Re: GM Semis
Beautiful example of a nice Extended Hood 9500.
Note the optional Cab Lights and there's that cool factory Triple Horn again. Almost a guarantee it's an 8V-71 with those Dual Stacks like it has. Another one that would look real nice in my driveway, lol. Bill

Re: GM Semis
It's the very short wheelbase that really throws me off. And what's with the disc like thing right behind the cab too?

Re: GM Semis
was looking at that too , cant realy tell if its an tank or a air/mud deflector plate
the wheelbase isnt that short european single rearaxle tractors have about the same length then again most european countries limit the total length of trucks and trailer(s) to 18 meters (about 60Ft) ![]()

Re: GM Semis
I understand the short wheelbase, what I should have said is how it doesn't jive with the cab configuration / rear tin work on cab.

Re: GM Semis
That round metal case looks like it could be a spare tire carrier . Pretty odd shaped compartment .
The previous pic of the semi from Kentucky was about a 52-53 model 350 or 400 . |

Re: GM Semis
Where is that Mercury bunk on the Crackerbox from the Overdrive MAG ? Looks like a standard GMC sleeper cab to me. BUT the JI in the next post, sure looks like a Mercury bunk .

Re: GM Semis
Dan,
If you are referring to post #970, it may be an MH ?? Looks like another early Model too, '66 or '67. Bill

Re: GM Semis
Wow, the L.A. Factory Branch. Some memories there. Way back they were located on Washington Bl. near down town. Company my dad worked for bought trucks there. Sometime in the late 60's they moved to Alameda Street. I used to go there in the 80's, taking trucks there for warranty work. That building is still standing, it's a shop for L.A. Unified School District. Still has a Detroit Diesel sign on it. Around 1990 the Factory Branch moved again to Santa Fe Springs. They never became a White/GMC dealer, just sold light and medium duty there until they closed. Heard GMC closed all the factory stores at the time. It's a Navistar dealer now.

Re: GM Semis
I wondered the same thing about the Crackerbox, isn't it an integrated body from factory? how does Mercury play in? I am sittin' here questioning someone who knows trucks more than me. got my ears on lookin' to learn, that's all. Thanks for that picture and the beautiful MH (?) in 970!...and for making this thread what it is.
