In the gas version the Chevy had v8s the gmc had 401 and 478 v6 . In CALIFORNIA the power company I retired from in the 80s our cabover 4x2 digger Derrick had 401 v6 the 4x4 had 478 v6 . They were Allison automatic and gmc made the exhaust manifolds point up so we could run stacks. We paid dearly for that option. They weighed 35000 lbs the 4x2 was 513 gears and the 4x4 was 617 gears ..these were another option we got.
Chevy w/v8 and GMC w/v6, generally speaking correct. We had a Chevy purchased new and it had a 401 v6, there are always a few unexplainable oddities that pop up.
These remind me of the early 80’s when my dad would drive a GMC 9500 to plow snow at his work. It was from the Lackawanna,NY Bethlehem steel plant. Single axle dump truck that was a big, orange and rusty beast with a large plow on it. I was like 7-8 years old so it seemed like a battle ship to me when I was standing next to it.
Generally back then the car haulers tried to use the same brand tractor as the cars they were hauling. My dad worked for a Chevy dealer in that time frame and I remember new Chevys coming in on a hauler like that. To the best of my memory they were dark blue like the one at 13:09. Also, remember the unique Detroit sound.
My grandpa had a sanitation service in the 50’s through the 70’s in Nebraska and I remember as a small thinking that GMC 9500 truck he had was an absolute monster, especially when that Detroit Diesel idled. It was like it was growling!
Cool video Dane! So my grandfather was a GMC man and we still have his 1967 7500 twin screw dump truck. The biggest difference between GMC and Chevy back then was in the gas engines. GMC built their own big V6 gassers which ours still has. Tons of stump pulling torque.
I would love to see old school trucks restored and running and go up against brand new trucks the old school trucks would out last brand new trucks 😊keep the hammer down safe and sound
I like that shade of green. Government highway trucks (DOT) here used to be that very shade of green before they went to construction yellow. Such an awesome find!
I have actually driven that PJ's Towing truck. I worked for them in the late 80's back when they owned it. They are in Lansing Michigan. ( you can see it says "Lansings Finest" on the rear quarter of it..) My dad drove for C & J hauling cars between Fisher Body and Oldsmobile Plant 1. They ran those GMC's just like Anchor. My grandfather drove a flatnose Jimmy just like yours for US Truck out of Lansing that almost killed him. Those GMC's were all over the Lansing area in the 60's and 70's..
Wow! How cool is that? It’s amazing how many times guys tell me that they recognize a truck from days gone by. Yes the Jimmys were like apple pie and baseball in their day. Just everywhere. 😬👍
Those trucks ran more than could ever be counted on the I-94 power lane between Chicago and Detroit way back when. A cog in the industrial Midwest gears of America.
When I was a kid we lived in Fairfax,Virginia not too far from a Texaco tank farm,and they ran 9500 long noses with Detroits. I’m not sure,but I believe they ran 12v71s in them. I vividly remember hearing them out on Lee Highway in the early morning hours taking off from a red light and listening to those screamers. If there were two of them,I’m sure they were drag racing by the sound of things. It’s no wonder that listening to that at the age of 7-8 years old that I would end up driving.
Your one month ahead on my reply Old Man ! I remember those days very well , & Texaco stations seemed to be everywhere in Northern VA. & I remember them running down 236 , I- 495 , & I -95 truly star of the American road ! I use to drive by that tank farm 5 days a week from the Memco at Fairfax Circle to I -495 ! I'll never forget that sound of those twin chrome stacks pure power .
@@ACF6180T If you know the Memco then you remember the truck shop next door,all those C+H,Tri State and Parkhill trucks in there. I used to ride my bike all around Fairfax looking for trucks. The old White House motel was a favorite of the bedbuggers.
@@oldman975 I do remember the White House motel going west on 50 just past the circle ! But it all seems kind fuzzy now ! I know more about Springfield , & Annadale area than Fairfax.
The 12V71 would not last long as it was gradually phased out after the 8V92 was introduced in 1974. The turbocharged 8V92T had similar power and torque as the 12V71N, just as the 6V92T had supplanted the still popular 8V71N.
