Love that heavy wrecker.

This thread has been around so long I have to say this once in a while, I don't know if I've shown these yet or not. Maybe some and not others, but I wanted to present a nice group of similar Jimmys. If I grabbed some from here, thanks, here ya go again

Great picture. Medium duty riding along. Yeah, if I don't remember posting I guess others might not either. And who's going back through 97 pages/2,400+ posts to check on me?

If I went back to page 1 and looked through all those pages in one sitting I know I wouldn't remember what day it is

I know I showed some pictures of these mobile amusement ride Chevys, that bring back childhood memories. But I didn't show them all

**special-K** · 01-01-2022, 12:52 PM

One more. Anyone remember these? I think these are the first Chevy 6s that planted the seed in me. The sound and the smell are deeply imbedded in me for life

**davischevy** · 01-01-2022, 01:56 PM

I am trying to find pictures of a traveling tent revival that was headquartered in Hollister, Missouri in the early fifties.

All the trucks were GM and the trucks and trailers were turquois in color.

It was quite a site to see when they were all together.

**special-K** · 01-02-2022, 07:34 AM

I bet it was. I hope you can pull one up out of the depths. Kind of like a carnival on the road, only different

Nice pair. I enjoy saying that

You would definitely be the first one to arrive to the accident.

**NewBayColony** · 01-10-2022, 10:03 AM

Cabovers take a little getting used to. Like an old van. Little sheet metal and some glass to protect you.

Photo I nabbed from Facebook a GMC with 2 headlights instead of 4 that you'd normally see and was owned by Yellow Freight

We (Ryder) had a bunch of GMCs with 2 headlights as car carriers.

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-12-2022, 10:17 AM

Nice looking 9500. This would be a newer model, I would say about '76 or '77.

I'd like to have that one right there. I'd drive it and sleep in it... to antique trucks and at antique truck shows, that is

[ATTACH]2158297[ I'll take this please. Actually both of them.

C10 - C90 Bill · 01-14-2022, 09:43 AM

That was one of the greatest periods in Chevrolet history.

**special-K** · 01-14-2022, 09:00 PM

Yeah, Vettes and trucks had chrome steel bumpers

**davischevy** · 01-14-2022, 09:27 PM

I can get close. That GMC in the background was a road tractor before we made a dump truck out of it.

When you see the single low mounted headlights on a H/J model, it means that the truck is a '71 or later 'high-cab' version of the 9500. The cab was raised about 6" to clear the Detroit 8V-71 or Cummins NTC. Hood was taller to match the cab and give room for a larger radiator. GMC H/J trucks with gas, 6V-53, 6-71, Toroflow, Cat, and non-turbo Cummins kept the lower cab and hood with 4 headlights.

Bob, I really appreciate the great knowledge you bring to this board. I thank you. Ever think about writing a book?

X2! You really don't recognize the subtle changes manufactures do on there vehicles on a year to year basis unless you compare both together in the same photo.
