Chev / GMC Tilt Cab

Never as popular as Ford's C-series tilt cab, its main competitor, Chev/GMC's L series steel tilt cab managed to stay in production from 1960 to 1981 (some sources say ca. 1984)
Most of my photos of this type are fire apparatus, so here's a sampling............

GMC? Chev? Thibault aeriel in its second incarnation as a bucket truck, seen on the Quebec City waterfront (taken in 2007) Note the cab is set higher, and there are fender extensions to accommodate a larger engine.