Dane, I remember well Anchor Motor Freight, as the had a big hub up here in Champlain, NY, on the Quebec/NY border, here the border crossing, on I-87. I knew guys working on the trucks, and a few drivers back then. They hauled a lot of cars out of here. Nice video, of your new project, and I believe like you, it was a former Anchor Truck. Take Care!
Pretty neat video , & deduction of what Sarge use to do in the past ! & being a die hard Chevy guy it's neat to see those new Chevrolet's from the mid 70's being hauled on those portable parking lots too , & from there destinations ! & I'll never forget those long nose 9500 GMC's that use to haul tankers for the star of the American road ( Texaco ) all done up in red , & there twin chrome stacks literally screaming that they where the star of the American road ! Nothing could match the sound of those Detroit's ! Thanks for bringing back those memories , & the video.
In 1992 fresh outta high school I started driving a 1976 Chevrolet 90 series tandem dump truck for my grandpa, 318hp 8v71 Detroit, 13spd roadranger trans, 34,000lb Hendrickson rear suspension, I drove that truck for 5 years before going to a Mack.
I worked for an outfit back in the late 70's early 80's and we made and hauled concert drainage tile and we had a couple of 9500 GMC trucks with the 318 and the 13 speed man man that was a lot of fun back then driving those trucks
Anchor Motor Freight, my old Alma Mater. That truck you showed tractor 2927 was out of my terminal. Wellesley Island NY. We had a mix of Chevy C90's and GMC 95's. When I started there in March of 1979, we still had a few of the dark blue/yellow painted tractors. They were '69 and '70 models. If I recall, Leaseway took over around 1973 and the trucks after that were the turquoise color. The yellow headramp might have come off an older truck or maybe it was painted yellow/turquoise when it was mounted on that truck. That load of GM X bodies came out of the Tarrytown NY plant, the oldest GM plant in existence (1916). The dark blue trucks had a single 20 inch wheek/tire on each side of the pusher. The 15 inchers came along in the early 70's and interchanged with the wheels/tires on the Bankhead B6/B7 trailers we used. A few of those tractors ended up as single axle dumps around here afterwards.
Funny you should mention the Anchor car carrier. The carrier platforms were manufactured by Whitehead and Kales, which coincidentally also built the car carriers you saw on the railroads back in the 70s and 80s, also known as "Autoracks". W&K was bought out by Thrall Car Company in 1981.
Seems like GMC’s made great wreckers for General Motors. My step-dad drove for GM for 40 years. Now when your hauling #140k every day and most likely more. They liked those high reving Detroits and had some huge wreckers sitting around their garage. It’s what got me started towing. I started in 1985 at a towing company doing light duty and worked up to H.D. There were no truck driver training schools. G.M. Even tried turbine trucks hauling all that weight. It’s crazy the things they tried. Kenosha and Janesville motor freight were huge hauling vehicles for G.M.
An old Anchor power unit…the fact that it still exists is a miracle, as most of them were ran into the dirt! Tales abound of the less-than-premium maintenance/care these old portable parking lots received….by comparison, this old warhorse has landed in the lap of luxury! The only fault I could find in your presentation is the assertion of the 12v71 being an engine option for the GMC MH9500/Chevrolet C90 long-hood…they were never factory installed in any GM heavy trucks aside from the Astro 95/Titan 90. The biggest engine they saw was the 8v71…
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I will say, I’ve seen a few home-brew 12v71 swaps into an MH9500. The amount of “engineering” involved into making it not only FIT, but WORK is a wonder of mechanical engineering.
Chevy C80 tandem was the choice of our local choice for garbage trucks in the early 80s. I can still remember the sound of the Detroit 2 strokes. They were everywhere . City snowplows too
Congrats on the new addition to the Fleet Dane , you keep adding to the Fleet you may need to purchase the old Bartones at the state line fr the shop and yard space , expanded version of the " Truckers Lounge "" LOL , excited to see what you do with it , I like the idea of the Anchor/ Leaseway theme , 👍👍👍👍
Find a trailer and make it into a car hauler again. I saw a car hauler at Mid-America truck show in Louisville Kentucky years ago that had a load of antique Corvettes. You might get a load of antique lowrider Cadillacs.😂😂😆😆. You might have to break open the piggy bank for that. I like your channel and content.
