Re: GM Semis
This tractor appears to be a little too light to be hauling a large trailer, probably a GM staged photo.

Re: GM Semis
Good looking Brochures.
Another picture of the rare 6500 Conventional. It's even the same color as the one I drove was. Bill

Re: GM Semis
making the brosures that way is a dying artform , there hardly people left that can use pen and paint with brush or airbrush to make them on paper

Re: GM Semis
That all wheel drive B could possibly have a V12. How cool would that be?? Kinda doubt it,though,cuz it would move the gear boxes way back for the front drive.
I love them Bs. Some folks can like more than one series of trucks and I like 'em all! In Post #290 the truck on the right may not have been built in '66 since the style on the left began that year. Not sure if they overlapped. The New Breed style (if you want to call it that) actually began in '66 with these trucks,if you consider them the same style as the C-series

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
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
Picture # 288 on page 12 is how Fred Craig's black MH looked when he bought it . That picture was taken at the ATHs convention in Greensboro in '97.

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.
12v-71 powered Chevy:

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
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.
