Re: GM Semis
Even I would look good in that one.
I can see me now, shifting a 6+4 behind that screaming Jimmy.

Re: GM Semis
That was an inside joke with myself. I drove a nine speed behind a 60 series Detroit yesterday for and hour before I realized it was a 13 speed.

Here's a ripped off pic of one of my former Teamster brothers. Probably loaded up with donuts in an older long nose...

Re: GM Semis
That actually was a very special one-off 950 tractor built for Pacific Intermountain Express in 1951. The only GMC road tractor ever built with a 275 h.p. Detroit 6-110 industrial/marine diesel. Idea was to give P.I.E. a very powerful tractor for for going over the Rockies, ect.. It wasn't successful, the 6-110 used a centrifugal blower (instead of the typical Rootes blower that a 71 series used) and was failure prone. Of course when the blower failed the engine swallowed the pieces and it was taken out as well!

Re: GM Semis
I think you are correct. Nice picture, like a dream. I wonder if the rear HandiVan is a camper order. Is that a pinstripe on the red truck or a reflection?

Re: GM Semis
Find more???Most of the car carriers you see on the web originated on my Flickr page. That includes the ATC GMC seen above. Here's a better view of that Insured rig.

Re: GM Semis
More great pictures.
That Red GMC Conventional is an interesting shot. Looks like it is only a 5000 though. Probably has a 351 or 401.

Re: GM Semis
I believe you are right.
Also the Tractor itself is only a '66 or '67. The emblem on the hood is a little hard to see, but it looks like it's a V-6 Gas or a Toro-Flow.

Re: GM Semis
About two months ago I uploaded about twenty photos of 47-54 Chev and GMC car carriers. I show some here but before I do,,,,here's a 36 or 37 Montpelier cab Chevy and semi enclosed W&K trailer. The same cabs were also used on Dodges before they made a COE in-house.

Re: GM Semis
They did it several times a day. This is a Williams trailer and the uprights for the rear upper deck are hinged at the bottom. When unlatched, they tilt out to about 30 deg. The decks above the big truck are raised and the truck is driven in. On earlier versions of these trailers, all the upper decks swung out. I dig one up and post it. Meanwhile, here's a sister truck with the cab and chassis units loaded on the tail.
