Re: GM Semis
Thanks. That must have been a fresh load. No Detroit smoke on the hay.

Re: GM Semis
When I was a kid there was truck like this down the road. It was all chromed out and had a flatbed with a rack over the cab. The guy hauled cedar post north and hay on the return. I never saw it dirty.
He was my hero.

Re: GM Semis
That is probably my favorite GMC. Especially a truck & trailer hay hauler

Truck & trailer freightliner hay trucks where very common truck out west. The new emissions regs have killed a ton of them though.

Re: GM Semis
How is that? New emission regs for old trucks?

Re: GM Semis
I'm curious about that, too
Has this one been shown? I have held off on saving pictures from this thread so as to not repeat any, but still could have been posted I'll post another, just in case

Re: GM Semis
I believe they are new, but even if they ain't, it's good to see them again.
The bottom truck is an early model with that cool Triple Horn option they had back then.

Re: GM Semis
Yeah, looks to be a bells & whistles model. Probably a '66 or '67 you think?
I went and found some pictures a while back, ut never posted. Pretty sure all new ones, but now I can't tell. I just saved some last night and I added "ns" to the code to tell me "not shown". Here's another I thnk I saved back a while:

Re: GM Semis
Right, the blue one is either a '66 or '67.
The red truck is sure another fine example of a nice Long Nose.

Re: GM Semis
Don't ask! California required even older diesels be retrofitted diesel particulate filters, and even then eventually older trucks will need to be repowered with modern diesels. The state was giving tax incentives to fleets for new equipment, so what that means is a lot of older trucks are being retired. Since Freightliner doesn't make cabovers anymore (actually they do make glider kits, so you can build one yourself) most of those hay haulers replaced them. Good news is you can get exemptions from all this jazz for historical trucks.

Re: GM Semis
Good old California. But, what happens there is generally the writing on the wall for the rest of us. Around here, first we saw cabovers disappear once the length laws were lifted...and 53' trailers came about...and then a bunch of broken up curbs and ruts beyond them. Now we are seeing old cabovers run by guys who don't want to deal with the computruck/particulate filter thing.

Re: GM Semis
Old trucks are illegal to run, to much pollution or some such non sense. Have to be retro fitted with DPF Filters or replaced by new trucks which are not cabovers.

Re: GM Semis
I never knew that, I figured you could run an old truck as long as you wanted to. I guess the rules must be different for commercial trucks.

Re: GM Semis
Yes, but I understand other states are considering following Ca. There is Ag and low mileage exemptions. Bunch of horse dookey, but I'm just a dumb trucker

Re: GM Semis
If I were running local short haul, I'd probably still have a 9500 with a 6-71, lol.
