Rutland Truck Show, (1992). Mack B71, Wellington Service, Somerville MA. I was at their auction in 1987, They had two B71's this one and another one that was sold to a contractor in Leominster MA. I bought a single axle extendable pole trailer, why?. So I asked the guy from Leominster MA if he could take my trailer to his yard. He says I don't have a license to drive it or a plate. I'll drive it if you let me take my trailer, I know where your yard is, he says ok.My friend put on his dealer plate, and off I went to his yard,leaving the buyer not knowing who drove off with his truck. A week later went up to get the trailer and the guy laughed about it. The truck ran good, 220 and 9 sp. He put a snow plow and sander on it ,and saw it for about ten years, it is gone now. B61ST, Rockingham VT (1992). FW

The General didn't use the Astro cab,and yes the doors are the same. GMC started development of the Astro in 1967,and first produced in 1969. 1977 is correct for the General but probably started deveopmet eariler around the time of the Brockliner.
