Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Spartan 100-------Don't remember hearing of that model gas job. I have an MH 90 diesel. Seems like the model designations are all over the map .

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Yeah I've only seen a couple others on the net and both were old fire trucks. I haven't found much on the Spartan designation either, other than it is a heavy duty truck!

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
I had at one time (and wish I hadn't gotten rid of it) a 59 Chevy Spartan 10400. Had a factory 348/5 speed/ 2 speed rear combo.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Very low production model, not many around. I believe 1958 was the first year for Budd 10 hole (standard pattern) wheels on Chevy's.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
So was the spartan 100 the next size up from a 90? Like 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100? The largest I've seen is a 90

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
There was a re alignment of model series starting in 1960, so the 100 does not mean it is in the same GVW class as the 90 series in the 60's. 1959 GVW for 2 axle 100 series was 25,000lbs, GVW for 3 axle 100 series was 36,000lbs

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
That just verifies the confusion ................35000GVW is pretty normal with 2 axles..........12000 front and 23000 rear. Some of the early gas tandems had a very low rated tandem.
Then, north of the border the model designations are reversed from ours . I'll have to dig out some Canadian spec sheets to verify .. |

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Love those early Pete's.
Would the one on the right be considered a "Needle Nose"?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Today they drive the cars down ramps off the ships, but as late as the '70's I remember them being loaded off by a crane, 1 by 1 on a platform. They told me that one day they dropped one.
