Re: GM Semis

It resembles the direction fleet hauler construction came to be today, except the narrow eyed look. It's neat that a trucking company took this upon themselves to do rather than wait for manufacturers to catch up. I wonder why they scrapped the idea. Maybe it didn't save fuel after all? To expensive for the gain in fuel economy. DOT didn't like something a bout it, such as safety?

Now I want to go to Brandywine Truck Parts to see what they have sitting there these days. We have a cool yard I have yet to visit, R.L. Jackson in Port Deposit, MD. He has old trucks/parts. Got to try to get there before the bees and snakes . Probably waited too long, getting too busy for such foolishness. We went to that museum in Feb, so at least dd that. Next winter if not this year
