Which reminds me of the '68 Long Nose I saw a few years back. It had a 6-71 instead of an 8V-71 but to my surprise, it had a 5 and 2 (2-Speed Rear). I had never seen one in a Long Nose before but sure enough, it was a former Firetruck. |

Another beauty from Pacarhauler! Looks like a 62 Biscayne behind the cab.

Re: GM Semis
Starting for the ‘60 model year, GM did the 4x4 in house on the 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks.
Prior to ‘60 it was a NAPCO conversion. It was also a NAPCO conversion on the 1 ton and heavier trucks from ‘60 until??? GMs first in house 1 ton 4x4 was 1977. |

Re: GM Semis
Starting in ‘57, you could get a truck new from the dealership with the NAPCO conversion. (It didn’t leave the factory as a 4x4).

Re: GM Semis
I sure like those lo-pro tankers. That Cannonball needs a chop top and lowered on airbags :lol:.
I bet it was warranty costs that halted the turbos. I just looked at a YouTube video that was a '62 Olds ad for the new Jetfire. That car was a leap forward. They didn't talk about the rear transaxle/independent suspension. It was all about that 215 aluminum V8 with turbocharger that put out 1hp per cubic inch. They put three years into development. but one thing different was they had a fluid you added under the hood, which I imagine either helped cool or lubricate, or both. And I bet buyers didn't keep up on that. We didn't see turbos used for a long time after those. |

Put a bunch of miles on this 1981 C70 back in the day. 8.2 Detroit turbo and a 5 speed Allison automatic. Not exactly a powerhouse, lol. Doesn't look this nice anymore, unfortunately. Trying to decide what to do with it.

Here’s two I got a few years ago. A 1965 gmc 5000 (not sure) with a toro flo diesel and a 1964 gmc b7000 twin stick winch truck. Both have been in the family for a long time.
|
Re: GM Semis
The '65 is most likely a 5000. They didn't put a Toro-Flow in a 6500.
Cool trucks. What does the 7000 have for an Engine? |
Re: GM Semis
Is that straight pipes on the Toroflow? What does that sound like?
And welcome to the board! You have a couple cool GMCs |
Re: GM Semis
The 7000 has a Detroit 6-71 and the toro flo is not straight piped.
|
Re: GM Semis
My cousin was dragging the 7000 around and it accidentally pull started and hit the loader, it sheared a piece right off the pipe bumper and wrecked the passenger side fender and hood.

Wow, he got pretty lucky. I will post a video of the toro flo next time I get it going.

Re: GM Semis
I wondered if that's what it had. I don't think I'd want to show off a Toroflo by running straight pipes.
These stories of self-starting diesels are interesting. |
Re: GM Semis
That’s what this one has, the horizontal mufflers in the frame.
|
Re: GM Semis
I would love to hear one with Straight Pipes, lol.
Speaking of loud, my 478 had what I believe were factory type straight thru's. Duals, of course. One day the pipe broke open before one of the mufflers. I can just imagine it with straights, lol. |

I'd like to hear it, but wouldn't want to be running it that way very long
I'd like to see a picture of that Toroflow emblem up close. That's a rare item right there Has this one been shown yet? |
Re: GM Semis
That truck sure is a beauty. A '64 and if it has a 409, it would be a C-80.
Here are some pictures of Emblems from Jolly's site, including the Toro Flow: http://6066gmcguy.com/emblem.html My '67 7500 with the 6V-53 still had the Toro Flow Emblems on the butterfly hood. It was what it once had before it got converted. |

Great looking '64 tractor, thanks for sharing special-K. IMO, these Chevies look best when they are correctly painted, especially the front end, as this one is. Hard to say if it's an 80 or a 60H model, these trucks require close photos of the emblems to tell. The Toro Flo is quite an engine, GM attempt to get a diesel to the medium duty market without a premium price tag.
