1966? Cabover Prototype

Guess GMC was thinking about updating the Steel Tilt Cab in '66 or so. Glad they didn't!

That's neat looking though, at least to me. Looks like it would've shared a grille with the big Cs

Wow, that sure is different. May be like-able once getting used to it. May have been a better choice than the tilts they did have ??

Right, same Grilles.

Proportions are a little off but I'd drive it.

Looks like the Dodge L Series of the same era. I personally never warmed up to the look.

I always kinda liked those. It took me second to realize those are models.

I think over the years more plastic kits of the Dodge L-700 were made than actual Dodge L-700's!

I think your right! Now if a model of the regular GMC tilt cab ( '60-'80 ) was ever made, it would be an entirely different story.

Dumpster truck, with cab more forward and low than that Dodge or the T-series. There was a similar configuration available on the Crackerbox. I think of those Mack MRs
