Re: GM Semis
A couple of months ago I purchased this 1958 C60 Viking.
it was sold as new in the Netherlands in 12/1958. the buildup was done in the Netherlands complete with a hydraulic tailgate. I'm the second owner and see my build thread in my signature when I bought it: ![]() after we shortened the wheelbase: ![]()

Re: GM Semis
So I stumbled upon this site yesterday https://en.wheelsage.org/gmc/ looking at truck pictures. Some of you may already know of it but there is some good stuff for GMC/Chevy truck pictures if you have time to sift...
A few of the semi's and road tractors that I found below... hopefully none are recent repeats. |

Re: GM Semis
I like the Cracker Box cabover. Lance Crackers of Charlotte NC had a fleet of them with 671's (at least I think they were). I worked at a gas station on US 21 just up the street from the plant. They were always going by or taking off from the traffic light. That's how I learned what a Detroit 2 cycle sounded like. The City of Charlotte also had some International trash trucks with them and Allison automatics. You could hear hear workin a mile away.

Re: GM Semis
Yeah, I miss that sound. I remember fire engines and cranes also. Especially the cranes on jobs running constant RPM. Actually, I also really remember the excavation equipment like pans. A friend's dad ran equipment and I remember in the '60s the blowers were always getting stolen from the job site by guys running them on their drag cars.

Re: GM Semis
I worked at a saw mill that had an old Cat running it. The owner had a friend that had a much bigger setup with a de-barker, a mill, conveyors and a chipper all running with different 71's at max. You couldn't hear yourself think.

Re: GM Semis
I'm not sure what I showed already. I just love more truck pictures, even ugly ones! This last picture is great for showing early-60s time capsule. I always liked seeing the lowes trucks out on the road. I wonder how many they ordered.

finding those trailers to restore must be extremely difficult. Absolutely gorgeous rig.

Re: GM Semis
You got that right. I'm in the historic truck scene (don't own one) and I can tell you a guy with a slick old tractor would give his left... they get really happy when they can get their hands on an era trailer of any type. A car carrier has to be about the hardest find, I would think. And for cool factor, add old cars! Only thing cooler would be a lowboy with a piece of construction equipment

Went to see my girlfriend the other day and nearly curb checked my Silverado when I spotted this ol' girl too bad she's a dump truck and has a Cat 3406B engine saw her back in March maybe the Cat is preventing her from being sold? https://www.pbtruck.com/Sales/Invent...ails/?u=190775 if I had the funds I'd buy it and convert it into a day cab semi and buy Tempte Super Hopper and do some grain hauling or I'd go up to Minnesota and buy this Bison
http://m.binkleytruck.com/List/Truck/ForSale/20705907 with higher miles but she has a wet kit and a 8V92 and whens the last time you've seen a big Chevy or an old Jimmy Gen on the roads? since 2005 I've seen maybe half a dozen in Nebraska and the White/GMC's and getting less common as the years go by |

Re: GM Semis
Judging from the length, I would bet that Jimmy was a road tractor when new. There is one just like it here, with dump on longer wheel base, and Cummins. A kid that used to work here bought it, and I think he is going to put it to work.

Re: GM Semis
I agree on it probably not always being a dump/former road tractor. I don't know Nebraska weight/axle laws, but here in Maryland with that steel body and tandem set-up it couldn't haul enough to make any money. All the old guys had to ad tag axles and aluminum bodies or get new trucks. I see a few around, mostly dumps. There is a grain body I see locally at harvest time. But you know those trucks tend to hang around a long long time
