Mother's Rock Shop was a famous place back then, it's been on twitter.OK... gotta ask; how did you guys know that place was in OKC? I mean Mr Photon 440 is in canada and Mr DeltaV is in Georgia... how would you recognise something deep in the middle of the Flyover Zone and even know it was on Paseo St apparently?!?!? What am I missing?
C’mon Wayne answer. 6v92?
I drove for the local Allied agent in '77. The agency had a '72 Brockway with a 6V71 Detroit. Screamed like a scalded cat to reach 10 mph.
Looks like the Nova (Chevy 11) had a bit of a Bobo. Silly bowtie drivers. Lol.
That GMC is an Astro 95. The cracker boxes were the earlier cabover trucks with the rear corner of the cab cut at a 45 degree angle. The looked like an upside down Nabisco box,aka cracker boxes.
You are correct, an Astro. Part of clutch linkage was tied to the cab, when starting out on a hill the cab would rock to the right and engage clutch all the way. Had to floor the throttle or it would stall out, ask me how I know..
Did the same with a Kenworth K100. Drove the real thing eight years later, shortly before cabovers faded away, after 1980 changes in overall length limits.
