Has the GMC got a sleeper?

I had a 3444 TLB. Great little machine.

I don't know on the dump truck, but isn't that a Corvair truck next to it?

The headlight is similar to a Corvair style but I see a flat hood profile in front of the windshield. I am guessing maybe a Rambler station wagon or car, or did any Jeep’s have dual headlights like the wagoner line? Early 60s Ford maybe?

I see a corvair pickup, possibly a van.
Next to oshkosh dump?
Also see a M37 dodge next to the tractor.

I see what you mean, so I did a little searching. I think that is an optical illusion, and that is the short hood section of the Corvair truck/van. Grille piece is Corvair style.

The truck is a 1930s "Hug"
They were built by CJ Hug of Highland IL. from 1922 to 1940
Hug was a carpenter/contractor, and business man who when awarded a road paving contract from the state of IL (IDOT) in 1921 Realized that the dump trucks of the day were to small and to light,and prone to breakage.
He started with a 4" steel I beam frame and huge spring packs.
They were powered by Buda Gas engines, or CAT 4cyl. Diesels.
1 1/2 Cu. Yd. dump hand built dump body with Anthony Hoist.

I have two of these.

The man has spoken, I concur. Wonder if that was a storage area up there? If so could not have been very big your knees and legs had to go somewhere.
