Re: GM Semis
I always known them to have 6V-53's for Diesels.
Is the 6V-71 correct? |

I love these old trucks.

Re: GM Semis
It would be interesting to hear a 6-71 in a Tilt.
Were they available with a Road Ranger Trans as well? |

Re: GM Semis
Westcoaster kind of referred to any long-nose conventional back the 50's and 60's. That International 'Westcoaster' was also referred to as an Emeryville, because International had a truck factory there for many years. And that's where IH built a lot of trucks for the western U.S..

Yeah, I always knew the International as the Westcoaster as well. Those were not sold back east. I always considered the long frame tractors to be west coast tractors or just western. I don't go far enough back to know those IHs as Emeryvilles. The ones I know of as commonly called Emoryvilles were the later/next style body, both conventionals and COEs*. No matter, I'd say it all works and I knew what trucks everyone was talking about. And since trucks were built at Emoryville over many years and many models, they are all Emoryvilles and the style/length of truck seen on the west coast and not the east (till length laws changed) can certainly be identified as a westcoaster.
*I went to find pictures of what I know as Emoryvilles and was shown all COEs, while I have always known the conventionals to also (mostly) be called that Attachment 2132133 Attachment 2132132 Hey, I thought this was a GM semi thread :lol: Attachment 2132136 Just a neat picture |
Re: GM Semis
Mack had a plant in Hayward CA. as well, and like International built special 'Western' models. GMC did offer a special 'west coast' long conventional in the 50's. I believe it was part of the 960 series, powered by a 6-71T and had aluminum hood and fenders with other light weight components like Alcoa 5 hole wheels. Naturally it was built in Pontiac, but light and medium duty GMC's were built in Fremont for many years. In 1966 GMC introduced the MH9501, a special long nosed light weight conventional for the western states.

Attachment 2136842 Only back east we'd call it a west coast truck and the IH is the one called a Westcoaster. We use west coast truck to identify any truck with the distinct differences found on trucks from the west coast region. It could also be a short little single rear tractor set up to haul doubles or a truck/trailer combo, which we didn't have back east. Still don't do the truck/trailers here |

And there it is. That's a hell of a 930 with the 6-71 and 4x4 shifting.

That's a fantastic ad. My favorite GMC, too.
We had out local ATHS show yesterday. It's held at the John Deere dealer along with Central Maryland Tractor Club's show and pull. The dealership has always had this T-series Chevy hauler (427). It was cool to see they still have it and rolled it out Attachment 2139735 Attachment 2139736 Thought I'd share this, too |
Re: GM Semis
Looks like it was a great show. It would have suited me just fine as besides the trucks, I'm also a John Deere fan. Any 435's there with the 2-53 Detroit?
