Hi! I went back out to the farm,where the guy's got all of those '54-1st'55's. sitting nose-down in a ditch,is a G.M.C. cab/chassis tandem,still complete,but sheet-metal needs a lot of work. The tires appear to be 9:00X20:'s,on "Budd" wheels. seems to be a single-stick 4-speed trans. The front differential looks similar to a transfer-case. Drive-shaft connects to top section of front differential,then angles to the center of the rear differential,with the help of a 2-piece shaft/tube,(to accomodate the difference in terrain/wheel-set.Suspension is spring-over-beam. it has a couple of beefy sway-bars in the configuration,as well. Expected to see larger tires on this truck,since it was used as a dump-truck. fenders aren't much wider,(if any),than a 2-ton,and it's not an extended hood. It's got so many trees growing around it,it's hard to get a GOOD look at the cab,or sheet-metal. Looked in the back window,and where the Hi/Lo "bicycle bell" was supposed to be,there WAS a "bicycle bell",but it "read":"Wet Pavement^Dry Pavement _. Sorry my keyboard doesn't have a downward arrow. Frame and rear running gear looks all intact and springs don't appear to be broken. i NEED to tie a string around my finger! I need to take some pic's of this one,but this is the 2nd time I forgot my camera!! Stay tuned!!
