Woo hoo!!!, congratulations!!! Glad you got it!. You need to start your own thread with it to keep us updated.
What's your first plan of attack?

Gypsyman · 01-29-2016, 07:28 PM

Chase the bugs and critters out. Go over the engine to see if it's safe to start. Fire it up if it is. Go thru the brakes and fluids. Temporary floor pan, temporary seat, and test drive the beast!

If that all shakes out good I'll work up a plan of attack and down to the frame she goes for restoration.

Might have found a parts trucks too. Fingers crossed on that one. =)

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-29-2016, 07:43 PM

Glad to see you got it.

As mentioned, keep us posted on it.

83GMCK2500 · 01-29-2016, 07:49 PM

Woo-HOOO! Another one on the path towards resurrection!

Dangit, I just looked and you're on the other side of the state from me, I'd love to see that truck.

Gypsyman · 01-29-2016, 07:52 PM

If you're ever over on this side you're welcome to come by the shop anytime. The doors are always open. =)

Great news to hear. I wish I was you

KQQL IT · 02-02-2016, 11:12 AM

Pacarhauler pic, we where wondering what year she could be.

junkmandan3 · 02-02-2016, 02:01 PM

67-72 , but maybe all years didn't offer the 427 as a medium truck engine .

I have a "cherry" cab with the same front clip available in upstate eastern NY. Early service was a fire truck, then served in street maintenance dept . It has the flared front fenders, like pictured. PM me if interested !

I know where it is. Northbound I-83 south of York, PA. The blue trailer could be Maersk Line and probably hauling from Baltimore harbor.

PAcarhauler has a ton of pics from that spot.

**special-K** · 02-03-2016, 09:20 AM

From what I can see, I can narrow it down to 70-72. It lacks the '69-style clearance lamps, but they could be changed, so maybe '69 is possible. Not sure on years of engine options

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-03-2016, 09:39 AM

Also, I would need to research it, but weren't the Heavier Trucks up to '69 the "E" Series ?

BTW, it is a GMC with it's Letters missing on the grille.

Cracker Box Flatbed. Cool truck.

Dual Stacks to boot.

watahyahknow · 02-20-2016, 09:17 PM

kindah suprized they ran those exhaust stacks so close to the hay
wouldve figured they would run the exhaust underneath the flatbed to prevent firehazzards

KQQL IT · 02-21-2016, 11:21 PM

More PAcarhauler pics.

junkmandan3 · 02-24-2016, 12:46 PM

I've got a few GMC brochures from Motor Inn Auto Co. in upstate NY that I bought at Hershey or Macungie. Kind of nostalgic, as our farm was 10 miles away and I'd visit the dealership and dream as a teenager. They were Olds/GMC dealers through the 50s, it's the village firehouse now.

That's my route to Macungie. Actually, I bought my first Blazer up that way in Red Lion in '82 (a '71)

Dan, let me teach you how to post pictures. You are depriving us! I know you could show a lot. If it's on your computer I can help you put it here. I can run you though it, I think, in a few simple steps

junkmandan3 · 02-28-2016, 01:00 PM

Still waiting to get to Sykesville, [and of course Mt. Airy] when my older sis gets back from Florida. We haven't been your way since Christmas 2014. Also gotta see the progress on Billy Marlow's 860 .

watahyahknow · 03-03-2016, 12:30 PM

found this one on the net

Wow I bet there is an interesting story about that one, and all of its little friends.

C10 - C90 Bill · 03-03-2016, 07:57 PM

All 4 cars are '56's.

KQQL IT · 03-11-2016, 07:45 PM

This page is slow... lately

KQQL IT · 03-20-2016, 11:03 AM

Finally figured out how to upload pics from my files.

KQQL IT · 03-21-2016, 12:40 AM
