Re: GM Semis
Y'all keep producing pictures of some trucks that I have never seen before. Tim, that red "Peterson's" Long Nose 9500 sure is nice.

Re: GM Semis
For those who maybe didn't notice, Fred Craig's '63 "Series B" Yellow GMC has a 702 V-12
Gas Engine in it. Bill |
Re: GM Semis
Hopefully I'll have some more soon.
Planning on several shows this year. MATs in Louisville. And AThS in Yakima and a local antique show. Glad you guys liked them. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: GM Semis
I want to point out a pretty rare part on Peterson's Red GMC 9500, which is the Running Board. Most 9500's have Side Saddle Tanks instead. This is the first Long Nose 9500 that I can ever remember that has a Running Board. Notice the Length of it.

Re: GM Semis
This is one of the few machines that my father had when he first started farming. It was originally a shorter wheelbase with a 5th wheel and was used in northern Manitoba. When he started farming in this area, this was considered a large truck to haul grain with. And now, it doesn't even go out of the yard.
I believe it is a 1969 and it still runs with a 6-71 Detroit that had been rebuilt twice. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ps8f8a41e1.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ps7dcad9cd.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ps44d88fc3.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ps0421a720.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...ps83318188.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...psa26fec8b.jpg |
Re: GM Semis
By the Directional Lights, it is a '66 or a '67. The Emblem on the side of the hood also tells us it is an earlier model. Looks like it has a 5 X 4 Trans. These were real impressive trucks when they first were introduced in the mid '60's, as well as they still are today.

Also, it's a 4+4 transmission and the secondary has a little different shift pattern than your average 4 speed transmission. 3rd and 4th gears are swapped around in comparison to where they would be on say an SM465 or NV4500. |

Although rare, it could also be a '65. I'm not sure how many they made, but I have never seen one that I know of or even seen one for sale. But I have found some literature and early factory photos that were labeled as '65. Bill |

Re: GM Semis
Some great looking trucks showing some nice history. Too bad there aren't many of these on the road any longer. Just to see some in a show once in a while would be fun.

Re: GM Semis
That CrackerBox is sure pulling one heck of a trailer. Eight Axels!!
I would hate to go through a Toll Booth that charges Per Axel (11 Total). Bill |

Yeah,I think it's silly when states require such things. It's just a tandem tractor and it's not like more weight is on the trailer than any other tandem. Thing is,the roads seem to wear just the same in multiple axle states as ones w/o such requirements. They did some BS here in MD where all the dump trucks went to triples or add a tag or haul less. Nothing changed except the cost to truckers.
Not a semi,but looky here. Dual steer axles and single rear: |

Re: GM Semis
