Re: GM Semis
I see a few GM Trucks in oncoming traffic. I chuckle looking at that Cadillac behind that Simca (Fiat?) over to the left :lol:

How about a visually appealing General? photographed outside of the Pontiac medium duty truck plant. I think the General in this photo looks a lot better with dual air cleaners instead of the one you usually always see them with. I do not have any facts on this but, I read on another group that this possibly had the 8v92 unfortunately with an Allison.

Re: GM Semis
Bob,
I don't believe they put any 12V-92's in the General or Bison. If I'm correct, was that because of fuel mileage back in the mid '70's? |

I dont believe I've seen a 12v92 in any highway truck. These fellers did 16v71 in a cab over. https://youtu.be/bCUpjlYm1NA |

Re: GM Semis
Great looking truck.
Cool idea to have Mirrors on the Guide Poles. My '62 had the Poles, but no Mirrors. |

Can I take my pick? Ok, get all those 4-wheelers unloaded so I can get back home :lol:
No, seriously, I'd have to say I can't decide so how about I just take it all |
Re: GM Semis
As much as I like the Trucks and I wouldn't mind the Corvette, I'll take the '62 Impala. Hopefully it's a 409, 4-Speed, lol.

Re: GM Semis
Would have been great parts trucks for sure.
They were all '66 or '67's. Looks like the Red one could have been a Toro-Flow. |

So, the OEM never gets involved in damaged vehicles after they leave the factory. Generally salvage yards buy all this kind of stuff from the carrier's insurance company. Whether they can be rebuilt or used for parts is probably a case-by-case situation. As you said, a lot of good parts to had there. There are probably some laws about salvage titles. A customer would want to know the complete story behind their new zero-mileage car that maybe is not all that new. I recently passed an auto salvage yard in Long Beach, CA right next to the docks where ships discharge cars coming from Asia. That day they were using fork trucks to unload dozens of brand new cars with body damage on every side. They had been on a ship that was caught in a BAD storm and had all slammed into each other on the decks. They get tied down to the deck but it's not real tight and they park them close together to maximize space. It's a risk they take and sometimes lose. I've also heard stories of rail cars in Mexico getting broken into by groups who dismantle the autos while riding in the enclosed rail cars. At designated spots they throw wheels, seats, air bags, etc off to other groups on the ground. |

Re: GM Semis
Now ain't that a purdy Cannonball? I love the GMC slippin' around the sheep herd, too.
It's under the weight class of Heavy Haulers, but yesterday I looked at a '55 GMC 100 for sale along the road. Fresh out of the barn with '91 stickers. faded Woodland Green, white trim, 19s, Factory stake body bed w/high sides, all there. It has it's rust but I'd love to restore that one. Asking $3,500 or best offer. I got pictures with my phone but don't post to the internet with that. I'll be doing a job up that way next week and will be sure to carry my camera along |

I told you guys a while back that I would post a video of my toro flo diesel running so here it is. https://youtu.be/lrgUnIxIaSo

Re: GM Semis
Cool truck. Tell us more about it, Trans, GVW, etc.
Also, have we seen your '64 B7000 yet? |
Re: GM Semis

The toro flo is a 1965 GMC 5000 tractor that pulled a single axle dump trailer (that i also have) it has a five speed trans with a two speed rear axle, not sure of the specs on either. Also not sure of the GVW so any help would be appreciated. The 1964 GMC B7000 is an old winch truck, it has a 671 Detroit with a 5 speed main box, 4 speed auxiliary, and a power tower. Both trucks were my great grandpas at one time and have been in the family since he got them. :gmc2:

Re: GM Semis
The Tag including the GVW should be on the driver's side kick panel. Also check the Tag inside on the glove box door.
The B7000 sure looks like an interesting truck. |
Re: GM Semis
I've looked at the tag in the glovebox before but it is painted over so you can't read it worth a crap.

Was the 3 horn trucks just a spec checkmark or trim level?
