Re: GM Semis
I always thought it was the worst design ever until I saw this one and its growing on me real quick, especially when I saw that front axle. Couldn't get up there this weekend, turned out to be another work day.

Re: GM Semis
O like all the snub-nose GMs from the early cabovers to the LCFs. I thought I had a Napco ad of a B-model.

Re: GM Semis
Yes it is a beauty. There's always a time. It's called "later"

Re: GM Semis
Now you're talking, where did you ever find this pic. I think this is my dream truck and I don't know why, bet you can't find me another one. I don't think there is a pic in any of the factory brochures of this configuration but I'll dig mine out and look again. There are 3 axle dumps but no 3 axle tractors.

Re: GM Semis
The dual air horns and fancy corner sails are a nice touch and probably factory installed, seems odd it looks like its got the small front axle with narrow fenders. I know some of you guys know more about these different axles? Makes me want to take that W900 KW frame and axles and make a clone. That would be alot of work.

Re: GM Semis
I found it on Facebook. Mr Claude Bruce from Texas has some super neat GM and Peterbilts.
The black n red Pete in smokey and the bandit with really big guy in it. That was his... Posted via Mobile Device

Re: GM Semis
I'd have to believe its a tag or Joe dog.
But Mr Bruce has some great photos. Hope you enjoy them as much as me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Posted via Mobile Device

Re: GM Semis
So, does this truck exist today or has it gone by the wayside like most of them and thank you for posting it. I was beginning to think they never made one of these. I can't think of another picture of a 456 three axle factory tractor like this one.

Re: GM Semis
I hope that truck was the real deal and not a tag as so many of the bobtail grain haulers were. Its still a great looking truck.

Now, I could be dead wrong, but I would say that the Red and White '66 above was put together. Bill

Re: GM Semis
Some real nice Long Nose 9500's above. Great pictures.
The Green one in the center is a very early model. Probably a '66. It also has those very rare Full Running Boards. Just about all of them would have a Fuel Tank there instead. Bill

Re: GM Semis
Also notice the optional Triple Horns on the Gold and White one.
That truck is either a '68 or '69. Bill

Re: GM Semis
A few years back I saw a day cab version of this truck . It was really narrow from front to back . I looked at the door and in 3" black stick on letters it spelled out Chili. Mo . for a location .
Then I started Laughing like a loon when I realized he had abbreviated the location .... Not enough room on the door for , Chillicothe, Missouri . ![]() |

Re: GM Semis
It sure is a beauty. Those trucks are cool and unusual having the earlier (fat) cab and later front end. That's the same cab as a Cannonball.
Great hay wagon picture!
