Re: GM Semis
Great pictures! As much as I love a dolled-up privateer rig, I also love seeing the fleet trucks just as they were...get the job done and show the company's colors. Most trucks you see restored, even those, guys can't resist geegaws & doodads. That 66 line-up if a slice of heaven. That last 95500...wow! Look at all the new stuff. and I wonder what truck that is with the Alcoa on the rear.
Here's a picture that moves if you click it

Re: GM Semis
The more I look at this thing the more I think some dude built it, not GMC. Look close, the grilles are stacked late 70's Sierra pickup grilles. 8 headlights?

Re: GM Semis
if you look ar just the front it could well be a rv , the design might actually work even today if they add some side skirts and supersingles

Re: GM Semis
I have seen this truck in person, and it is nice. It originally had the Twin-Hydramatic in it.

Re: GM Semis
I believe I have seen that truck too. Very nice, I love the old Pete's with the small cab. For just a few years there Peterbilt offered the wide hood with the small cab, to me that's one of the all time classics.

Re: GM Semis
Nice looking truck.
Pretty good front-end height for a low hood.

Re: GM Semis
If this was a 80 series, I would be interested. Looks very clean http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/5034902451.html

Re: GM Semis
Many of those did, but if you blow that picture up there is a 'Turbocharged' emblem on the hood. That truck had a 4-71T in it. Rare combination.
