Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I looked hard at the Panel truck driven by "mr first in line" and cannot believe i actually drove one of these non stop from Hollywood CA to Rochester New York in 1969. 3 of us taking turns 2 sleeping in back. All at 45 MPH ( rod knock at 46 MPH). Rough trip, but back then 19 year olds could take anything.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I would have to agree. A case of load enhancement.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
Does anyone remember the S10/S15 ad from the early '90s that featured an S10 driver confidently hooking his truck to a broken Semi with a tow strap? I cn't find the ad now. It stuck with me because I worked at a dealer then and we were doing things like replacing S10 axles and transmissions destroyed by towing campers. At least GM was kind enough to add a disclaimer to the S10 commercial.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
i lived in kalispell mt in the late 70s, i believe the loggers up there loaded trucks that way all the time. there was a rr underpass heading west out of town, there was always fresh bark on the steel or parts of logs on the side of the hwy

A bunch of fine old GMC commercial trucks in this 1959 TV series called "Cannonball."

Not "vintage" but "doing" what they did in style.
