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.

Re: GM Semis

Someone needs to get this if I was still living in Farmington NM I would get it. Doesn't look to be in to bad condition. She might sell it real cheap with Detroit power you can't go wrong.

I'm sure this post puzzled you guys.

I got a spam in my email with this title. I just responded without reporting it or opening the thread. I looked later and there was nothing actually in the thread regarding the crap in the email. Weird.

Re: GM Semis

I stumbled upon a FB page last night that has all GMC pics from the 40's to early 60's. Mostly 2 ton and up. As I check it I'll post some here....

Once again, forgot if this big one was already shown here.
