How a bout a heavy oldie?

junkmandan3 · 12-22-2016, 12:27 AM

10 axles ain't bad for a 6-71 ! And when the V-12s took over they had 13 axles, now they limit 'em to 11 axles.

**special-K** · 12-23-2016, 08:47 AM

That's got to be quite a load there. I look at that picture and wish I was there to watch (and hear) him get those wheels up to speed. It doesn't take much to visualize it. I feel lucky to have lived during those trucks' time

When we would travel back to Virginia going through Pennsylvania back in the 80's and 90's, we would stop at a restaurant that was at the bottom of a long hill. Detroits were everywhere climbing that long hill with full loads. I would always suggest to have lunch there for some reason, lol.

More facebook finds

C10 - C90 Bill · 12-24-2016, 07:12 PM

Nice !!

**special-K** · 12-26-2016, 10:05 AM

They do exist! (M&M commercial) Seriously, every one of these I see makes me feel happy another exists out there. It gives more hope that one day maybe one could be mine.

68panelman · 12-26-2016, 10:49 AM

That's a nice one,
Is the side marker on the hood an add on?

It definitely is not original. It looks like one from a pick-up.

**special-K** · 12-28-2016, 11:48 PM

Someone took a lot of pride in that one.

junkmandan3 · 12-29-2016, 12:23 PM

Darn sure looks better than my Chivvy !

**special-K** · 12-30-2016, 07:23 AM

Looks even better compared to my seventy none

I sure miss the old hand painted and lettered fleets

watahyahknow · 12-30-2016, 08:01 AM

worked for a truck chassisbuilder back in the 80's and they still had one of those man that painted the letters by hand , was interesting to watch

**special-K** · 12-31-2016, 01:56 AM

Yeah, sign painters are getting to be a rare breed. It is very interesting to watch them work.

KQQL IT · 01-07-2017, 03:17 PM

More 9500 goodness. FB pics

All stacked up ready to roll

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-14-2017, 07:22 PM

That's a good looking load, but No Head Board !!

If he ever had to hit the brakes hard, that whole load would shift forward.

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-15-2017, 11:03 PM

That's pretty good, a John Deere Diesel Engine in a GM Truck.

I've got a GM Diesel Engine in my John Deere Tractor, lol.

(Optional 2-53 Detroit)

Right.

A '59 JD 435.

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-15-2017, 11:42 PM

I did a little research on the JD powered truck and it seems like very few, possibly only one, was made and they were never marketed to the buying public.
