Re: GM Semis
Great shot of James.
I just saw the one where he and his Dad were both chasing down a Semi driving Bobtail. They were driving a couple of IH's. It also had a great shot of what looked like a GMC 7500 Tractor parked at the freight yard. We're going to miss him. May he Rest in Peace. Bill

I wonder if his truck survived through the years?

Re: GM Semis
Yeah, that was neat.. One question about the one ton on the top left. Anybody ever seen a wheel like the one on the front? Almost looks like a super single type setup.

Re: GM Semis
Yep,R.I.P. Mr. James Gardner. You many many smile. And you could drive hrd while eating dirt,too! I sure would like to have that Stepside now! Never liked that store-bought stuff back then.
I was going to comment on the camera truck,too. The whole thing is baddass! Yep,those are widened Budds that were chrome plated. Can't be running out of site behind the camera on anything less than custom-made chrome wheels you know. That's the truck thing i love...pride in your work horse.

Re: GM Semis
I stopped posting pictures because I lost track of what me and others showed and it's too big to check. I went through my pictures and cided the ones "I don't think" I have showed and pretty sure no one else has. So,if any are repeats I apologize in advance.
'50s car (vehicle) haulers,while we're on them:

Re: GM Semis
Tim,
I've never seen any of those, but I'm sure none of us would mind a repeat anyway!! That 's rare to see Mopars being pulled by a GM product in the bottom picture. The only time that usually would happen is if the car manufacturer didn't make a truck. The top picture is a classic. Looks good enough to frame. Bill

Re: GM Semis

Re: GM Semis
If I had a place with more room I'd have been gathering up these old Jimmys over the years

Re: GM Semis
I like that 3rd pic, Center horn, pulling the reefer. Looks like a distant inbred cousin of the "duel" Peterbilt truck.

Re: GM Semis
That would have been a pretty cool "Duel" truck. I can just hear that sweet Detroit all through the movie.
Not to take away from the original movie, which was well done. ...maybe a Duel II ?

Mostly cars and a few smaller trucks though.
