Re: GM Semis
I've only seen one Long Nose with a 6-71. It was a '68 (no Triple Horns) and the strange thing about it was it had a 5-Speed Trans and a 2-Speed Rear, which was another thing I've never seen before in a Long Nose. Was an Ex-Fire Truck.

Re: GM Semis
I always thought is was interesting that the crackerbox I was around in the 70's with 6-71 had no drive belts. Generator and p/s pump ran off rear gear train and the fan was direct on the crankshaft nose. It was a cold ride in the winter.

Re: GM Semis
TV70, 6V-53 Detroit. Made more noise than power. Sleeper cab Steel Tilts are rare.

Re: GM Semis
At first I thought the negative was reversed on the GMC Steel Tilt picture, but I see now that it's not! Australia? The Coast Grain unit was from Norwalk, CA., 6V-71 powered. It was featured in GMC Truck News when it was new.

Re: GM Semis
Bob,
Are those stacks factory on the Coast Grain truck? Nice 9500 by the way. But with those Directional Lights the way they have them, I can't tell if it's a '66-'67 or a '68-'69, lol. |
Re: GM Semis
I don't think those stacks are factory, I think the stock ones were attached to the cab along with horizontal mufflers. My guess on the 9500 is it's a '66-'67 with extra directional lights. I don't see side markers. It's a CI or CH 9500 with a tag axle.

Interesting pictures.
I'm sure glad they didn't choose the center picture style. |

Re: GM Semis
That was once someone's pride & joy. Great truck! How 'bout those Perlux hoops? Could be stirrups but I'm thinking light guards.

Re: GM Semis
Take a look at this General. I have seen a couple with this grille and the square headlights, and my theory is that this was supposed to be the 1988-89 General. It is not the SBFA General as these trucks only have a different grill and headlights. The rest of the hood appears to be the same as a regular 116" BBC General. I have seen pictures of a silver General show truck with this front end that I believe GMC was displaying at trucking trade shows in 1986-87.

Great era picture of a great truck.
I don't know if this has been shown, but I can't get enough of this truck. How about that for one of your toys? |
Re: GM Semis
Cool truck, would love to have it.
Most likely an 8V-71. |

Re: GM Semis
I'm jealous of you. Those are some neat trucks. I really like the little Crackerbox for some reason. I bet it will be really nice when it's finished.

Re: GM Semis
They should go ahead and paint that cab with all the detail put into the rest. Great stuff in Reno! I wish I could've gone. I am headed to Macungie for the ATCA national show on Thursday. Can't wait. Riding over in the '58 REO. We usually don't go till Friday, this will be much better.
