Re: GM Semis
Aircraft toter, right? I had no idea what I had found when I saw that one locally. I never talked to anyone about it, but wanted to track down the owner. Once I got on the internet searching up old truck pictures I found another one with some info. Sure would be a cool antique truck show vehicle
Check this little "semi" out

Re: GM Semis
There's a member here that I think might like to see this. I won't mention any names but his initials are Mountie. Sorry about the color

Re: GM Semis
Cool ad. I remember one in particular. The sound of it is what got first got my attention. Funny, they stopped for a while and then started again in the late 70's. Would had been nice if they just kept them going. Although the later one was a turbo.
The other strange thing is they were only available in Chevys and not GMC's in the 60's when they were offered. Guess GMC didn't want any competition with the Toro-Flow, but they still could have offered both.

Re: GM Semis
Interesting truck.
A 5000 with Air Brakes, Heavy Axle with Wide Fenders and 10 Bolt Lugs. Must have a 401. If it had a 478, it would have been a 6500.

Nice trucks and a good load of hay there.

Re: GM Semis
They're 7 bales up. Should be but 13.6 but we're good for 14'0 out west.

Re: GM Semis
That reminds me of the "Long Trailer" movie with Lucy and Desi. Only they towed it with a convertible, lol.

Not sure where to post this GMC I saw today. Mud flaps said Detroit Diesel.

Re: GM Semis
I prefer a straight axle 80 series, but this photo will have to do.

Re: GM Semis
I hate Dayton wheels, but I agree on the 80 series.
