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
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
Just think about all the fine GMs that one truck must have hauled.

Brand new '65 Chevys being hauled by a '64. Most likely a C-80.

Re: GM Semis
Here's one that I'm trying to purchase. Was driven to it's current resting place and hasn't run for the 40 years since. Trying hard to keep that from becoming 41 years. Only a couple of things to change to get her back to original.
