It's got a 351 V-6 and a Clark 5-speed transmission with direct drive in 5th. gear. I'm about to remove the fire bed and driveline-mounted pump, and install a 3-speed auxiliary transmission with OD, a 5th. wheel, and a gooseneck trailer hitch to make a heavy-duty trailer towing rig. http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/61_GMC_001.jpgJerry

That's really about all I know about it. Its a 1960 model. I'm thinking of restoring it but I need a cab and doors in a really bad way. Any ideas | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,746 | Most of the big rigs got worn out and scrapped many years ago. About the only option would be to search out-of-the-way salvage yards where you might be able to acquire a body/frame assembly that's had the running gear scavenged out of it.

They are usually low mileage and not complete rust buckets. JW, can we see a picture of your tandem...sounds neat!