It’s a common misconception that the long hood J/H trucks (called the C/M series officially) got the 12V71 as a factory option….they never did. I’d thought the same thing but over the years talking to several learned GM truck guys and speaking with even more learned Detroit mechanics including one that did pretty well exclusively trucks, and reading factory literature from Detroit, it turns out that the only GM trucks to get the V12 from the factory were the Astro / Titan 95 and a few less than a handful of VERY rare “Crackerbox” tandem cabovers that were built to pull extremely heavy B train dump trailers. Pictures do exist of theose trucks, they were all on tall 24” tube type rubber (not 24.5, actual 24”…they don’t make a tubeless equivalent and an 11.00-24 is almost 5” taller than an 11r24.5). It has been theorized that with a stock long hood “high mount” C/M 90/9500 you could take the cab from a 93”bbc J/H 9500 with the big doghouse for the Cummins engine and make everything fit using factory parts. I’ve seen and heard this talked about dozens of times but never seen one in person or even pictures of a completed example. Also the General/Bison never got the 12V71 either, although I have heard it was listed in some early 77 sales brochures predating full scale production. By 1978 the 8V92T was available and made similar power and torque to the V-12 and GM wanted to showcase their latest, greatest diesel in their new truck. That said There is a 1976 or 77 publication by Detroit listing all the companies and models that offered each highway engine they made I have downloaded as a PDF and there are a few oddities you wouldn’t expect in there, for instance Mack only offered the 8V71 and 12V71 in the R700’s, they never installed any 6 cylinder models until the 92’s came out.
Well that went good. You’re right towing it home is really the best way to do that. Then you don’t have to worry about anything failing on the way and it wasn’t that far. Be interesting to see what you do with it. I can tell from your previous videos you’ll have the old girl fixed up beautifully. Are you going to keep the dump box on or remove it? Oh wait I’ll have to watch and see I bet. Can’t let too much out yet. It’ll be more interesting that way. Stay cool can’t wait to see the progress on it!
Thanks Darren, ya I definitely wanna remove the dump and make it look a lot more like it’s heritage I laid out in the video. Gotta have it ready for the “Jamboree “ 😬
Interesting video Dane, good luck and congrats on the new project! I'll be looking forward to seeing the progress on it. I think an Anchor tractor would be awesome project. There's an older heavy Chevy in a town near me, when I get a chance I'll snap a few photos and see if it has the emblems you need
Your welcome you should it would be a shame hit I know ever Trucker would love to hear the hole song but if you do can do the start up of the 8v71 in the beginning of the song also
Real cool!!!! That needs a good name painted on the front of the hood! Yep definitley not good to drive something like that home. And I don't think any V12 was factory in a 9500 or C90 long hood. I can send you a lot of old pictures of those GMC/Chevy car haulers I have saved.
Wrecker company where I live here in Nebraska had Chevy C90 with a Holmes 750 on it. 8v 71 and a 13 speed. He regrets to this day that he got rid of it when he updated to new equipment.
Hello Dane, In 1979 I drove a Chevy C80, had a 6V53 Detroit, had a 5 speed and 4 speed transmissions. Sounds pretty nice for a while, but some one removed the mufflers. Plus it had been turned up to 3,200 RPM, they came set up to 2,800. I was told a Chevy dealer was the one that turned it up and said it wouldn't void the warranty. It was a slurry truck, which means it was a straight truck, had a water tank, an asphalt tank ( used emulsifed oil , otherwise it wouldn't mix with water) , and had a big bucket for material, not like sand, and not as big as pea gravel. And it mixed at the back of the box then you pulled a 6 X 3 box behind and was used to seal asphalt roads, or parking lots. I was in Oklahoma City, at that time, and the gentleman I worked for, sealed a bunch of Oklahoma City streets, and an airport at Burns flat Oklahoma. I remember running along I 40, and was about 60 MPH and topped a small hill got hit with a gust of wind and had to down shift 3 gears. I think even with it turned up, 60 MPH was top speed. Another great video Dane, I don't know how you come up with so many interesting trucks and videos, but it makes my heart glad Sir. It also reminds me of so many different jobs I had as a young man.
