TONKA TRUCK! Big Rig Pickup! This custom 1978 GMC 9500 Brigadier complete with screaming Detroit 6V53 and 10 speed Road Ranger can tow the goods or look cool at the Car Shows! Set up for a pickup bed camper and with both pintle and ball couplers and trailer brake controller she can tow as well. The short tilt hood, day cab and 8’ dually bed make this rig shorter than a crewcab, just a little higher and wider! Spring packs have been substantially reduced (4f/5r) for lowering and improved ride quality. With only 160k miles on the clock the 6V53 pulls hard to a screaming 3,000 rpm and the 10 speed floats easily thru the gears: 2,000 rpm at 60 mph.. 2700 rpm at 80 mph. The bronze metallic paint, polished Alcoas and chrome make the truck a standout at any show. The interior has full bound carpets, aluminum diamond plate accents and comfy Bostrom Viking air ride seating. No ac but it does have dual venting wing windows and a manually opening front cowl scoop! All guages work properly as well as the full array of warning lights. Unfortunately my SO has a debilitating neurological disease that is preventing her from reliving our days as team drivers on an OTR Flatbed. I will trade for something ‘non-frightening’ for the lady. I will also consider delivery for cost (one last adventure).
