Re: GM Semis
Back around a dozen years ago, I bought a model 700 fat cab , down in remote SE West Virginia . It had a small displacement "big six" engine, had been a fire truck in New Jersey, later got repurposed as a tractor with 5th wheel, air compressor for trailer brakes with an air over hydraulic master cylinder. Kind of an unsafe truck because no brakes til you got air built up, somebody took the parking brake parts and lost them .
It had the unusual cab with no center window , but had the corner windows.
I first thought somebody,[perhaps the firetruck body manufacturer], had taken a sheet of steel and blocked off the rear window . But soon a friend sent me a copy of that same ad regarding fat cab options .
All in all, it had a nice chrome grille with only 1 hole in back of cab for a heavy duty radio antenna. I was gonna repower with a 4-71N with an added turbo, but ended up selling and delivering it to Indiana, Pennsylvania .
