I spotted this one Thursday.

Re: GM Semis
 

More crooked stacks, what the hay?

Re: GM Semis
 

Very nice. Looks like a '67. I think you need to check into it a bit further!
Those Crackerboxes remind me of Praying Mantis or grasshopper face. I guess those are the antennae

Re: GM Semis
 

I love the Chevy/GMC tandem dumps.

Hard workin' Chevy

Re: GM Semis
 

Weee bit overloaded? But seeing a truck working hard is a good thing to see. Our grandparents had no problems pushing the limits with everything.

Re: GM Semis
 

More from the book.

Re: GM Semis
 

That's a cool picture, but I always believed that it was "photoshopped".

Freshly cut wood is unbelievably heavy.

Also, check out the Front Left Wheel. I believe I see only 5 Lugs on there.

If I'm correct, it was pretty rare for GM, in my opinion.

Turning that General tow truck into a car hauler would be awesome.

Re: GM Semis
 

Be awful tall for a car hauler?

Nice old fat cab. Many years between the two pictures with changes done between a long time ago. I wonder how old the earlier picture is.

I think wreckers are cool as wreckers.

Re: GM Semis
 

That truck has a pretty modern look to it for an older model. Looks like it wouldn't take a whole lot to get it back in nice shape again.

Re: GM Semis
 

I don't think I've shown this

Re: GM Semis
 

Workin' hard. You know what? I was just thinking about log haulers and how all they can do is guess at what their payload is. Size and how they fit combined with different density of each tree as well as the difference just 1" diameter make on a long stick puts a "full load" all over the place in weight

Re: GM Semis
 

Wow, that top log has no business being on top of there.

Even Kiln Dry Framing Lumber needs to be loaded sensibly.

One day at the freight yard, my boss got behind the wheel of the fork lift instead of the regular fork lift driver. We would load 3 high all the time, although not all units were the same height. He put the taller and heavier load on the curb side of my '62 6500. The truck was "top heavy" enough as it was and I swear my drivers seat was about a foot higher than normal, lol. I took the load back to the yard (a mile or two) very cautiously. If it were to be a long haul, I would had refused. I took full left hand turns at about 3 MPH.

Re: GM Semis
 

dont think it are multiple trees i think its a single trunk with some branch splits still on it

Re: GM Semis
 

Probably not loaded for hiway. But still a shaky situation, especially on soft and uneven ground. Looks like it's coming up out of a mud hole with the driver side already out. The old girl dragged it on outta there I bet, tho'. And dragged many more loads after

Re: GM Semis
 

bet the cat was pushing it too

Re: GM Semis
 

FB gleaning

Re: GM Semis
 

I guarantee. Probably trying to push at an anglr some to help keep from tipping, too.
Cool stuff. That first one is in MA. They run that style brush trucks out on the cape.

Re: GM Semis
 

Got some neat one's

Re: GM Semis
 

Talk about some custom trucks! I saw that first picture and started thinking how those old semis are what I saw as every day trucks when I was a kid. Those were running around all fresh makin' money. And the sounds... Nostalgia is a wonderful thing

Re: GM Semis
 

Frank Leparik with the awesomeness
Mercury sleeper and a Don Hinz boom. Good stuff today.

Re: GM Semis
 

Interesting muffler arrangement on that first truck

Re: GM Semis
 

Yes, but easy to change.

Re: GM Semis
 

Nothing that a Hack Saw couldn't fix, lol.

Cool pictures of the 9500's.

Re: GM Semis
 

Spark arrestor?

Re: GM Semis
 

I wondered if that or resonators? It looks like an oval muffler under the frame, too? That's what I thought I saw this morning. Now not so sure that's what I see.

Re: GM Semis
 

Maybe that 238 was ear piercing at 2750?

Re: GM Semis
 

I live 1/2 mile south from the main hwy going uphill west out of town.

Lots of early mornings, I hear an old Jimmy screamin' up that hill.

Re: GM Semis
 

Here's a couple Jimmy's I came across on FB. Don't think any are repeats....

Re: GM Semis
 

Repeat or not, that first one would look good with me in it. :lol:

Re: GM Semis
 

I've never seen that second one. Would be interesting knowing more about it.

First one is as cool as ever, lol.

Re: GM Semis
 

I found that from a post on "Dying Breed Diesels" on FB while scanning through. Apparently the guy that bought it hauled it 200 miles home at night chained like that to the trailer. Must have been a sight to see going by...

Re: GM Semis
 

Love these photoshops
