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

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.

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

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.

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

Tim,

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

special-K 01-30-2013 08:37 AM

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)
