Did you already show this one? It was at the bottom of my picture pile. At some point I started putting ns at the end of the code and taking it ff once shown, but there are those pics I already had, haven't shown, and who knows!! Enjoy, once or twice!

I do know it, a friend owns it about 20 minutes from me.
It's being made into a hay truck n trailer.

Posted a pic a page or 2 back.

Re: GM Semis

I'd say. Great company livery on that Crackerbox. That's a unique visor. Looks like a pull down shade!

Here's one from the Tri-State Show last weekend

Those Crackerboxes remind me of Praying Mantis or grasshopper face. I guess those are the antennae

Weee bit overloaded? But seeing a truck working hard is a good thing to see. Our grandparents had no problems pushing the limits with everything.

That's a cool picture, but I always believed that it was "photoshopped".

Freshly cut wood is unbelievably heavy.

Also, check out the Front Left Wheel. I believe I see only 5 Lugs on there.

If I'm correct, it was pretty rare for GM, in my opinion.
