Re: GM Semis
This is how you deal with trusses on the job site.

Re: GM Semis
Same kind of truck, same kind of trusses, but I would deliver them a little different, lol.

Re: GM Semis
GMC offered the 6-71T early on in the 970 series around 1957 rated at 235 H.P., when most 6-71's were 180 H.P.. They must have dropped the engine option sometime before 1960 because I can't find any records of it after. I don't think the 6-71T returned to GMC's until the early 80's.

Re: GM Semis
That does sound familiar. I believe I read some details about that somewhere.

Re: GM Semis
Possible it was some kind of SEO on GMC's. 6-71T's were built for other make trucks in the 70's though. Seem to remember seeing some International S series trucks with 6-71T's in the late 70's.

Another beauty from Pacarhauler! Looks like a 62 Biscayne behind the cab.

Re: GM Semis
A Gas Engine in a Long Nose? Wondering if that was really available. I've never heard of one. Possibly in the early days of '66 or '67? If so, I'm sure it was the 637 V-8 only.

Re: GM Semis
Yes and yes! I have never seen one or even a picture of one though, but that model is listed in the Data Book and brouchers. There were a very few 637 gas powered Crackerbox cabovers made, a guy on the ATHS website had one years ago.

Re: GM Semis
Bob, Just as an update, how many 9500 Conventionals have you ever seen with a 637 V-8 Gas?
Also have you ever seen one yet with a 10-Speed Road Ranger behind it? It's been just about 50 years now since the company I worked for took delivery on a JE with a 10-Speed and in all those years, I have never yet to even hear of another. I have also researched it pretty thoroughly through the years. Did we have the only one in the US, lol?

Re: GM Semis
Just a couple and they were HE series fire engines. Seems that mose 637's came with large Spicer 5 speeds but the consensus seems to have been they needed more gears. A 10 speed or 5X4 would probably have ideal.

Which reminds me of the '68 Long Nose I saw a few years back. It had a 6-71 instead of an 8V-71 but to my surprise, it had a 5 and 2 (2-Speed Rear). I had never seen one in a Long Nose before but sure enough, it was a former Firetruck.

Re: GM Semis
That's what I was thinking. Probably lowest production numbers on the load.
Where that 4x4 factory in 62 or a conversion. My pre 73 history is lacking.

Re: GM Semis
Starting for the ‘60 model year, GM did the 4x4 in house on the 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks.
Prior to ‘60 it was a NAPCO conversion. It was also a NAPCO conversion on the 1 ton and heavier trucks from ‘60 until??? GMs first in house 1 ton 4x4 was 1977.
