Re: GM Semis
That's about my speed. Most likely it's a 366. Those vents mean big block and the 427s had and engine badge added on. I had my chance on a '69 Custom/60 single tractor for $1,500 at the (real) local junk yard a handful of years back. I just couldn't swing it at the time. Makes me sad

Re: GM Semis
Great picture of an interesting truck.
For anyone who has never read it, there is an interesting story about Cole's Express and those trucks online. Bill

Re: GM Semis
Those Coles trucks show one example of the many things the trucking industry has tried in the never ending quest for more efficient ways to move freight

Re: GM Semis
Great looking truck there. I used to drive the Ford version back when I was in the Air Force. Being I am 6'4", it was darned uncomfortable and a chore to lift my leg high enough to engage the clutch and brake.

Very nice! I always liked those better than the Ford C series.
