Re: GM Semis
 

SO, does anyone have a picture under the hood of a 9500 with a 8v-71 ? I would like to see one. Thinking about bidding on one up my way and am curios what it is supposed to look like.

Re: GM Semis
 

This is a picture I have not seen here, it is from a flickr account, that came up on a google search. no copy right issues intended. Caption says it was taken at a Dealership in 1974,

Great pictures! As much as I love a dolled-up privateer rig, I also love seeing the fleet trucks just as they were...get the job done and show the company's colors. Most trucks you see restored, even those, guys can't resist geegaws & doodads. That 66 line-up if a slice of heaven. That last 95500...wow! Look at all the new stuff. and I wonder what truck that is with the Alcoa on the rear.

Here's a picture that moves if you click it

greywuuf, Fine example of a new MH.

Tim, The Detroit sounds good.

Re: GM Semis
 

RIP Mr. Bill you had some great pics.

Re: GM Semis
 

Look closely at this MH9500. Starting around 1974, GMC raised the cab to accommodate a larger radiator, this is one of those later MH's. Notice the tops of the fenders are thicker and their are 2 headlights instead of 4 at the bottom edge of the grille. That style of grill was introduced in 1971 on the short nose H/J 9500's when GMC raised the cab on those models to accommodate the 8V-71 and NTC Cummins.

Really neat truck!

Re: GM Semis
 

this truck from post #452 appears to be the chevy version of this same raised cab.

Re: GM Semis
 

if you look ar just the front it could well be a rv , the design might actually work even today if they add some side skirts and supersingles

Re: GM Semis
 

Aero Astro prototype?

Maybe one of these...

Re: GM Semis
 

Heck yeah. My kind of RV

Re: GM Semis
 

The more I look at this thing the more I think some dude built it, not GMC. Look close, the grilles are stacked late 70's Sierra pickup grilles. 8 headlights?

Re: GM Semis
 

Maybe a repost but.

Re: GM Semis
 

I have seen this truck in person, and it is nice. It originally had the Twin-Hydramatic in it.

Re: GM Semis
 

Some time ago I had the pleasure of driving his 2axle Pete around the Antique ag show in tulare

Big Cam with a Holset turbo made some beautiful music

Re: GM Semis
 

I believe I have seen that truck too. Very nice, I love the old Pete's with the small cab. For just a few years there Peterbilt offered the wide hood with the small cab, to me that's one of the all time classics.

Re: GM Semis
 

Like 69-72 usually big power spec.

Nice looking truck.

Pretty good front-end height for a low hood.

Re: GM Semis
 

Wow that's nice, is picture recent?

Re: GM Semis
 

No idea.

Re: GM Semis
 

If this was a 80 series, I would be interested. Looks very clean http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/5034902451.html

Re: GM Semis
 

Other than being from Watsonville, It could be rusty

Re: GM Semis
 

Interesting truck.

I can never remember a Road Tractor of that era, with that low of a GVW.

Yet it has 10-Lug Front Wheels.

Re: GM Semis
 

Oh that's nice, betcha there's a 671 Detroit in ol' boy

Re: GM Semis
 

Many of those did, but if you blow that picture up there is a 'Turbocharged' emblem on the hood. That truck had a 4-71T in it. Rare combination.

Re: GM Semis
 

Nice!

I really wish DCP or First Gear would make a die-cast replica of one of those. Instead of yet another customized long-nose Pete..........

Re: GM Semis
 

I agree. I'd probably buy one myself.

(and it would be my first one, lol)
