Found this old critter, but its not a typical GMC 5500. It has Deuce rims, air over hydraulic breaks, Rockwell axles. and many other interesting "upgrades?....."
Couldn't find a data plate but it appears to be an auger/drill truck possibly for setting poles. The derek and drill have been removed.
I'm looking to ID the truck and possibly find some manuals, and parts sources.
What I know is:
1969 GMC 5500
Utility brand body
Rockwell Axles
292 straight 6
manual transmission
used by the Air Force.
break system and axles are not "standard" for this truck. seems to be re-geared for parts compatibility.
any input would be good, thanks
