Know anything about 1960s-1970s GM Big Trucks ?

Weird.  I'll say it took a little longer than typical, but it worked.  Beats me.

Microsoft Edge, and yes, can navigate the page.

THANKS ! Now THAT is a good find !

62 bids and only $2,225; that truck was a steal; I wish I had been there = it would be sitting here at the house now.

I bet that 238 Detroit sounds off.

Whoever typed it up didn't know what they were talking about "two-speed axle"

  Of all the road tractors I've owned only one had Budd wheels and if I'd ordered it instead of getting what was on the lot, it would have also had spoke wheels. I can change a flat on the side of the road with a Dayton wheel and be back going before a road service truck could leave its shop. I also know how to properly tighten a Dayton wheel so that it runs true and doesn't  slip on the spoke and I only use a 4-way lug wrench and I've been doing it for 50+ years

The mechanical and tire world is full of idiots with impacts.

I have probably put more wheels on, big truck or little car, than any man alive; and, I only ever resort to an impact wrench when it is the last resort.

I never allow anyone else to remove or install wheels on anything of mine because they think they are at the Indy 500 on a pit crew and will hammer them on with a big impact until Goliath himself could never get them off, warping wheels, hubs, and rotors, and stretching/stressing studs, not to mention cross-threading the studs/nuts such that, when the next poor guy that comes along tries to remove the nuts they spin on the stripped portion and will never come out over the larger wadded up portion, causing one to have to bring out the cold chisel and hammer or torch or both.

The huge problem with being in the tire business is you have to come along behind these idiots with impacts and try to remove the wheels without the studs twisting off or the threads stripping, often on these stupid pot-metal(Aluminum Alloy) wheels where the nut is two inches deep down in a hole where a thin-wall socket won't fit, let alone a  big cold chisel.

In all honesty, it is worth ten dollars a wheel to the tire shop owner when the customer brings in the wheels and leaves the car/truck at home.

   

S/n is 5J088496 the ONLY hard numbers KW installed was 088496  MO number is seriously LONGER.  Had we opted to license this RV, the Title would have changed from Road Tractor to RV and the VIN would have been Changed to reflect that.  Would never have been allowed to return to Road Tractor ever again.

As to the OP, I do NOT Miss the 5500, 7500 or 9500 series.

The V-12 gas-burners I have seen are two V-6 connected end-to-end; is that how your's was ?

I own a 1964 GMC 1-1/2-ton with Gas V-6 and 4-speed w/single-speed axle.

After my dead-beat crooked lawyer brother took everything my father had, unfortunately, the truck was sitting on my father's property; all I have to show for it is the title.

He put up big posts and hung locked cables across the drive before they got the casket lid closed.

I should report it stolen.

BTW...

Hi, My name is Dave, and I have a 478 V6, a Clark 5 speed, and a 4-speed Spicer auxiliary in my driveway waiting for it's turn for attention...

(but if someone had a 702 twin-six they wanted to trade... I'd be tempted to do so, and bore and stroke it to 956...  and find a way to mid-engine it into a long-bed pickup )

Yep, Mine is the 7041.   2.31, 1.21, 1, 0.86
