Look at the old cracker box in the background.

It looks like in the pic where they are lifting the van that they poured concrete pads and put the B on heavy jack stands.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I like to go by CA (Cab to Axel). My best guess, by a little rough measuring, would be 204 Inches. That would be from the Back of the Cab to the exact Center of the Tandems.
I agree that it was most likely special built. About the only bed I can imagine on there would be an extra long Ladder Truck (Fire Truck). Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
That 6500 is either a '64 or '65 and unless they improved the Steering on them from the '62 6500 I used to drive, that truck would be hard to take a corner with. Those trucks had a couple of weaknesses and one of them was that they wouldn't turn. Even with my 16 Ft Flatbed, with about a 126 CA, you had to really plan your turns.
One day back at the yard, I parked the truck with the wheels turned fully to the right and got out just to see what it looked like. It looked like it was only about halfway turned compared to the average truck out there. I then fully understood the challanges I was having with it. Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Nice to see a great 'ol truck still working. If there was a brand new one parked next to that GMC, you can guess which one I'd be jumping in.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Me too. This area was once a nice little no light country town in farm land. Now it's busy street and an upscale suburb. But,there's still some good farming going on. It was refreshing for me to see this big grain truck in the midst of all that

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Some nice trucks there. That Black Tandem Dump is about the nicest one I've ever seen of it's type. I'd call that a Super Heavy Medium.

Although this video is not a Chevrolet 40 to 60 series truck, the engine powering this 1971 GMC TDH-3301 transit bus is the same Toro-Flow DH478 diesel V-6 as used in those trucks. Due to the poor nature of the beast, these were usually replaced by other engines, including the Detroit Diesel 6V53. This leads me to ask: does anyone here have any pictures of any 1967-72 CG/MG50s or CG/MG60s with the DH478 engine? ~Ben |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
the Chevy 90 LongNose 8v-71 tandem I posted a while back, sold Sunday... I was out "camping" with the family..... I checked the auction results today when I got home....
$100 was the sale price. I feel certain it is destined for selling off for its weight in scrap ![]() |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
I'm going to guess that's a '68. Just a guess for the heck of it.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
It's actually a Short Hood. Also if it is a 9500, someone changed out the Windshield and sawed out the Center Bar. If the Directional Lights are original, the truck is a 1970 or newer. Does look like an early one though !!

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Actually, I knew it was a short hood (butterfly) and smaller than the 9500. I thought the square turn lights were later , but the clearance lights still say not real late to me.
Just one I drove by the other day.... |

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
Actually, if you check the upper edge of the windshield, and roof line you can see it has been crunched....hard to say how these old trucks may have been scabbed together