Man my hat is tipped to you Bert! What great memories. I can’t imagine hearing that DD 6V53 screaming 28-3200 and with NO mufflers????? 😮😮😮😮😮 I appreciate your watching and there really is a lot of stuff out there but ya gotta dig for it now days. Lol.
My boss bought a 1970 Chevy C90 short hood. 238 13 spd, 18000# front steer 38000 rears. Sent Me to J &J body to have a 16' dump body made and mounted. Truck had a lot of problems with ends of walking beams braking bushing bolts.
40 miles home , Im eeezin her home if fluids and tires full lol. Good toy , I had a small GMC DUMP single axle with the V6 , shoulda kept it. Nice Hook taking her home.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE V6 gasser , sure looked big in there , cant remember the year . Old feller had it , and it was repainted , great care. Had place on drivers side to stack 2x6 boards , could lay accross and have a scaffold for roofing. I got it as most of payment way back for doing one side of his garage floor and drive way. Think it was a 5 with 2 sp axle. Was a smaller truck , silver and red. He had a matching painted crew cab dualy GMC pickup same year , he wasnt ready to sell it at the time. Late 80's , they were mid to late 60's.
O-H-I-O Porter greetings!🇺🇸 I had an uncle that loved the Chevy & GMCs like this & used them for his tractors. They were single axle rigs. He also owned Mack & Peterbuilt tandem axles rigs. 🤩 All of his trucks were extremely sharp & clean! Dude, I’m NOT shocked that you bought this truck. Was he excited to get rid of it? So you think it was an old Anchor/Leaseway truck? It sure has those similarities, doesn’t it?! Does the previous owner have much background on the truck? Did he make it into a dump truck? This truck sure has potential & you are just the right guy to get it going in the right direction! I have faith in you my friend! 😎 I sure liked the wrecker that picked this truck up & delivered it for you. Is that the same company that hauled for you before? Gonna keep my eyes open for you for some truck parts! Nice pics as well! 🥰😎✌️
I’m working on the history. The farmer I got it from had it about 8 years and only painted it the green. The previous to him owner had a landscaping company and is local so trying to get with him next. Yes Wendel Pinckney does my towing usually. He’s very good and reasonable as well. He has quite a few corn binders several of which are 4300s.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE 🇺🇸Good towing companies are getting harder to find. I have a good friend that hauls for me when needed. Sounds like you will get some good history on the dump truck. I like those old 4300s. My brother had one that was single axle with a 238 Detroit under it. What a truck! Blessings!🥰😎✌️

Dane when I was in flint mi in the early mid seventies I saw car Carriers all the time the company was complete auto transit I think most were powered by Detroit 6v 71
I would love to get a new project of music done. Just very hard with to keep up the pace lol. I need to get a new intro and song done asap as well. Thank you for asking. Perhaps in the winter.
Just wondering, do you have your CDL license 🤔, here in Ontario there is two different kinds of truck license, one is called a DZ,the other is AZ,DDz no bigger than a DUMP TRUCK,THE OTHER AZ just about every size rig.
Thanks for watching and for your question Stan. It’s a little more complicated here but these old trucks are hobby trucks so for show and parades they are plated “Antique” and do not require a CDL in that category. If I were to work them then it would require a CDL and the use would dictate which level of CDL I would need.
Dane the dump truck driver channel? Whatever you decide to do I am sure it will be cool and authentic. Oh if you have not heard of her, check out @dauminiquethedumptruckdriver channel

You might get a load of antique lowrider Cadillacs.😂😂😆😆.
You might have to break open the piggy bank for that.
