Do you have contact info for him? I've been trying to get at least a FB address on people so I can keep in touch when they disappear around here.

Re: GM Semis
 

Looks like he got sent to the principles office.

Those fat cabs are just too dang cool. A Detroit takes a lot of shifting. Imagine all the shifting in a local haul dump truck. That was quite the truck in it's time

Great collection of trucks. A few that I've never seen before.

Re: GM Semis
 

Thanks for sharing. Even ones I've seen are like first seeing all over again.

Had time to kill this weekend. So bored I was organizing my photos...

Re: GM Semis
 

I know about being bored. Been nursing cracked ribs a couple weeks now. My pictures are all organized. Just now getting to where I can do a little. Probably mess all that up loading for the truck show at Carlisle, soon as I turn this computer off. I'm just going to go easy.

Something different. Not a recent build

Bunch of stuff I found the other night going through a FB page...
Don't know if they are repeats.

Very sharp truck!

Re: GM Semis
 

Ever see one of these push me pull yous? I remember there was one sitting in a town north of here for years. I always thought about doing something with it, but what? Now I wish I just bought it and now I'd have a great truck for the antique shows. I never knew what it was till I found this on the internet. Coleman built these

Re: GM Semis
 

was wondering wat these coleman trucks did , looks like they where mostly used as aircraft tugs :
Built by two American companies Federal (F-55-AF) and Coleman (CF-55-AF) these tugs were made up of two GM cabs welded together, had 4-wheel steering and were powered by a Buda LO-525 6cyl engine producing 125bhp.
while looking for them i found these :

from the look of the website they where mostly knows for there 4x4 axles

Re: GM Semis
 

That is way cool. I never knew about those trucks or that concept. I know Coleman goes way way back with 4wd trucks, then conversions. Cool pictures of a rare truck(s).

I'm going to run through the converted 4wd/6wd pictures I have saved

Re: GM Semis
 

Years ago, a friend of mine bought an old Air Force Coleman tug. It was a single cab model, but had the 4 wheel steer. Interesting thing is, the steering knuckle is inside the giant baby moon looking hub cap.

Re: GM Semis
 

yeah i read about that too,

it was a coleman patented item looks like its simpler to make than the homokenetic ones
https://amklassiek.nl/wp-content/upl...as-660x400.jpg
, some company did try to copy the coleman idea and make it different enough to get another patent but they didnt managed to get it , they tried several ways to apply for the new patent but the cost was enough to drive the company close to bankrupty

Re: GM Semis
 

I stumbled upon a FB page last night that has all GMC pics from the 40's to early 60's. Mostly 2 ton and up. As I check it I'll post some here....

Once again, forgot if this big one was already shown here.
