41chevy Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Those are some nice trucks.The 4x4 suburbans are sharp. Napco or GM ? Like the saddle tanks on the B model don't need them but they call to me.

Maddog13407 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 (edited) looks like the Mack is rolling on Budds. cab looks solid as can be. she is an early one with the wiper motor under the dash, air horns on a pedestal and the 50's style heavy duty wrap around mirror brackets. always make me wonder why people take stuff apart... if you don't have the time or money to fix it, why take the front clip and motor all apart?

Honestly I believe they wake up one morning and decide "i'm a gonna take mah truck apart and fix the miss, tain't a gonna take mor 'n a few hours" Than the beer high wears off and they can't put it back together 2 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50479-some-gmcs/#findComment-374990 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he would sell it fairly cheap. He had a 1955 W71ST cab over that he just sold this last spring to someone in Pennsylvania, it was complete and the cab was in very good shape. He's putting his effort in GMC's. Truck Shop 2 Quote One ping only Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50479-some-gmcs/#findComment-374997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck Shop Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 I will drive out and find out what he wants for it, also there is a Mack set of rear drives {frame cut off} that go with it I believe.

Hobert62 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 In the first pic it looks like a bulkhead fitting coming through the frame rail for front brakes too. That would be good for Larry. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50479-some-gmcs/#findComment-375231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobert62 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I think they had to have brakes on 2 axles (way before my time). So it must have been an original single axle truck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50479-some-gmcs/#findComment-375245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
