Re: GM Semis
Yeah, Roadway. Not just the orange/dark blue paint scheme, notice it's a 6X2 tag axle, not a twin-screw, and no doubt it has a 8V-71. 10 speed Road Ranger, single stack, cut down front bumper, and a Farr dry air filter. Roadway spec'ed most of their line-haul tractors that exact way in the 70's, regardless of make. I have seen Roadway White 4000's and Mack R's set up that same way, and seeing/hearing an R with a Jimmy 8 under the hood is weird to say the least. And Roadway had 100's of them.
Funny the truck looks to have a Chevy grille with 'GMC' letters on it.

Re: GM Semis
I see what you mean about the grille. What is the reason for a cut down bumper? I think the present owner changed the stacks. I think I spy the tip of a driver side stack. I'd like to see that grille closer to see what they did

Re: GM Semis
Every once in a while we will see a GMC with a Chevy type Grille. The only sense I can make out of it would be they may have had a temporary shortage of GMC Grilles and they would just use a Chevy Grille in it's place, which is of course an exact fit, and put GMC Letters on it. Either that or GM may have had more than one supplier of Grilles and that's the way they may have made them, as rare as they are.

Re: GM Semis
I thought that front end looked unusual, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

Re: GM Semis
A quick search and they were produced from 74-81 for the GMC 9500, that's from the images I've looked at, could of been a year earlier or later. So not all GMC's got four eyes hehe

The Roadway truck above is actually a '72 or older (Low Hood). For those that may be wondering, they made the High Hood truck to enable it to have a larger Radiator.

Re: GM Semis
Looks like it was a pretty good over-the-road hauler back in it's day.
Another early model (with a non-original signal light).
