Default Re: 1962 Gmc dump truck

Funny you mention 62 MPH. That's the exact number that my '62 6500 topped out at. Back then and on the roads I was driving on, it was plenty enough. I also drove that truck during the "double nickel" days back in the '70's that was enforced by the government. But they let trucks and buses go 65. It was strange passing cars like crazy, in that big 'ol heavy truck, lol.
