Chevy's version of the GMC Top Kick.

A Kodiak.

Looks like a well speced out Medium.

Wow, look what I found yesterday, believe me, I don't need more trucks but I'm going after this one, gota have it cause I'm a front wheel drive kind of guy. I don't know anything about this series sheet metal, can someone tell me what year to what year they ran this cab and clip and what model designations they were. Sorry no close ups yet, was busy hauling cat 955 home.

looks like a 1960-63 judging by the wrap around front windsheild.

Right, '60 to '63 GMC Series B.

Believe they were made the same as the others, '60 to '66.

Probably has one of the larger V-6 Gas Engines.

They are similar looking.

That is called an "N" Series.

Don't know on the grill, is kind of strange, thought maybe it was after market modification. May take a short drive sunday, 80 miles one way and see if its for sale, oh please let it be for sale, would be a nice light load for the 288. Let ya know if its good news, posting pics of yesterdays trip on my 69 Pete thread in a few minutes.

Another "B" series along the newer ? 90" cab? If you like 60-66's you'll like the B series, if you like 67-72's you probably like the 90" cab.

Cool looking fleet.

In that picture you can see what the Grille is supposed to look like.

I would say that the Grille on the truck that Peanutbutter is looking at got damaged in an "artistic" way.

Maybe they thought it would help the rad cool better, can't wait to get an up close look at it. Maybe I''ll be looking for a better grill ???

This tractor appears to be a little too light to be hauling a large trailer, probably a GM staged photo.

A few brochure covers on the B and others.

Good looking Brochures.

Another picture of the rare 6500 Conventional.

It's even the same color as the one I drove was.

Although it very well could have been staged, it would have been OK as long as it didn't exceed the GCVW.

Some companies would haul pretty light loads.

Good looking Road Tractor.

making the brosures that way is a dying artform , there hardly people left that can use pen and paint with brush or airbrush to make them on paper

Re: GM Semis
 
That all wheel drive B could possibly have a V12. How cool would that be?? Kinda doubt it,though,cuz it would move the gear boxes way back for the front drive.

I love them Bs. Some folks can like more than one series of trucks and I like 'em all!

In Post #290 the truck on the right may not have been built in '66 since the style on the left began that year. Not sure if they overlapped. The New Breed style (if you want to call it that) actually began in '66 with these trucks,if you consider them the same style as the C-series
