Re: GM Semis
Love that truck. That paint is the reverse of the classic green with black
That's a handsome big Chevy

Re: GM Semis
Went back and looked closely at this truck. I think it might be an MH-9501, not the standard 9500. The 9501 was a special lightweight 'western' style long conventional (think Peterbilt 359). The 9501's usually came with Alcoa wheels, lot of other aluminum parts like fuel tanks, ect., and a 318 horse 8V-71/Roadranger. One other feature the 9501's often had was a 3 trumpet Grover air horn. Take a close look at the horn on this one.

Re: GM Semis
Yeah, those Triple Factory Horns are pretty interesting. My Twin Standards are pretty loud, I can just imagine what they sound like. I also see it has the heavy style Cab Lights as well. Cool to have the usual 8V-71. Was the Road Ranger a 13 Speed?

Re: GM Semis
Yes, I think they had 13's. In some of the ad copy, GMC referred to the MH 9501's as the 'Magnificent Hauler'.

Re: GM Semis
Alright, so I know it's all the way back on the first page, but this thing is gorgeous.
What's something like this worth?

Re: GM Semis
Truck looks real nice.
Is that the project that has the 13-Speed Road Ranger in it?

Re: GM Semis
The cannonball owned by Mr. Wells in pic # 807 originally had a Twin Hydramatic transmission . 7 speeds with a healthy overdrive . It was sold around Denver about 20 years ago, driven to Ontario, Canada. Some time later the fluid coupling[as it didn't have a torque converter] had a problem . It got to Port Clinton, Ohio to a car transmission repair shop, found some fins off the fluid coupling and no parts available . We hauled it to Twinsburg, Oh and proceeded to convert it to a 13 speed. Whoever was the advisor on the transmission selection, should have spec'd a double overdrive because it would only run 53 MPH . Canadian owner got disgusted and sold it to an acquaintance in Avon, OH , who resold it to Mr. Wells .

Re: GM Semis
I never knew they made an Auto Trans in a truck that old. Funny to think that I could have been cussing them back then, lol. My company mechanic would mention Autos to me back in the '70's and I thought that was early !!

Re: GM Semis
i did had some posters in my room when i was about 12 or so from allison automatics for big rigs so 70's is pretty close to wat that mecanic was mentioning
then again : ![]() allways wondered if it was possible to connect one automatic transmission behind another , did some benchracing about it and figured the biggest problem after the space under the car would be building up oilpressure in the second trans main reason i thught about it at the time was because the 4 speed automatics coulnt take the amount of horsepower i was figuring on (cheaply) was thinking on two powerglides in series or a th400 with a full manual powerglide behind that kindah like a gearvendor setup

Re: GM Semis
I'm not sure the load is low enough (or the stacks high enough).
Going down the road with a flaming load of hay would be quite a sight. Greg.

Re: GM Semis
was thinking the same thing . looks like they stacked the front row higher to deflect the soot from the top of the rest of the haybales

Re: GM Semis
trucks like that usually only see action during a sertan time of year (like during harvest) and then only drive locally
there fine for that , wouldnt ant to drive them long distance nowadays as my back would be crying and my kidneys and ears bleeding after the first 3 hours or so
