From the first pictures I was thinking it's sitting in the middle of nowhere. If they are scarce,that's a great find.

Steve Hafner · 08-01-2012, 08:20 AM

. . . .

Here are a few of mine over the years:

My 71 GMC Astro 95 in 1977. My first GMC bus, 5873. ( inside and out ) My only Chevy, 5561.

The last gasoline powered bus Baltimore County Schools purchased, 5964.

Air Brakes with the old style pedal in bus #5561. Don't believe I ever saw one before.

Was your Astro Detroit powered?

The picture of the interior is actually from 5873 ( the pictures didn't load in the right order, TWICE !!! )

Yes, the Astro had a 318 HP Detroit V8 with a 13 speed . . . VERY underpowered in todays world without a turbo !!!
( but it had power steering and air . . . most didn't in 1977.)

Never saw the old style pedal in vehicle that new. I had that style pedal in my '62 GMC 6500. What year is bus 5873?

Bigasstrux · 08-02-2012, 04:08 PM

My 1988 Kodiak has that type pedal and has air brakes. I have built several 84 thru 88 C7000s & Topkicks that had the same type pedal.

Your Kodiak on the left, looks like it has a rubber "pad" . . . 5873 on the right, had a metal pad and was slippery when it got wet. ( same grooves though )

I think 5873 was a 1987 bus.

Guys let me tell ya im absolutley in love with this ol 68 c50 that sits at the back of my grandparents house its an aluminum box truck but its really sweet its got a straight six i want to haul it home but im only 16 and its bout a foot in the ground sunk

jtj143 · 08-22-2012, 10:56 PM

Found this C90 on the way to a cemetery the other day...

It has an old 'For Sale' sign in the windshield. Anything written long ago has since faded. I don't know anything about these bigger trucks. Wonder what year model it is?

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-23-2012, 09:09 AM

Interesting truck. It is at least a 1970 or newer, but probably not any newer than a '74. It has a 10-Speed Road Ranger trans and most likely has a 6-71 Detroit Diesel in it.

Strange it has a low GVW though at 29,900. It probably only has a 7000 Front Axel, which was the minimum.

Wondering what they would take for just the tractor?

Bill

**special-K** · 08-24-2012, 10:48 PM

I'd like to have the tractor and trailer.

jasons · 09-27-2012, 03:01 PM

Here's one that met a sad end a couple days ago.

darrellkershaw · 04-06-2018, 05:10 PM

it will buff right out!

Mmmm,I dunno. Haul trucks? Or,how about vintage equipment?

Something cool about a big Chevrolet truck instead of a GMC. You think of GMC more than Chevy.

PAWS 72 · 09-27-2012, 09:32 PM

Look good with an old restored tractor on there, then an old GMC on the back.

Flat 67 · 09-29-2012, 12:15 AM

That one on it's side almost looks like mine..............

1985-GMC · 09-27-2012, 07:04 PM

That's not the end, its just a slight bump in the road... so to speak.

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-21-2012, 11:41 PM

Thought I would get this thread going again. Here is one of the best examples of a 10-Speed Road Ranger Trans that I've seen.

Now the truck itself is not GM, but the Engine is. I posted this for the Trans, but at the same time, enjoy the sound of another 6-71 Detroit:

Sweet! Thanks for the video. I felt like I was riding with my Dad in the 70's.

Did you have a cold beer in your lap too!?
