Simon Auto Wrecking, 22 Tilly Foster Road, Brewster NY 10509

It's a Craigslist ad that i found. Opposite side of the world from me but I thought someone on the other coast might take a look at her.

Hope this doesn't violate any board rules.

Re: GM Semis
 

I remember seeing that GMC 750 a month ago in Craigslist, some place in North Jersey?, I think they wanted $850

Re: GM Semis
 

Can't see the link...

The old GMC rides again. Although backwards. :lol:

Re: GM Semis
 

Woo hoo!!!, congratulations!!! Glad you got it!. You need to start your own thread with it to keep us updated.
What's your first plan of attack?

Re: GM Semis
 

Chase the bugs and critters out. Go over the engine to see if it's safe to start. Fire it up if it is. Go thru the brakes and fluids. Temporary floor pan, temporary seat, and test drive the beast!

If that all shakes out good I'll work up a plan of attack and down to the frame she goes for restoration.

Might have found a parts trucks too. Fingers crossed on that one. =)

Re: GM Semis
 

Glad to see you got it.

As mentioned, keep us posted on it.

Re: GM Semis
 

Woo-HOOO! Another one on the path towards resurrection!

Dangit, I just looked and you're on the other side of the state from me, I'd love to see that truck. :D

Re: GM Semis
 

If you're ever over on this side you're welcome to come by the shop anytime. The doors are always open. =)

Re: GM Semis
 

Great news to hear. I wish I was you :lol:

Re: GM Semis
 

Sweet save.
California truck too, hope the Washington weather hasn't rusted it too bad.

Re: GM Semis
 

67-72 , but maybe all years didn't offer the 427 as a medium truck engine .

I have a "cherry" cab with the same front clip available in upstate eastern NY. Early service was a fire truck, then served in street maintenance dept . It has the flared front fenders, like pictured. PM me if interested !

Re: GM Semis
 

From what I can see, I can narrow it down to 70-72. It lacks the '69-style clearance lamps, but they could be changed, so maybe '69 is possible. Not sure on years of engine options

Re: GM Semis
 

Also, I would need to research it, but weren't the Heavier Trucks up to '69 the "E" Series ?

BTW, it is a GMC with it's Letters missing on the grille.

Cracker Box Flatbed. Cool truck.

Dual Stacks to boot.

Re: GM Semis
 

kindah suprized they ran those exhaust stacks so close to the hay
wouldve figured they would run the exhaust underneath the flatbed to prevent firehazzards

Re: GM Semis
 

I know where it is. Northbound I-83 south of York, PA. The blue trailer could be Maersk Line and probably hauling from Baltimore harbor.

Re: GM Semis
 

PAcarhauler has a ton of pics from that spot.

Re: GM Semis
 

I've got a few GMC brochures from Motor Inn Auto Co. in upstate NY that I bought at Hershey or Macungie. Kind of nostalgic, as our farm was 10 miles away and I'd visit the dealership and dream as a teenager. They were Olds/GMC dealers through the 50s, it's the village firehouse now.

Re: GM Semis
 

That's my route to Macungie. Actually, I bought my first Blazer up that way in Red Lion in '82 (a '71)
Dan, let me teach you how to post pictures. You are depriving us! I know you could show a lot. If it's on your computer I can help you put it here. I can run you though it, I think, in a few simple steps

Re: GM Semis
 

Still waiting to get to Sykesville, [and of course Mt. Airy] when my older sis gets back from Florida. We haven't been your way since Christmas 2014. Also gotta see the progress on Billy Marlow's 860 .
