Re: GM Semis
That is one beautiful Chevrolet.
I remember Texaco trucks just like that, fairly new, delivering gas to the station I worked at part time in my younger years, although they were GMC's. I believe they were '73 or '74 models with 8V-71's and 13-Speeds.

Re: GM Semis
Hello out there! I am new to this forum and I just want to share my project with y'all...I have recently acquired a 1964 GMC 6500...everything you see in the pics is original, it was kept in a barn for over 40 years...from what I have learned, this is a pretty rare truck...and my wish was to find a old school truck that I wouldn't see on the road...mission accomplished! I have shared a few pics to see how beautiful he is...right now his name is BigBEN...that will probably change once I make all the changes and upgrades...I see there is a couple of guys in here who can appreciate such a truck...my goal is to find someone in here that has one like mine or know someone who does...and to provide some recent photos...its one of the coolest trucks I ever laid my eyes upon...enjoy!

Re: GM Semis
What is the GVW on your 6500?
My '62 was 32,000 (9 Fronts, 23 Rears).

Undersized to boot. Love the old trucks, but I don't know if I would had missed those old driving days.

Re: GM Semis
I remember a tractor trailer delivering lumber to our place once when it was winter time and a thin coat of ice on the ground. Someone did not figure the deliveries correctly and our part of the load was up front. That left a heavy load on the trailer axles only. The truck just sat there and spun. He finally got it going somehow, but I sure would not have wanted to drive it that way. He should have asked us to move the load up front for him.

Re: GM Semis
The kings of the hiway didn't live like kings, that's for sure. That was some work. But, it was all they knew, so not as bad as it seems to us. Those early GMC COEs are supercool

Re: GM Semis
Thanks for sharing,I agree, from what I have observed over the years, the very high GVW units in that body style have low production numbers. The giveways of spotting a high GVW unit are the large rear axle, large ivory steering wheel and larger front bumper.

Re: GM Semis
Just think about all the fine GMs that one truck must have hauled.
