Let's talk about and look at the tractor trailers. GMCs were once among the kings of the hiways.

Those T-models are tough looking.
Love those Cannonballs. I knew,far too briefly,one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet who owned one...as well as many other old GMC tractors. Leukemia took him in a second round fight. His very close friend now owns it with great pride.

First picture is Fred enjoying the ride on what would be one of his last. The last one was at a show now that Mel owns it.

Re: GM Semis

From a local moving company. They have a bunch of their old trucks they have kept.

Re: GM Semis
 

Funny,I've seen a lot of these show trucks somewhere or another before.

Gotta get some car carriers in here:

That first one is a Dodge,I think...oops!

Here's that Red Cannonball:

Re: GM Semis
 

Man even those old car trailers were super cool looking back in the day. Some awesome pictures in that post!!! :c2:

Re: GM Semis
 

Yeah,the trailers were awfully stylish. Here's a few early semis:

That's a heck of a load. I'd guess that load came out of the Fremont plant.

Re: GM Semis
 

I love those truck/trailer rigs. We don't have that back east. They are my favorites

Re: GM Semis
 

Man I love all them big ol' son ova guns!!!. I'm slowly working up to that size truck. Then I'll get the forever stupid question when i buy one, "what are you gonna do with that?!!!, Gonna drive it you dumb ass!!!. Thanks Tim, Great thread.

Re: GM Semis
 

Great pictures. A lot of them I've never seen before.

Re: GM Semis
 

Here's the '69 C/60 I wanted (so people could ask me the forever stupid question,"what are you gonna do with that?") to buy. I saw it at the junk yard/towing co, that's near my house. They put the complete and running vehicles out for sale. It wasn't put into a spot yet but I went and asked to see if they'd sell it. I'm familiar with the company that owned it,a landscape company (big one) that runs all Chevys and all this green. I coulda had it for $1,500 but just couldn't round it up. The 366 purred like a kitten.

Re: GM Semis
 

I was born a trucker to late to drive these cool trucks.

Re: GM Semis
 

Gas motor ..... air lines for trailer ....... johnson bar ...... I think we could haul a lot of old trucks on a trailer with this :metal:

Re: GM Semis
 

Tim,

I was hoping that you could have bought that one. Did it finally sell?

Re: GM Semis
 

It sold within a week. I didn't stand a chance. If I had money,I was the first to ask about it. Woulda been an excellent pickup hauler. The first trailer woulda been a low-boy or Landoll type (and this is someone w/no money talkin' heh heh)
