I don’t think McLean ever had 5000 trucks in there whole fleet in the 1950s. Let alone 5000 cannonball Jimmy’s. I don’t know where you are getting your reports but there way off. Like I said earlier Riss was the only trucking company to order the most Cannonballs at that time. GMC did not make the Cannonballs just for McLean the built that truck to keep up with Length and bridge laws at the time. If you need more proof I will be glad to post more
