1960 Harley-Davidson of Macon Delivery Truck
Hey guys, Barry suggested that I start a thread for my truck project. I hope I am doing this right, and at the right place. If someone sees that I am screwing up. please let me know.
This truck is a 1960 GMC 1002 Wideside,1/2 ton pickup truck. Purchased new in 1959 by my friend, Mr. Grover Sasaman. He bought it for a delivery truck for his new business, Harley Davidson Sales of Macon Georgia. I have video of him and his son Greg getting on a DC-3 to fly to Pontiac, Michigan to get the truck. He drove straight to Milwaukee Wisconson, picked up a couple of crated bikes and drove south. He told me there was a foot of snow in the bed.
Mr. Grover loves the sound of a Harley-Davidson. In the late 1960's ,he swapped a 396 Chevy and auto trans, into the truck. It does sound like a Harley. I wish I could find a good 305 V-6 to put back in, one day. The auto tranny would have to remain.
I hope you enjoy looking at my ole truck. And feel free to offer insights, ideas, even criticisms if you have them. It all helps further the craft. Thanks, Greg Mead
