Lots of great photos here! We have a C50 Custom, C60 Custom Deluxe, and GMC 6000 out in the pasture on the fence row. Poor things probably wont see the road again in my lifetime. Not quite semi trucks but just a step down from semis lol

I don't know if anybody has put this up already or not but I liked it.

I know a old driver in his eighties. He transported new Chevrolet cars & trucks between St Louis mo and Oakland Calif in the mid fifties. They had two 54 snub nose trucks and the trailer hauled 4 vehicles. One truck was a chev with a 261. The other was a GMC with a 270 engine. They traveled the old route 66. He claims it took ten days of hard running to make the trip in the chev and only 8 days in the GMC. He states he hauled lots of the new 55,56 & 57 chevys. He would sometimes unload them unhook the speedometer and drive them. Picked up women and drag raced in them!

Here is a couple pictures of my 57 dump truck. originally a 261 six. The engine was blown when I bought it for $75 at auction. Paid a wrecker $100 to bring it to my place. I installed a 307 V8. four speed trans two speed rear end . I use it a few times per year. The last pic is a 59 that was driven to that very spot by me. I couldn't get a clear title so I junked it. only paid $22.50 for it so I didn't care.

Got these out of a 1960 issue of Fleet Owner magazine. Thought I'd share.

I almost guarantee you that one good trip in that thing would beat you to death. Long wheelbase wouldn't be too bad but that short wheelbase would do me in.

Chevrolet "Sturdi bilt" trucks, 1960. Note second truck is a LCF.

Katrina/10 · 03-20-2014, 01:03 PM

I like the Ward's tire ads, never saw them before.

KQQL IT · 03-21-2014, 12:39 AM

Why is the interior white?

Cool pics too.

C10 - C90 Bill · 03-21-2014, 09:08 AM

It does look White, but probably just Fawn "highlighted".

Cool truck, btw. It would be my pick of the bunch.