I like your channel and content.
Oh that would definitely be killer Bud.
Thanks for watching 😬👍
It’s a common misconception that the long hood J/H trucks (called the C/M series officially) got the 12V71 as a factory option….they never did. I’d thought the same thing but over the years talking to several learned GM truck guys and speaking with even more learned Detroit mechanics including one that did pretty well exclusively trucks, and reading factory literature from Detroit, it turns out that the only GM trucks to get the V12 from the factory were the Astro / Titan 95 and a few less than a handful of VERY rare “Crackerbox” tandem cabovers that were built to pull extremely heavy B train dump trailers. Pictures do exist of theose trucks, they were all on tall 24” tube type rubber (not 24.5, actual 24”…they don’t make a tubeless equivalent and an 11.00-24 is almost 5” taller than an 11r24.5). It has been theorized that with a stock long hood “high mount” C/M 90/9500 you could take the cab from a 93”bbc J/H 9500 with the big doghouse for the Cummins engine and make everything fit using factory parts. I’ve seen and heard this talked about dozens of times but never seen one in person or even pictures of a completed example. Also the General/Bison never got the 12V71 either, although I have heard it was listed in some early 77 sales brochures predating full scale production. By 1978 the 8V92T was available and made similar power and torque to the V-12 and GM wanted to showcase their latest, greatest diesel in their new truck. That said There is a 1976 or 77 publication by Detroit listing all the companies and models that offered each highway engine they made I have downloaded as a PDF and there are a few oddities you wouldn’t expect in there, for instance Mack only offered the 8V71 and 12V71 in the R700’s, they never installed any 6 cylinder models until the 92’s came out.
Excellent info … thank you and thanks for watching 😬👍
Well that went good. You’re right towing it home is really the best way to do that. Then you don’t have to worry about anything failing on the way and it wasn’t that far. Be interesting to see what you do with it. I can tell from your previous videos you’ll have the old girl fixed up beautifully. Are you going to keep the dump box on or remove it? Oh wait I’ll have to watch and see I bet. Can’t let too much out yet. It’ll be more interesting that way. Stay cool can’t wait to see the progress on it!
Thanks Darren, ya I definitely wanna remove the dump and make it look a lot more like it’s heritage I laid out in the video. Gotta have it ready for the “Jamboree “ 😬
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE is the dump box any good?
Too far away for me, but someone close might want it!
Handy size!
Interesting video Dane, good luck and congrats on the new project! I'll be looking forward to seeing the progress on it. I think an Anchor tractor would be awesome project. There's an older heavy Chevy in a town near me, when I get a chance I'll snap a few photos and see if it has the emblems you need
Oh man! I would appreciate that. Thank you.
You’re going to need to buy that old truck stop across the border just for all you trucks and memorabilia 😂
Very nice Chevy love the intro I wish you could put this song on Spotify I would love to listen to the hole song
Thank you BK, I should do that 🤔
Your welcome you should it would be a shame hit I know ever Trucker would love to hear the hole song but if you do can do the start up of the 8v71 in the beginning of the song also
Real cool!!!! That needs a good name painted on the front of the hood! Yep definitley not good to drive something like that home. And I don't think any V12 was factory in a 9500 or C90 long hood. I can send you a lot of old pictures of those GMC/Chevy car haulers I have saved.
I’ll do that on Facebook
Wrecker company where I live here in Nebraska had Chevy C90 with a Holmes 750 on it. 8v 71 and a 13 speed. He regrets to this day that he got rid of it when he updated to new equipment.
I bet he does…. They are such icons of old school trucking.
