Really like that late '50's GMC 600 series truck. There's one about 35 miles from here sitting at a grain elevator, been there for years and the owner won't sell it. I tried to buy it several times, will have to see if it's still there and at least get some pics of it. It has what I believe to be the original V8 that's all there, oil bath, generator, etc. and has a 5 speed OD Clark transmission with reverse all the way to the right and up:

L 1 3 R
2 4

Wow! That white GMC semi looks amazing.

My problem is I start wanting everything I look at....I wonder if there is a cure.

There are only two cures I am familiar with, buy everything you look at and stop looking. Resisting is hopeless and anything in between can only works temporarily.

My kind of street rod. Nice job on it, I think

Cool truck.

I like how he kept it pretty original and looks like just a lot of bolt-on extras.

Another neat Advance Design

C10 - C90 Bill 04-29-2017 04:23 PM

Re: GM Semis
 
Great picture.

The amazing thing there is that all that is being pulled by just an I-6 gas engine. I believe they only had 235's in the Chevy trucks back then.

That thought crosses my mind whenever I see a 40's-50's road tractor. Incredible what they pulled with them.

Don't think the 261 was introduced until '54.
Those sixes definitely pulled their weight and then some

Re: GM Semis
 
GMC's got the real big 6's though. Biggest one was the 503 6 Cylinder Gas.

Others got Detroit Diesels.

Yep, in the heavier trucks. Guys these days think one of those I-6s isn't enough for an empty pickup.

There's a twin to that rig (tractor and trailer) sans logos, sitting in a little town just east of here. I need to stop and snap a picture.

Fantastic truck! And original owner story!! Thanks!!! That thing is super cool in many ways. What a "fine piece". Looks like he bought himself a red truck and drove it!

Re: GM Semis
 
Knew it belonged here.
And very cool that they kept it.

Well cared for. Looks straight as the day it was built.

I got a smart TV for Christmas. I can tune in to YouTube now, and search themes I'm interested in such as old trucks Gimmy diesels etc. and watch videos while I play here.

special-K 05-11-2017 09:44 PM

Re: GM Semis
 
Maybe if I give DirecTv the boot I'll be forced to learn what makes mine so smart. I just use mine same as the dumb ones I had. I remember when I first got it and all these logos like You Tube and Net Flix were up on the screen. At the time I was hollein' for it to get the heck off my TV so I could watch it! :lol:

YouTube videos of Jimmy diesels beat regular TV.

Re: GM Semis
 
Yeah, the old truck guys will jump over hurdles to get an old trailer like that. Get the visual, a trucker running the hurdles in olympic time? :lol: That truck is dolled up a bit. That ain't no vinyl on that trailer. That is artwork!
