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.

Now that's really bizarre! Looks to be a 747 mockup, maybe for checking cockpit visability during taxiing, but what is it doing with a McDonnell-Douglas insignia on it? Judging by the GMC and the 727 that picture was taken years before the Boeing/McDonnell-Douglas merger.

Bekins Van Lines was all over Southern California and they liked GMC's.

Looks like it might be propane-fueled.

I would say so, most likely a 6V-53. Only other possibility would be the DH637 V-8 Toroflow. Both of those engine options required the raised cab. The only gasoline engines that used the raised cab were the 702 V-12 and 637 V-8, neither of which were offered in Chevy Steel Tilts.
