Like #263. Wowwww....that aluminum GMC foot plate just made my jaw drop. wowwww...

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

I know... very unique.

[@muffs55mercury61]

Back when I was driving I noticed how many old trucks had survived in the Rust Belt states. In PA and NY state especially. It really was like time warp when it came down to trucks (& a few buses) Many of these were solid like the green GMC here just waiting for a loving new owner to take them away. Except for the floor the GMC is a great candidate for restoration & so is the Astro.

[@bradh7472]

That 860 is SOLID!!! You need that one!! :-)

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

They all look real solid and restorable..

[@richardkoontz8427]

Hey that's a cool 860 have not seen one for a long time what a perfect peice of history

[@David_Richard_241]

The 860 is one of my favorite trucks ever. I was too young to know many details, but my steel-hauler neighbor across the road in rural Richland County retired his 860 for a Crackerbox. All I can remember is it was a tandem tag and it made a LOT of Detroit noise. I remember looking out our front window and seeing it across the road in the field until someone finally bought it and drove it away. I always wanted to drive one some day. But what I REALLY want to drive is a long-nose 9500 with a Buzzin' Dozen. Someday....maybe...

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Hey Dane, There was one of those cool 55 or so GMC extended tractor about 10 or 15 yrs ago near the Clay City, Ky. Dragstrip by the Mountain Parkway. It looked like a pickup load of Ivy growing on it. Good luck on your shoppin.

[@bertgrau3934]

Good morning Dane, You find some nice trucks in your part of the country. I'm surprised at how good that 860 looks on the inside. The driver seat looks bad, but that's pretty common on older trucks. I'm not sure what year the Freightliner is, I'm guessing it's an early 80's or newer. One thing about the Transtar, unless it was an Eagle, they had a plain dash. The Eagle had the fake wood, but it looked lots nicer. Just my opinion. Have a wonderful day sir. And keep those videos of those old trucks coming. I've seen a few where I live, nothing as nice as what you find.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Thanks for watching Bert. 😬👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool, this gives me an idea to build a worn out model truck in a diorama!

[@7.3life]

Very cool. That Transtar reminds me of the one in the movie Rolling Vengeance, even the same color.

[@claytonbarbour2600]

I drove a 80 brigadier tri axle aluminum dump in the early 90's that had a 871 with what 13 speed and the same roof console. I loved that truck.

[@andrewnorris1514]

Clayton. Didn't it kinda hurt getting passed by a cummins?

[@rexgratteaux8655]

Brigadier's were awesome trucks brother I agree , 8V71 power great

[@timothypeterson1166]

Good morning 👍

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Morning 😊

[@darrellsaunders4267]

They started putting that radio case on the first Brigadier's with more speakers....the 9500's had a black case with a single speaker on the bottom.

[@bowslap]

Unfortunate that the owner was inhospitable, but that’s how it goes sometimes…perhaps he might be more amenable in the future. I’d venture to guess that 860 likely has a 4-71…..already know what the “new bucket” is, from FB…..good save! Will contact you again on the mug, looking forward to enjoying a weekend cup being drank from it. The irony of being a trucker that’s too busy for Java through the week🤣

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

I know ... it’s gonna happen, gotta go uptown tomorrow so hopefully can stop and get the shipping cost.

Wow just wow

[@the.porter.productions]

Porter greetings to ya! 🇺🇸 Yeah, I get in so much trouble when I’m out in the road cause I’m rubber neck in for old trucks in the field or behind the buildings.🧐 I’m just always looking for old cars & trucks! Good catch! My dad had an 860 bus back in the day that someone had intentions of making a motor home out of but didn’t finish. They weren’t always my favorite, it I did. Think that they were pretty cool! To think of it, I never got to hear that old 860 run. Shame! I liked all of these trucks!🥰 The 860 really needs some help, but is still worth it. The owner must still like the cabovers. What about the yard truck? Those are cool, too. Not much to them, for the most part, but a little unique. It’s good that you missed out on lunch then. Hope that you did get some food for the bellies. You sure had plenty of eye candy with these trucks!🥰 Maybe the owner was having a bad day or something like that. Good stuff! 🥰😎✌️

[@edwarddavis507]

Very nice find Dane! All of those rigs took me back. What a treat to see those in such good condition, too!

Hello Dane, nice find. That 860 would be an awesome resto project, but try and find parts would be a little difficult. Just have to rebuild parts and make others from scratch, all part of the challenge. Taker easy buddy.............

[@blackfox1961]

Love the 860. Am curious what engine it had? No drought there were several options.

[@edwardpate6128]

Might even be a gasser.

[@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE]

Wish I knew. Owner wasn’t friendly.

[@danielrenovetz5721]

860s were only built with the 6-71, but there were similar models called 800 that had option of 503 inline gas, or the rare 4-71T. '57 was the first year for turbo 4-71s and 6-71s, as well as air suspension . The 900 series could have had a 6-71T starting in '57. Brand X engines weren't installed at the GMC factory until the early '60s .

[@blackfox1961]

@@danielrenovetz5721 Thank You for that information

[@jackworkman9883]

I new you where going to bring that one home it’s a good looking truck

[@jerrykinnin7941]

There's a guy running a solid White Transtar 2 got a mild factory stretch to it. Pulls a 53 ft van Runs up I 71 thru Cincinnati for Nalls Specialized Elizabeth town KY. Dual stacks with the bright mufflers. It's GOURGOUS. I say hi when I see it. I'd run any one of those rides. That 860 needs a Roadway style dolly tag axle so is can pull my container chassis. Hook up a 40 ft spread axle Ravens or City covered wagon to those 3 cabovers. Then you'd be a steel hauler Pennsylvania style.
