Re: 1963 gmc b napco

I thought I was a GMC man but now I know I am. I love the look of the B-model nose. It was ahead of it's time comparing it to what we have now. I also have a thing about truck cabs and the many applications of the same cab. I read the cab is one of the most expensive parts on a truck to produce. It shows in their varied use of the same cab. International supplied cabs to quite a few other truck mfgrs. I think Brockways ended up using Mack cabs toward the end. Heck, all the years Astros and Generals were made I never realized they used the same came sheet metal. And the funny thing is the conventional uses the COE cab, is how it looks.
