Re: GM Semis
Beautiful truck.
Looks like it is a 6500 Model which will have the 478 V-6. This truck is either a '62 or '63. As some will remember I used to drive a '62 6500. Would love to know what kind of trans it has. Some of these trucks had 8-Speed Road Rangers. Mine was a 5-Speed, 2-Speed. I used to read the Owners Manual during coffee breaks, lol. Bill

Re: GM Semis
What does the text under the picture say? It's too small for me to read.
Great picture. I wonder what first this was, trucks over pickup size? Notice the trucks didn't come with clearance lamps

Re: GM Semis
Nice truck loads of Classics. In the upper picture with the 56's, there is everything from a 150 Model to a Bel-Air, including a very rare '56 4-Dr HT 210 Model.
The trucks are cool too, lol.

Re: GM Semis
Nice looking heavy truck.
Pretty different to see only 6 Lugs holding on the Rear Duals.

Re: GM Semis
Not really sure, but I know a lot of Medium Duty trucks had 5-10's.
5 Lugs on the Front and 10 Lugs on the Rears. Bill

Re: GM Semis
I drove a '89 C-60 with 19.5's like that.
Always wanted to make the front 10 lug
