67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's! - Page 24 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Good looking Long Nose 9500 above, but there are a few things interesting there. It looks like a High Hood with the correct Front Grille and Headlight positions, but it has Low Hood Fenders. I believe the fiberglass Tilt Nose has been changed. Also looks like a 1-Piece Windshield which probably means a 7500 Cab. Along with a newer style Front Bumper.

Impressive results though.

This is one that has the V-12 conversion.................And it ain't factory, but it fits . Didn't see quite enough detail when it was posted on ATHS forum several years ago .

**special-K** · 05-22-2018, 07:54 AM

I do remember this truck has a V12. I should have pointed that out. Makes it more interesting, right? She's a beast.

**special-K** · 06-06-2018, 06:16 AM

It would be nice if that was a utility body

**special-K** · 06-23-2018, 07:42 AM

A little early for harvest, but...

**special-K** · 08-09-2018, 07:51 AM

Might have already shown this a long time ago. But I like it!

**special-K** · 08-20-2018, 07:06 AM

Shameless

C10 - C90 Bill · 08-20-2018, 09:18 AM

Cool interior shot and ride-along.

Wonder what that Lever is for on the right side of the column. It does seem to be some kind of throttle.

**special-K** · 08-21-2018, 09:07 AM

I wondered that, too. Possibly manual injection of a booster like alcohol, water, or ???

sweetk30 · 08-22-2018, 04:59 PM

hand throttle like a farm tractor . . . . that kind of ride try holding your foot on the floor pedal and drive it .

**special-K** · 08-23-2018, 08:30 AM

I thought that at first, but around 1:37 when he is about to launch the revs go up without moving the lever. But I'm sure you're right. Just like a tractor it still has a foot pedal. Looks like he uses lever to set idle up just part way during staging, then the pedal off the line, once he mashes it the lever comes down to wide open and that's the control for the rest of the pull. Just uses pedal for control at launch... and transporting around.

**special-K** · 09-16-2018, 07:39 AM

Here's one I had marked "ns" (not shown)

C10 - C90 Bill · 09-16-2018, 12:18 PM

Nice Heavy Medium.

Adoboloco · 09-30-2018, 05:19 PM

Recently started on this one: 69’ GMC 6500 Trying to find parts is proving to be a challenge.

C10 - C90 Bill · 09-30-2018, 08:58 PM

Looks good.

Like the full 10 Lug Fronts.

Must have a nice GVW.

Adoboloco · 10-01-2018, 12:08 AM

Thanks... 24,000 GVW

Mostly working on electrical right now

Chevy C/60 Tow Truck at work with it's IH Brethren

Adoboloco · 10-24-2018, 06:22 PM

Nice One! Love it as tow truck.

I always think those are a waste of a good heavy medium truck that was probably in nice shape. You want to chop, hot rod and modify? Do it to something you can't resurrect. Seen far too many of these big trucks get the cab removal treatment...

**special-K** · 10-29-2018, 08:45 AM

The argument comes down to live and let live. It's cool to see someone carry out a vision and have it turn out nicely, no matter what it is. The problem I have is with the flood of followers riding the wake of the truly creative with all their monkey see monkey do. And if these trucks were no good for anything else it would be different. These trucks are still great at what they do or not far from it. One that needs a whole heap of work would be a true challenge on parts alone. All I can say is there's nothing like a labor of love stock restoration that looks like it's straight out of a brochure. That is a bigger challenge that fabbing a hot rod.

C10 - C90 Bill · 10-29-2018, 08:50 AM

Fine examples of some nice originals.

**special-K** · 12-24-2018, 09:52 AM

Wow! That's a heavy little toter! That second one is a dream truck for me. Just too cool

**Bob B.** · 01-13-2019, 12:46 AM

Well, that explains those trucks. Unusual, because GMC was generally not known for building small numbers of 'special' trucks (International and Dodge were). I believe Inland Steel was a supplier to GM back in those days, perhaps that had something to do with those trucks being built.

Thanks very much for posting.

**special-K** · 01-17-2019, 10:02 AM
