Re: Great Chevy Truck Film

The folks I used to work for in the winter had a pair of GM dump trucks, either 1.5 or 2 ton. One was a 1946 and the other was a 1947 and so they had completely different cab styles: the 46 was the old 41 pre-war style and the 47 was the "Advanced" style.

This was in the mid-1980s and those dump trucks were still running around their property and even some of the forest service roads. I drove both of them at one time or another as needed for hauling wood or trash, etc. You could go out there in cold weather and brush the snow off the seats and start up those old six bangers after sitting for days or weeks.

They also had a few 3/4 tons of similar vintage (47-54) with flat beds and the doors removed for running around between the cabins in the summer.


Those single axle semi-tractors with gas six bangers must have moved awfully slow up any sort of grade, but I guess as long as they kept moving it was all good for the time.

Re: Great Chevy Truck Film

When my parents got married, after WWII, they lived in the Rockies a couple of years.

They told a story about a female log truck driver. When climbing hills, on hot summer days, in her Chevrolet log truck, she would put it in low gear, pull the throttle, and climb out on the running board, with a pack of Pall Mall's rolled up in the sleeve.

Re: Great Chevy Truck Film

Trucks were all gear. Remember, they call them "tractor" trailers. And things have changed since interstates

She probably could have sat down on a rock for a smoke, and then casually walked over and caught up with the truck

Was almost that bad when I hauled logs over Cottonwood Pass (before the pavement, obviously) in my 65 GMC. But the road was really crooked so I had to stay inside and steer. Something like 30 miles in 2nd gear up and down. About the same returning empty because it was so rough. It was 6-8 hours round trip counting unloading, getting paid, and getting gas. When I got back to camp I would have "lunch" and then go out in the woods until dark getting the truck loaded again for the next day.
