Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Correct model should be JV7500 with 6V53, but that hood with the deep side skirts on the fenders is from a JH 9500 with the laid over 8V71.
Reference the dump truck pictured in post 427. Last edited by junkmandan3; 01-07-2014 at 11:04 PM. Reason: to refer to the picture |

I noticed that too about the deep side skirts, but figured may be they just came that way on some '73 or newer Chevy C-70 or a GMC 7500 trucks. I kind of thought of you when I first saw it, lol. Is that a non original set up for sure? I have to say that it is the first time I ever noticed one on one. Welcome to this site, by the way. We could use your expertise over here!! Bill

Re: Trucks Are Beautiful
Bill------I think the MHs got the deep side skirts in 74 when GMC raised the cab 4" to accomodate a deeper radiator for higher HP engines. But I've never seen that hood on a 7500 model. The cab has the correct dog house for 6V53 with rear flange mount compressor . I'm guessing the hood was changed.
I can use a short hood like that for my 6-71 powered JI 9500. |
