Re: GM Semis
its so sad that most of those cars and trucks are no exist
i live in the netherlands and there was one carmanufacturer here called DAF that made cars in larger series , they basicly where the dutch volkswagen beetles the cars had a variomatic transmission and could run backwards as fast as forward a lot later somewhere in the 70's there was a populair tv-show that used a lot of these cars in reverse demolition derbies as they ran the fastest and this show just about wiped out all of those cars still left in existance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoh8i0jfpTo

Re: GM Semis
It must be difficult for those drivers to adjust to driving from the left side of the vehicle

Re: GM Semis
Not sure if mine counts, but during my last deployment, my wife found a 1954 Chevy 6400 with a flatbed. I guess the guy wanted about 1500, but I stole it for 800 and it runs really good. Rebuilding my shop when I get back, then this and my 67 will be getting some attention. Looking for some inspiration. Was used as a local water truck, so the flatbed was covered in sheetmetal, and it's rusted to hell...the body needs a little work, but overall, the truck is solid.
Here it is...needs a lot of work, but fun truck to drive ![]() Here it is next to my 67 k10...and the shop that's getting rebuilt ![]() My original plan was t restore it and go with a 2 tone forest green and black look re-do all the chrome bumpers and such, totally restore (actually rebuild) flatbed, to wood and use it as a weekender or hay hauler. add a removable 5th wheel hitch for heavy trailer hauling comments suggestions welcome.

Re: GM Semis
thats is a beautiful truck , would be fun if you could find some container/camperunit for it that fit on the flatbed and take it on a trip , even though i guess sitting in there for longer trips isnt exactly good for youre back

Re: GM Semis
That's real nice and what you have in mind is perfect. I've always wanted to have a restored old flatbed for chore'n around. I did a '47 for a friend a good while back. He keeps it inside and it still looks fresh. It's black with a red stripe on that body line around the cab,black wheels,and a wood bed with black iron hardware. It's 100% original,except the red stripe and bed. I'll have to get by and take pictures.

Re: GM Semis
Interesting picture. That was one heck of a truck in it's day. Most likely had a 6-71.

Re: GM Semis
Truckfan-----That military 6x6 was Korean war vintage military with Hydramatic transmission married to a 2 speed auxilliary for 8 forward gears and the 302 engine. I drove one at reserve summer camp at Camp Drum in New York in '57 and '58. When I was in Germany we had the REO 6x6 only.
The "B" series GMC with dual stacks would have 6V71, as that was the only way they were offered at first . After reworking the cab floor the inline 6-71 was offered later. |

Re: GM Semis
Here's a crackerbox I found for sale. I'm guessing by 238 engine, he means a 238 hp 6-71, judging by the single stack (just read that in the previous post).

Re: GM Semis
Right, 238 is another name for a 6-71. It is listed as a '66, but I believe it is a little older, by the "GMC" letters (compare these to the other truck above), but I'm far from a Cracker Box expert, lol.

Re: GM Semis
Door handles look earlier,but possibly they carried over longer in these trucks.
There's a 48" (day) cab with 6v-71 for sale near me. It's shiny and nice with chrome grille & bumper. Only saw pictures which didn't show the rear axle arrangement. Price is $3,500. The guy also has a KW with twin turbo 8v-71 overhauled w/1,500 miles. That one's a good bit more.
