Re: GM Semis
The real oddball would have been the ME-9500. Long conventional with the 637 gas V-8 in it. Brochures show that model available in '66-'67, wonder how many they built. I have seen JE-9500 short noses with the 637.

The '71 9500 I used to drive had a 637 in it. It also had a 10-Speed Road Ranger in it. To this day, since we got the truck in the spring of '72, I have never seen, or even heard of another, with a Road Ranger trans. Just about all the 637's in J or H 9500's I have seen (online only) through the recent years were in Fire Trucks, but every one was a 5-Speed, 2-Speed Rear. Glad to learn something new. I never knew my old truck was a "JE". Also never knew they made an "ME". My "JE" had 12 Fronts and 34 Rears (20 Ft Flatbed Dump). I'm going to say that the RR was a 610. The 637 didn't have much Torque and you had to do a lot of Shifting, which I didn't mind, lol, but was a real good all around truck that hauled some interesting loads.

Re: GM Semis
It is strange as we also had a 478 V-6 in a '62 6500. The 478 had a ton of Torque, and they both looked alike. The 637 looked just like a 478 with 2 extra cylinders "welded" on.
That always puzzled me until one day someone explained that even though they looked the same, they were very different inside.

Re: GM Semis
Pretty much like a Detroit. You had to Shift it like a Detroit as well, lol.

Re: GM Semis
Bob,
We may have asked you this already, but do you remember any 12V-71's in an MH-9500 Long Nose? Some say they were available and some say they weren't, but it seems that somehow, some were out there. Bill

Another GMC 'unicorn' is the tandem axle Steel Tilt 9500 with an 8V-71 in it. Both the 6V-53 and 6V-71 were used offered in Steel Tilts as regular options, but I have been told there were some built with 8V-71's for auto haulers, notably Pacific Motor Transport on the west coast.

Re: GM Semis
Very interesting. Looks like that thing was one heck of a wrecker in it's day. It's day could come again!

Re: GM Semis
They are both very restorable.
The Long Nose has the indications of a '66 or '67 though. Are you going to buy them Tim?

Re: GM Semis
I don't know why they couldn't put a price in the listing. I hate calling just to find out if I even want to consider buying something or not. Fact is, if they were $1,000 I couldn't do it anyway.
I was thinking the same thing on the long nose being 66 or 67, then I saw them claim it's a '69 and started doubting what I thought I knew. I see the emblems and turn signals not on the front indication early model

Re: GM Semis
The triple Grovers were a regular option, but it appears they were on many of the special 9501 'Western' versions.

Re: GM Semis
I'm not good at the older years, but I'm going to say some where around 1935.
Interesting picture.

Re: GM Semis
just noticed the no air horn truck in post #171...... are those millitary NDT tires on the rear ? what a gawd awful beast that must have been on the road, wonder if it was a special order mining or construction truck or something?

Re: GM Semis
No. They're not NDT's. Close. NDT's at least of that era have a wider tread separation. Had a truckload of them at one time.

Re: GM Semis
Seen several references to "steel tilt" hoods. Can someone explain what that is?
