I figured there would be some interest in these.
This is the only reason I can't see letting the big three go under. Who is going to build our vehicles for the milatary?

Those are some great trucks. Too bad GM can't rely on their past for their future.

Cool website. I like this panel with dual front and rear tires!

**special-K** · 12-18-2008, 10:13 PM

^Really^,I heard that.Andy,this thread is awesome and what a great reference for all.You make an excellant point afor needing the Big-3.I wonder how much effort the Germans and Japanese would have put out to keep our troops rolling so we could fight a war against them.We won that war with our homeland effort as well as with troops abroad.

**leddzepp** · 12-18-2008, 10:14 PM

Would be great if we could quash the global economy and go back to pre-WWII isolationism. JMHO.

I wouldn't mind a bit going back into time a little. The big three didn't get where they are today on there own. The government had a hand in it also. They already bailed Chrysler out one time.
My dad is really big on buying American. It's our only hope he say's! I agree too! So keep buying those Chevy trucks guy's it's our only hope!!!

I love that dual dually!

dan42 · 12-19-2008, 01:33 AM

Actually, we have a Beamer right now, but I would like to buy an American car next, after all the stuff that's happened. It just seems to be the right thing to do.

In more recent years the military trucks have been running big singles because they are better off road.So,guys are swapping them onto the earlier trucks.Purdy dang kewl,huh?

Another fine GMC truck. I spotted this M 211 Cargo truck for sale on another site.

My '69 GMC dump truck has a military dump body on it. Look familiar??

Dooley · 10-23-2009, 11:01 AM
