Default Re: Best truck, motorhome and trailer pictures

Circa 1974, this is what I built to take my Nova to E-town and NY National. It was a old 1956 2-ton Coca-Cola truck I bought from the bottler in Bethlehem, PA and had Grubb Brothers Automotive in Hellertown weld the center section of an old car hauler to it. I moved to Florida about 2 years later and installed a 396/360 in it to replace the terrible 6 that kept eating distributors at an alarming rate. Shoulda kept it, but it was tough finding a place I could park! Can't keep 'em all!

Lew, did that old truck have those goofy really skinny 18" wheels and tires?Being an original 6 cyl. truck, I would imagine it was sporting some pretty steep rear end gearing too!

Rory,

If I remember right it had something like 19.5 one-piece rims and used the same tires the U-haul vans used. It had a 6-something (mountain gear) one speed rear axle, which was fun with the big-block, but ran out of rpm's rather quickly! 56 MPH all-out !
