these have probably been posted before but I wanted to share them

 ;D Found on the internet and i still think they are sweet. Especially how the Chevies are loaded on to a Chevy carrier and the GMCs are on a GMC carrier.

(well, except the second pic, those appear to be on a Freightliner carrier.)

Awesome, love them. Thanks for sharing!
Which tires? The ones on the pusher axle of the tractor?

stock tires on our year trucks, non 4x4, always looked small to me.  I have 235 75 15 on my 79 rear wheel drive fleetside, and the wheel wells always looked big to me, making the tires look small.  but, i am used to it and don't care.  When i put all terrains on all corners, makes it look better, but i have goodyear wranglers on it and they look smaller.  just my opinion i guess.

Are you talking about the semi?  Cause that's probably a tag axle or something.

Its a pusher axle. A tag is behind the drive axle. If thats what you are talking about. They do that so the tires don't scrub on humps, or high spots when up.

Cool pics. Must have been taken in late '72 when the brand-new for 1973's were rolling out to dealer lots?
