Saw this the other day at the wrecking yard and thought you guys might appreciate it.

I appreciate all three but they would be a lot of work to restore

C10 - C90 Bill · 05-14-2014, 08:48 AM

Other than the loss of paint and some surface rust, which might not be that bad seeing they are in Texas, they just may could be good restore-ables.

Very cool! Looks like they've been there awhile, hopefully someone will save 'em.

I like the sleeper on the GMC. I sometimes wish I would have been born 20 years earlier so I could have herded those kind of rigs over the old route 66. Who knows maby I did in a past life?

The sleeper appears to be just setting on the frame, not an integral sleeper . An aquaintance still has an integral sleeper GMC 900 in the Catskills of New York . It was used to power a sawmill for years .Driveshaft was hooked direct to the saw mandrel.

Love that fat cab. Put batteries and some fuel in and drive it away

warrior9 · 05-14-2014, 11:53 PM

These trucks are at a salvage yard. the owner wont sell them but he wont crush them either. He just has his own collection of old trucks.

Old truck hugger!

The fence looks like CTC auto ranch, Sanger-just past the loves truck stop north o Denton, i havent seen these there but , those prices .... i dont stop by there much to look.

C10 - C90 Bill · 07-09-2014, 12:10 AM

If it is CTC, it is one interesting place. Mostly cars I believe, but the place is quite large and they specialize in antique parts.
