GM Semis

[spanners]

hi,greywuuf,
all the time the truck was being checked by different people ,being shipped,,checked for customs, and checked for the DVLA for registration in the uk ,,nobody could find its proper id ,,, i had it at home ten minutes and pryed open the stuck glovebox door and the tag was inside ,,



model =HC451
she,s on a clark f460 front axle
and an eaton 2 speed rear
clark 5 speed g/box with direct drive top gear
vacume over hydralulic service brakes
and factory aftermarket trailer air brake kit.
engine is a 270
and the wheels are of ,motor,, manufacture.
it also has a genuine GMC aftermarket tachometer (rev counter)

as far as i can find out /have been told ,,she was supplied new to JEWETT FARMS at ,WILLOW,, SACRAMENTO, which is where she was found early this year when the place and contents /equipment was sold off ,, she missed going to the crusher by less than a week..
she hadnt been licenced for the road since 1976,, and hadnt been started for over 20 years..
she,s runnig now but no, brakes and very poor electrics,, all the tyres are rotten and i,m having trouble finding suitable replacements in the uk as they have now been ,phased, out allthough i gave a set away 18 months ago thinking i would never need them,

genuine milage ????


i hope all the above is of interest ,
i do have a few more pictures but they need sorting as they were taken in a rush the truck has only been home less than 48hrs,
cheers,
