Found this gem on the net. My favorite, the M 80 series tandem. IMO, has the 11K front axle (flat hubs), unlike the last M 80's posted with 9K front axles (round cap hubs post #2600). Again, just a hunch, would need to see data plate.

All that style! I can't find any difference between either rig owned by different companies.
At one point I had a '55 1st Design short bed and this stake body |

Re: GM Semis
Love those GM fleets! Looking good in 1980.
That's a slick Watkins rig. Look at the size of that reefer unit. I think those trucks were red |
Re: GM Semis
Nice looking fleet. I'll take the 9500 second in line.

Re: GM Semis
Here is a great video on the development of the 1988 'GMT400' series light trucks, but what is of interest to us here is at 0:26 there is a good shot of the 'Aero Brigadier' styling prototype. I don't believe this was a 1990 TopKick/Kodiak (GMT530) prototype, that program started later and the proportions of this truck are quite a bit different.

Rare color photo. Standard practice to paint frames and cabs the same color?

That's what I miss the most is fleet paint jobs. Back when the extra cost was considered worth it. The paint did make a statement. Truck styling may have changed, but I still prefer seeing the new trucks in their traditional livery. Less and less all the time. Out of Richmond, VA is Estes. They still do the yellow with black fenders and red chassis and wheels. I remember when they were all out there. Just the way it was. I've seen some that were white and I worried, but mostly still see paint jobs |

Since they had a lot of changes over there, I haven't been able to get back on that site for years now. After many tries, I just gave up. Your reply reminded me to try again and to my surprise, it worked. But the forums are filled up with spam. Isn't anyone minding the store over there? |

Man that Chevron tanker is nice! DW-950 or 970.

Re: GM Semis
Agree, nice photo. Note this one has a tag axle. IMO, the original owners of these types of trucks were generally large fleets, such as oil companies. After they get sold off to small time operators, they get a new paint job. Many get several color changes over a lifetime.

Re: GM Semis
Nice mixer. Looks brand new. One heck of a truck back in it's day.
Not sure what series it is, but the lumber yard I worked for that had a '62 GMC 6500 and a '71 GMC 9500 on order had just taken a '54 GMC like that mixer off the road. I had just started working there and saw it in the back yard and one day at lunch time, I went to check it out and it was gone. Just hauled off the day before. Not only did I miss driving it, I didn't even get a chance to check it out, lol. Had what I believe was a 503-6 with a 5-Speed Trans and a 2-Speed Rear. |
