Re: GM Semis
So Vettes are loaded exclusively on rail at factory now? Dang,didn't know that. How about at the other end of the line? Driven? Hauled?

Re: GM Semis
Special-K------Pic 740 of the COE Chev with 3 military Dodges is great for the era ! I had a Dodge WW2 ambulance back in the '70s, was gonna make it into a truck puller with 6V53. Friends advised me it would need complete running gear upgrade, so I sold and flat towed it to Mansfield, Oh. area. Over the years, I had components for 4 different types of pullers, but only experienced it once with my 9500 GMC.

Re: GM Semis
Glad you liked that one. I thought the same thing,too. I always wanted one of those Dodges in any form. I pulled a few times with a '69 W300 back in '77 when I first found out about pulling with trucks and things got so refined. I love to watch the pulls. Lots of black smoke at work (having fun)

Re: GM Semis
I love the old military trucks too, here is my '51 M37 doing my first truck pull (I rolled it over on the trails the day before).

Re: GM Semis
It has a Dodge 383 under the hood, but I am working on a 440 to replace it.

Re: GM Semis
What axles do you have under the Power Wagon ? And weren't the original engines 256 cubes ?

The '69 I pulled with had a built 440. It was my daily driver with 37/14.50s. It did pretty good for a street legal truck. Never saw anything near a full pull,though. Your truck is awesome

That is one heck of a truck.
Would love to see it fully restored.
