So 244,000 ish for the locomotive plus another 40k for truck and trailer being conservative. 284,000lbs on 5 axles!!! Thats like 56k an axle if all was equal but you know the front axle probably isnt carrying more than 16. Wow!! Times was a whole lot different. Put ya in jail for those shananigans today.

You left out " repossession "

That rig would look cool to restore but leave some of the patina ....

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Interesting truck.

If original, it's either a '64 or '65 and looks like a 5000 Model and could possibly be a 6500. If it had the original Front Bumper, I could tell for sure.

I see an Air Horn. Does it have Air Brakes?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Great to see another 6500 out there.

They are pretty rare.

What is the GVW on it?

Also, does it still have the 478 in it?

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

After we sold my Peterbilt, we needed a heavy haul truck. The boys in our shop went out back and brought a rollover tractor, a dump truck and a single axle tractor, into the shop and built this out of the three trucks. They took it down to the bare frame rails and started back up. It obviously hasn't been to the paint shop yet but it turned out good. 60 Series Detroit w/jake brake and a 13 speed.

I haven't driven it yet but a driver took a load of steel over to NW Arkansas Friday and said it runs good.

The tag on the lower kick area says 27000 gvw and it does have the 478 with a 5 speed clark tranny in it with 2 speed rear,possibly a highway tractor when new,there is a air line valve bolted to the back of the cab that has been disconected. Found a 1965 Chevy C60 flatbed yesterday out at a old body shop, gonna get some pics today,I also have a older twin boom Holmes 600 wrecker body,so maybe another build for the brother of the GMC,lol

You are going to like that 478. Tons of Torque. You won't have trouble towing anything with it. I used to drive a '62 6500, 16 Ft Flatbed Dump. I would haul 20,000 Lbs like nothing. I even pulled a fully loaded Freight Car with it once (Railroad didn't line it up right with the dock). I had the same thing, 5-Speed Clark with a 2-Speed Rear.

Keep us posted on it.

I would never guess that was three trucks. Is that a set back front end? I know it won't be done till it's red.

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Cool old Mack popped up on the C/L

https://portland.craigslist.org/yam/...109389225.html

1958 Classic Mack Service Truck
Probably not what you have in mind to start a business, but this truck is functional as a new truck. It will get you to the job for much less than the cost of a new service truck. It has a unique look, nobody is going to mistake you for a different mechanic, its going to need welder work and it will need an air compressor. It has a 200 gallon aux fuel tank. It has two aux oil tanks and multiple tool boxes.
Runs and drives great

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful

Not sure the year of this truck. It is at the dealership I used to work at. The business was turned over to the great grandsons of the original owner. They now are selling used construction equipment. Larry the grandpa is in his 80s. The truck apparently was used by Dave Marcus. In the 70s. It is Really nice.
