Re: GM Semis

Beautiful truck. WOW Your post made my day. I looked at an old Reo yesterday. Here in north Florida it is so humid it rusts under a shed. The Reo was just rusted away. The 348 was a fine engine in it's day.

Re: GM Semis

Yeah, those Triple Factory Horns are pretty interesting. My Twin Standards are pretty loud, I can just imagine what they sound like. I also see it has the heavy style Cab Lights as well. Cool to have the usual 8V-71. Was the Road Ranger a 13 Speed?

Yes, I think they had 13's. In some of the ad copy, GMC referred to the MH 9501's as the 'Magnificent Hauler'.

Re: GM Semis

Truck looks real nice.

Is that the project that has the 13-Speed Road Ranger in it?

Re: GM Semis

The cannonball owned by Mr. Wells in pic # 807 originally had a Twin Hydramatic transmission . 7 speeds with a healthy overdrive . It was sold around Denver about 20 years ago, driven to Ontario, Canada. Some time later the fluid coupling[as it didn't have a torque converter] had a problem . It got to Port Clinton, Ohio to a car transmission repair shop, found some fins off the fluid coupling and no parts available . We hauled it to Twinsburg, Oh and proceeded to convert it to a 13 speed. Whoever was the advisor on the transmission selection, should have spec'd a double overdrive because it would only run 53 MPH . Canadian owner got disgusted and sold it to an acquaintance in Avon, OH , who resold it to Mr. Wells .

Re: GM Semis

I never knew they made an Auto Trans in a truck that old. Funny to think that I could have been cussing them back then, lol. My company mechanic would mention Autos to me back in the '70's and I thought that was early !!

Re: GM Semis

i did had some posters in my room when i was about 12 or so from allison automatics for big rigs so 70's is pretty close to wat that mecanic was mentioning
then again :


allways wondered if it was possible to connect one automatic transmission behind another , did some benchracing about it and figured the biggest problem after the space under the car would be building up oilpressure in the second trans

main reason i thught about it at the time was because the 4 speed automatics coulnt take the amount of horsepower i was figuring on (cheaply)

was thinking on two powerglides in series or a th400 with a full manual powerglide behind that kindah like a gearvendor setup

i got a job again and having fun at it too

idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real

i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts

I'm not sure the load is low enough (or the stacks high enough).
Going down the road with a flaming load of hay would be quite a sight.
