I believe that Cracker Box came from my home town.

Looks like it is a '66.

Great pics, All hail the General!!!, Man those are beautiful!.

Re: GM Semis
 

That General w/dual breathers (big ones) is quite a set-up. I wonder if the red Astro is the one I took pictures of at Macungie.

Re: GM Semis
 

Sure looks the same. Although I believe it's a Titan.

Re: GM Semis
 

That bottom one is a weird looking rig. But, with the right person skill applied, could be a really cool truck!

Re: GM Semis
 

its the one most looking like a 60's chevy though
its allmost like they took the photo of a pickup through one of thouse laughningmirror programs on the computer

Re: GM Semis
 

that truck wouldve been about 6 feet longer nowadays
would make a great base for a hotrod though
i might take out the middle axle and stretch the sleeperpart all the way to the rear of the chassis and make it intoo a camper

Re: GM Semis
 

is it just me, or did they not put sleepers on any of the older semi's. I've seen quite a few cracker boxes with sleepers, but very few early to mid 60's conventionals with sleepers.

Re: GM Semis
 

i dont think they had regulated drive and rest times back then and people prolly where glad they had a job too , they prolly just propped a pillow against the doorframe put some cardboard across to cover the hole between the seats and keep the gearstick from poking them and slept that way or slept next to their load in the back
motels where prolly cheaper back in those days too

Re: GM Semis
 

Drive time has been regulated since the 40's. I'd hazard a guess the the union guys where motel bound.

Re: GM Semis
 

Like the truck as well as the '56 Chevys behind it. I've owned a few through the years.

Re: GM Semis
 

from the patina on the truck and cars it actually looks like the pic has taken recently

Re: GM Semis
 

anybody else notice that the blue truck at the top of page 15 has one stand up stack and the passenger side stack is laid down? i wonder why they did that?
