i think if you look intoo tractor or field equipment you should be able to find sumting in a 20 " size
there a few companies that sell oldtimer type tyres in europe too that would fit youre size and weightrating
http://www.oldtimerbv.nl/tableaux/in...14&itemId=1180 the netherlands close enough?
you should be able to make a 19,5" innertube fit

there companies that make a living out of refurbishing old autogauges i think there still salvageable

Always wondered why they put the Van on "backwards"?

But I guess it could be that they didn't like how the Headlights would have shined through the Cab-Over in the night picture ??

i will watch

Re: GM Semis
 

Could you imagine OSHA freaking out over the guys riding on the load.
Neat pics.

Re: GM Semis
 

This thread makes me happy.

Heres a GMC I drive by from time to time. I think its a 1958 but not positive. I wonder what engine it might have?

Re: GM Semis
 

Probably has either a 4-71 or a 6-71 Detroit.

That's an awesome truck, you're lucky to drive it!

Re: GM Semis
 

Re: GM Semis
 

I wish, I don't even know if it runs. I just pass by where its parked whenever I head to my moms. It could probably be bought, the guy was trying to sell it a couple years ago.

Re: GM Semis
 

Misread your post, I thought you got to drive it, instead of drive by! Thanks for the pics.

Re: GM Semis
 

its so sad that most of those cars and trucks are no exist

i live in the netherlands and there was one carmanufacturer here called DAF that made cars in larger series , they basicly where the dutch volkswagen beetles
the cars had a variomatic transmission and could run backwards as fast as forward
a lot later somewhere in the 70's there was a populair tv-show that used a lot of these cars in reverse demolition derbies as they ran the fastest and this show just about wiped out all of those cars still left in existance

Re: GM Semis
 

Interesting race footage!

Re: GM Semis
 

It must be difficult for those drivers to adjust to driving from the left side of the vehicle :lol:
I bet there are a lot of neck injuries...even without a wreck!! :lol:

I don't think I have shown this one here yet:

Re: GM Semis
 

Not sure if mine counts, but during my last deployment, my wife found a 1954 Chevy 6400 with a flatbed. I guess the guy wanted about 1500, but I stole it for 800 and it runs really good. Rebuilding my shop when I get back, then this and my 67 will be getting some attention. Looking for some inspiration. Was used as a local water truck, so the flatbed was covered in sheetmetal, and it's rusted to hell...the body needs a little work, but overall, the truck is solid.

Here it is...needs a lot of work, but fun truck to drive

Here it is next to my 67 k10...and the shop that's getting rebuilt
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...113_090504.jpg

My original plan was t restore it and go with a 2 tone forest green and black look re-do all the chrome bumpers and such, totally restore (actually rebuild) flatbed, to wood and use it as a weekender or hay hauler. add a removable 5th wheel hitch for heavy trailer hauling

comments suggestions welcome.

Re: GM Semis
 

thats is a beautiful truck , would be fun if you could find some container/camperunit for it that fit on the flatbed and take it on a trip , even though i guess sitting in there for longer trips isnt exactly good for youre back
