Since the Yellow Corporation has been in the news of recent for unfortunately closing their doors like the great CF did 22 years ago. I thought I would show off a few photos I found online, hopefully they have not been posted here yet of some crackerboxes and Jimmy's and a Chevy all in Swamp Holly Orange their corporate color. They chose that so no matter day or night or the condition of weather you would always know what trucks were theirs.

Very late production General. Not an SBFA model, but it does have square headlights:

Right, I'm not a big General fan, but that truck is nice.
Detroit power? Any guess on the year of it? |

Notice the grille is very similar to a Chevy Bison grille, not the usual General grille. |

Bakersfield 1947 they said.

Re: GM Semis
Great picture. I think it's later than 1947, some of the trucks appear to be 1956's.

I thought the same. But asking on Facebook is usually only good for a argument |

Kinda neat the concrete hasn't changed

Re: GM Semis
Sure is! BTW, that truck at the pump appears to be one of those Fageol-Peterbilts, either a rebuild of an old Fageol by Peterbilt or an early Peterbilt with left over Fageol parts in it. Either way not uncommon in California during those days.

Re: GM Semis
Per the guy that knows old peterbilts.
It will not have been military surplus. This Peterbilt has aluminum radiator, which Peterbilt stopped building from mid-1942 through February 1945. The bumper is Fall '45-'49. If the emblems were not airbrushed out of the photo, it is possible the truck was rebuilt with newer hood and radiator shortly after the war, without the emblems. Trucks were very scarce at the time, this was done a fair amount.  |
