1 of the Trucks I drive at work 48 steel hauler

Just thought I'd show you one of the trucks I drive at work it's a 57 GMC Chassis that had a gas engine originally ,a 1952 KW front and a section 48 ford cab this is a true center steer with a escape hatch on top they put in a Cummins and no room for a turbo took out the original 5 speed main and put in an RTO 13 with 3 deep under and left the 3 speed brownie so do the math and you can see how many fwd and rev gears I have . I get a lot of looks driving this thing people are always taking pics of it . I can haul 42.5 feet legally on it front to back is 30 ft .

That cab really does make you stop and do a double take.

Looks more like a cockpit than a cab. Definitely cool.
