Re: GM Semis
10 axles ain't bad for a 6-71 ! And when the V-12s took over they had 13 axles, now they limit 'em to 11 axles.

Re: GM Semis
That's got to be quite a load there. I look at that picture and wish I was there to watch (and hear) him get those wheels up to speed. It doesn't take much to visualize it. I feel lucky to have lived during those trucks' time

Re: GM Semis
When we would travel back to Virginia going through Pennsylvania back in the 80's and 90's, we would stop at a restaurant that was at the bottom of a long hill. Detroits were everywhere climbing that long hill with full loads. I would always suggest to have lunch there for some reason, lol.

Re: GM Semis
They do exist! (M&M commercial) Seriously, every one of these I see makes me feel happy another exists out there. It gives more hope that one day maybe one could be mine.

Re: GM Semis
It definitely is not original. It looks like one from a pick-up.

Re: GM Semis
Yeah, sign painters are getting to be a rare breed. It is very interesting to watch them work.

Re: GM Semis
That's a good looking load, but No Head Board !!
If he ever had to hit the brakes hard, that whole load would shift forward.

Re: GM Semis
That's pretty good, a John Deere Diesel Engine in a GM Truck.
I've got a GM Diesel Engine in my John Deere Tractor, lol. (Optional 2-53 Detroit)

Re: GM Semis
I did a little research on the JD powered truck and it seems like very few, possibly only one, was made and they were never marketed to the buying public.
