Re: GM Semis
Look closely at this MH9500. Starting around 1974, GMC raised the cab to accommodate a larger radiator, this is one of those later MH's. Notice the tops of the fenders are thicker and their are 2 headlights instead of 4 at the bottom edge of the grille. That style of grill was introduced in 1971 on the short nose H/J 9500's when GMC raised the cab on those models to accommodate the 8V-71 and NTC Cummins.
Really neat truck!

Re: GM Semis
if you look ar just the front it could well be a rv , the design might actually work even today if they add some side skirts and supersingles

Re: GM Semis
The more I look at this thing the more I think some dude built it, not GMC. Look close, the grilles are stacked late 70's Sierra pickup grilles. 8 headlights?

Re: GM Semis
I have seen this truck in person, and it is nice. It originally had the Twin-Hydramatic in it.

Re: GM Semis
I believe I have seen that truck too. Very nice, I love the old Pete's with the small cab. For just a few years there Peterbilt offered the wide hood with the small cab, to me that's one of the all time classics.

Re: GM Semis
Nice looking truck.
Pretty good front-end height for a low hood.

Re: GM Semis
Many of those did, but if you blow that picture up there is a 'Turbocharged' emblem on the hood. That truck had a 4-71T in it. Rare combination.
