Great picture. Medium duty riding along. Yeah, if I don't remember posting I guess others might not either. And who's going back through 97 pages/2,400+ posts to check on me? :lol: If I went back to page 1 and looked through all those pages in one sitting I know I wouldn't remember what day it is :lol:
I know I showed some pictures of these mobile amusement ride Chevys, that bring back childhood memories. But I didn't show them all |

One more. Anyone remember these? I think these are the first Chevy 6s that planted the seed in me. The sound and the smell are deeply imbedded in me for life

Re: GM Semis
I am trying to find pictures of a traveling tent revival that was headquartered in Hollister, Missouri in the early fifties.
All the trucks were GM and the trucks and trailers were turquois in color. It was quite a site to see when they were all together. |

Cabovers take a little getting used to. Like an old van. Little sheet metal and some glass to protect you.

Nice looking 9500. This would be a newer model, I would say about '76 or '77.

I can get close. That GMC in the background was a road tractor before we made a dump truck out of it.

Re: GM Semis
Bob,
There is an interesting debate out there on a 12V-71 in an MH 9500 Long Nose. Some say there were some made, others say there were never any made. What is your say on it? |
Re: GM Semis

As for a 12V-71 long conventional: I don't think any were 'officially' built by GMC. Such a truck would have been an MP 9500 ('P' denoted 12V-71 in an Astro 95/Titan 90). I know a few MH's were converted to 12V power and I wouldn't be surprised if GMC built a few prototypes, but I don't think GMC ever sold one, not even as an SEO. Incidentally all the Long Nose M series trucks got the raised cab in 1974. They also had the grille with 2 low mounted headlights. 1977 was the last year the Astro 95 and Titan 90 offered the 12V-71. The General and Bison never offered the 12V. The 8V-92's made the 12V-71's redundant in highway trucks. |

Attachment 2158912 Attachment 2158913 I know car haulers are different but we had a bunch of single headlight 9500s. The stinger trucks (5th wheel behind rear tires) mostly had 6V92 but the conventional trucks (5th wheel over the tires) were mostly 671s. I don't know why but most of them did not have the GMC script in the grill. They we not high cab models as every company looked to get as low as possible. |
Re: GM Semis
I believe some of those trucks did not have the "GMC" letters as some manufacturers did not want to have a different brand vehicle pulling their brand of cars.
Trying to fool the public, but we knew better, lol. Also, even though they may look low, the trucks above are still considered high cabs, having the larger radiators in them. |

That's what I was thinking. Was it's suspension lowered or was it castrated into a 1t with the hubs adapted to run big wheelz?

Re: GM Semis
Nice looking 7500. Wondering what it has for an engine.
