Re: GM Semis
Sheet Metal looks good on it.
Is the truck in Alaska? |
Re: GM Semis
Yeah the truck is here in town near my home in Alaska. Oddly placed Detroit diesel badges ... Lower Rear corner of the doors.....Makes me wonder if it is a " fuel pincher"

It didn't help GM having the 2-stroke Detroits outlawed. Figure GM was making money off of other brands using their engines as well as their trucks. Not so long ago they let Allison go, too. It's all about counting beans I guess. Basically GMC folded into White and White into Volvo and now it's Macks into Volvos. So far just engines, but who knows what's next? If anything, I'd rather see the Volvo name dropped and carry on as Macks...just because. It would somehow soften the fact that America is being eaten up by foreign money.
Haven't shown pictures in a long time because I lost track of what I showed, others showed, and this thread is so big I haven't had the time to look back. Repeat? I dunno...screw it! Cool picture |
Re: GM Semis
Love that photo! Wonder what the weight is on that log, is it a log?, Let's say unbuilt house.
I wish the Mack name would return to its own, I always say I'm gonna do the Mack factory tour when I go to Macungie, still haven't thought. |

Truck & trailer freightliner hay trucks where very common truck out west. The new emissions regs have killed a ton of them though. |

I'm curious about that, too
Has this one been shown? I have held off on saving pictures from this thread so as to not repeat any, but still could have been posted Attachment 1591550 I'll post another, just in case Attachment 1591551 |
Re: GM Semis
I believe they are new, but even if they ain't, it's good to see them again.
The bottom truck is an early model with that cool Triple Horn option they had back then. |

Yeah, looks to be a bells & whistles model. Probably a '66 or '67 you think?
I went and found some pictures a while back, ut never posted. Pretty sure all new ones, but now I can't tell. I just saved some last night and I added "ns" to the code to tell me "not shown". Here's another I thnk I saved back a while: |
Re: GM Semis
Right, the blue one is either a '66 or '67.
The red truck is sure another fine example of a nice Long Nose. |

Good old California. But, what happens there is generally the writing on the wall for the rest of us. Around here, first we saw cabovers disappear once the length laws were lifted...and 53' trailers came about...and then a bunch of broken up curbs and ruts beyond them. Now we are seeing old cabovers run by guys who don't want to deal with the computruck/particulate filter thing.

Old trucks are illegal to run, to much pollution or some such non sense. Have to be retro fitted with DPF Filters or replaced by new trucks which are not cabovers. |
Re: GM Semis
I never knew that, I figured you could run an old truck as long as you wanted to. I guess the rules must be different for commercial trucks.

Yes, but I understand other states are considering following Ca. There is Ag and low mileage exemptions. Bunch of horse dookey, but I'm just a dumb trucker |
Re: GM Semis
If I were running local short haul, I'd probably still have a 9500 with a 6-71, lol.
