GMC Brigadier

[Dukeman]

Any one seen one of these before? I know its not military, but I was driving down the street from our shop this morning and saw it. Pretty impressive. Don't know much about it, just looked cool so I though I would show.

Looks like the Chevy C60 with a sleeper cab and setup as a semi (I've only seem flatbeds & dump-trucks around here).

I'd buy it and paint it green and drive it everywhere in a heartbeat! How much are they asking?

 

[southdave]

did they use duct tape on sleeper truck connection

That's a nice Eaton front drive axle.

Yea that is pretty cool. First time I ever saw a Brigadier with front drive axle, I have driven a Brigadier it's one step down from GMC General.. The one I drove had 671 DD and fuller 10. If I has extra money yea it would be nice to have.

I know that bumper is used on most of the trucks up here on the gas rigs.

I'd guess that at some point in it's previous life it was configured as a concrete mixer.

We have one without the sleeper that I picked up at Riley. It had a 8.2 diesel in it, never heard of the 8.2 before. It was pretty low mileage, had a deuce box on it and some really wide tires. We broke the transfer case unloading it, appeared to be a 205 though. The front axle should be good for something. The passenger's seat was a short bucket and is working quite well on one of our larger forklifts. I was interested in possibly making a 6x6 out of the transfer case and front axle, we have a Brigadier roll off truck with a 6-71 in it. Glen

The 8.2 was a 4-stroke diesel made by Detroit called the "fuel miser." I hate them. Definitely NOT a 2-stroke; while the Series 50 & 60 4-cycle diesels are great engines, the 8.2 had issues.

I believe that Ford used them in a lot of their medium-duty trucks as well.

Either that or a power company line truck . If it was a concrete mixer it would have a double frame .

That's a redneck wet dream right there!
