Re: GM Semis

OK, I saw this truck at the ATHS show in Brooks Oregon last year, notice the axle hub covers are in the horizontil position with the GMC logo. I don't know how they are fastened on but all six covers were turned the same way. That is paying attention to detail. This is a beautiful truck, if you ever get the chance to go to the Brooks show do so.

The tires were even mounted so the lettering on the tires would line up the same with the valve stems!

Re: GM Semis

I think those are different tires than when I saw it, he must jack up every tractor and trailer wheel and reset them before the show, I'll dig up my pics of this truck, I took lots. Thats a great show in Brooks, If you go to The Great Oregon Steamup show on the 2nd weekend then you can layover till the next weekend which is the ATHS show, once in your lifetime do this.

Re: GM Semis

another thing, the wood deck on this trailer is like the biggest dining room table I've ever seen, you can eat off of this thing.

The only flaw I can find is ll the letters at the bottom of the tire are upside down and backwards
