight and find tags to see what it has. The guy I bought it from knew just about nothing about. No paper work at all. Here is a better picture except I am in it to spoil the view. The tire standing beside it was to try to see what it would look like if I shortened the wheel base. I think I will leave it alone. Air bags on the rear are nice. |

Re: GM Semis
watahyahknow,
You are exactly right. In its former life it was a 15 passenger bus. Guy I bought it from cut it off as the way you see it and hauled watermelons and palm trees in it. |

My 59' Spartan 100, 348, 2 speed rear, full air brakes. Anyone have any more info on these? I could never really find out anything on them.

Re: GM Semis
Beautiful truck. WOW Your post made my day. I looked at an old Reo yesterday. Here in north Florida it is so humid it rusts under a shed. The Reo was just rusted away. The 348 was a fine engine in it's day.

Re: GM Semis
Nice truck, but I can't believe the price it went for.
It sure did "break the bank". Bill |

Re: GM Semis
That's a long one. I like them. They do look odd in front of a van body.
I wish I had my camera. I was on I-70 and there as this straight log truck ahead of me gettin' right on up the road with some big trunks for around here. Turned out to be a General. It was in nice condition. He was steady rolling in the left lane. I got along side him and it was quiet. |
