    I really like that Chevy Cabover I drove a GMC Astro only one day kind of the same thing Wayback in 1976 they were both very cool rigs ... bob

    My dad had a couple of Astros back in 1974, some of the features were pretty nice. Low wraparound dash, big windshield, tilt wheel. They had low-mount side mirrors, I don't know how well those worked.

    Even has an after market hill climbing helper on the right side of the cab. :whistling:

    I was working at a Cat dealer in 1981, we had a brand new 3208 come in that would make a sound like valves hitting the pistons every time you started it. We checked a lot of things over before the lead mechanic noticed the spaghetti line feeding into the intake. Come to find out it had an electric solenoid that put a shot of ether in there every time you started it, no thermostat to cancel it when the engine was warm.

    I got hired in 73 to replace a guy that got hit with one... bob

    What condition was he in after the hit? Interesting that you say that, because I got hired as a truck fleet mechanic in 1984 at Pic-Way Shoes after the guy before me stopped in the street to pick up a carton of cigarettes that someone dropped. A lady who was legally blind ran over him and he was killed.

  4. This ad on ebay says this was part of their historical fleet and stored indoors. Looks really sharp! $34,500 or best offer.
