Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

I don't know exactly. That style ran all the way through 67-72 and beyond. Matter of fact,it actually started before the 10-30s changed in '67. Here's a '66 Chevy brochure:

Those trucks are the H (single rear axle) and J (tandem rear axle) series. They ran from '66 to '77, and starting in '78 they were redesigned and became the Brigadier (GMC) and Bruin (Chevy). The Bruin and all the other heavy duty Chevy trucks were discontinued in 1980. The Brigadier continued until '89. The '87-'89 Brigadiers have a 'WhiteGMC' badge on the hood.

Yes, but only in the large commercial trucks.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

Special-K, I see that you like GMC 9500's. I'm a 9500 fan myself. I used to drive one that had a rare set-up. It was a '71 9500 Tandem with a 20 Ft Flatbed Dump, 10-Speed Road Ranger Trans, but had a 637 V-8 Gas Engine. Till this day, I've never seen or even heard of a 637 along with a Road Ranger. Of course I had wished it had a 6-71 Detroit or even a 6V-53 Detroit, but it was still a good truck.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!

That does sound like an unusual combo for a gas job having an OTR trans. Those big cube motors went out when oil/gas started gettin' funny,I guess.

I never did check the mileage myself, but remember the mechanic telling me that it got about 5 to 7 MPG. Back then when I was driving it in '73 and '74 gas had just gone from about 35 cents to about 50 cents.

Believe it or not, 637's are still in use today. They are still in many Fire Trucks, usually in rural areas or small towns.

I hope you get it. I see what you see in that. What a special rig? It's got it all. I'm rooting for you. That way, if you get it I can have a chance at it if you decide to sell. I would just hitch hike on over to your place and drive it home .
A GMC light truck gets me more excited than a Chevy, but in bigger trucks, it's the opposite. Light trucks are the little play toys sold by GM's truck company. Medium-heavy duty Chevys are the big end of the same company that built the Corvair and Chevette. One thing I loved about GM was how diverse they were. Not quite so much any more. But, who cares about new stuff except to get you from point A to point B. At least that's my attitude on it

I talked to the owner today, if I can come up with his asking price it is mine, the tranny has been swapped for a Road ranger of some type and it comes with a spare truck ! so I will have ( fingers crossed) a PAIR of screaming Jimmy's to deal with shortly

Bradley, you posted some great pictures there. Quite a few I've never seen before and I've spent many a Saturday night searching for them.
