Re: GM Semis
You are probably right, I don't have much '66 material. In '67, there was an MG60, which was a tandem with the 478 ToroFlow and the regular '67 light and medium duty cab. There was also a JJ80, which was a tandem with the 637 ToroFlow V-8 and the shorter (GMC built) cab. '66 was an odd year because it was the first year of the H/J series trucks which replaced many of the larger '60-up conventional cab trucks.

Re: GM Semis
Caught my attention as well. Mid 60's 10 wheelers are on of my all time favorites!

Re: GM Semis
That got my attention too Tim. I'd have to check some of my books. They look like '65 Models.
Nice collection of Chevys.

Re: GM Semis
I had to check the books too! I completely forgot about the Chevy tandem 80 series with the diesel. It is the V80 series vs. the M 80 series, which was the gas model. Check out the large front bumper, something I thought was a GMC only item, but apparently used on these heavy Chevies too.

Re: GM Semis
The tanks have "diesel" written on them if you zoom in.

Re: GM Semis
Wait a minute! That Astro 95 in CarolinaHD's post is another unicorn. Double bunk Astro 95, notice the extra long cab. Very sketchy history, some say GMC built 11 or so.
http://forums.aths.org/76957/Gmc-ast...ks?PageIndex=6 You guys do come of with some great pictures!

Re: GM Semis
Oh yeah, S.E. Rykoff. Big restaurant supply/grocer is Los Angeles, eventually became part of U.S. Foods. Rycoff was known for their large and impressively maintained fleet, most of which was GMC's for many years. Throughout the 60's and 70's, they ran a lot of Toroflow diesels, and supposedly got great service out of them. Remember seeing their pea-green trucks all over the place when I was a kid.

Re: GM Semis
Thank you, I cant take the credit though. I find most of these pics on Instagram or google and screenshot them.

Re: GM Semis
That is quite a unique build in that last truck. All about the haul with a place reserved for the operator and controls... a phone booth for two!
I'm on a newer computer and fresh out of pictures. My old 'put power jack failed. I'm waiting to get together with a friend more savvy than me to open it up and splice the power cable in. I want my pictures!

Re: GM Semis
Great pictures.
A Cummins 903 in the Wrecker? What no Detroit, lol. Like the Chevys on the Assembly Line. 1970 or a little newer Chevy 80 or Chevy 90 trucks.