Hello Dane,
In 1979 I drove a Chevy C80, had a 6V53 Detroit, had a 5 speed and 4 speed transmissions. Sounds pretty nice for a while, but some one removed the mufflers. Plus it had been turned up to 3,200 RPM, they came set up to 2,800. I was told a Chevy dealer was the one that turned it up and said it wouldn't void the warranty. It was a slurry truck, which means it was a straight truck, had a water tank, an asphalt tank ( used emulsifed oil , otherwise it wouldn't mix with water) , and had a big bucket for material, not like sand, and not as big as pea gravel. And it mixed at the back of the box then you pulled a 6 X 3 box behind and was used to seal asphalt roads, or parking lots. I was in Oklahoma City, at that time, and the gentleman I worked for, sealed a bunch of Oklahoma City streets, and an airport at Burns flat Oklahoma. I remember running along I 40, and was about 60 MPH and topped a small hill got hit with a gust of wind and had to down shift 3 gears. I think even with it turned up, 60 MPH was top speed.
Another great video Dane, I don't know how you come up with so many interesting trucks and videos, but it makes my heart glad Sir. It also reminds me of so many different jobs I had as a young man.
Man my hat is tipped to you Bert! What great memories. I can’t imagine hearing that DD 6V53 screaming 28-3200 and with NO mufflers????? 😮😮😮😮😮 I appreciate your watching and there really is a lot of stuff out there but ya gotta dig for it now days. Lol.
My boss bought a 1970 Chevy C90 short hood. 238 13 spd, 18000# front steer 38000 rears. Sent Me to J &J body to have a 16' dump body made and mounted. Truck had a lot of problems with ends of walking beams braking bushing bolts.
Wow that was the “heaviest” they could get I believe.
My Dad ran those when he was working for Cleveland freight lines in the 70's anyone have pictures of those trucks?
40 miles home , Im eeezin her home if fluids and tires full lol. Good toy , I had a small GMC DUMP single axle with the V6 , shoulda kept it. Nice Hook taking her home.
Was that the 6V53 or 71?
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE V6 gasser , sure looked big in there , cant remember the year . Old feller had it , and it was repainted , great care. Had place on drivers side to stack 2x6 boards , could lay accross and have a scaffold for roofing. I got it as most of payment way back for doing one side of his garage floor and drive way. Think it was a 5 with 2 sp axle. Was a smaller truck , silver and red. He had a matching painted crew cab dualy GMC pickup same year , he wasnt ready to sell it at the time. Late 80's , they were mid to late 60's.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Looking at pics , Both had to be 1960. Dualy crew cab , and 2ton dump with 305ci V6 gassers.
killer score Mr. Scott. I stand corrected. Big Chevies don't exist here in the NW. taker easy!
This is sweet Dane heck ya buddy
Oh ya! 😬👍
It will be interesting to see what you do with her!!
Enjoyed!!!!!

DANE great deal happy you got it

Im retird after 44 years driving wish i had the 9500. To ride in .best american trucks ever bilt.🥰👍
Hey buddy be safe an warm buddy see you soon
You too Tommy
O-H-I-O Porter greetings!🇺🇸 I had an uncle that loved the Chevy & GMCs like this & used them for his tractors. They were single axle rigs. He also owned Mack & Peterbuilt tandem axles rigs. 🤩 All of his trucks were extremely sharp & clean! Dude, I’m NOT shocked that you bought this truck. Was he excited to get rid of it? So you think it was an old Anchor/Leaseway truck? It sure has those similarities, doesn’t it?! Does the previous owner have much background on the truck? Did he make it into a dump truck? This truck sure has potential & you are just the right guy to get it going in the right direction! I have faith in you my friend! 😎 I sure liked the wrecker that picked this truck up & delivered it for you. Is that the same company that hauled for you before? Gonna keep my eyes open for you for some truck parts! Nice pics as well! 🥰😎✌️
I’m working on the history. The farmer I got it from had it about 8 years and only painted it the green. The previous to him owner had a landscaping company and is local so trying to get with him next.
Yes Wendel Pinckney does my towing usually. He’s very good and reasonable as well. He has quite a few corn binders several of which are 4300s.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE 🇺🇸Good towing companies are getting harder to find. I have a good friend that hauls for me when needed. Sounds like you will get some good history on the dump truck. I like those old 4300s. My brother had one that was single axle with a 238 Detroit under it. What a truck! Blessings!🥰😎✌️
Hauled cars for Ryder we had a bunch of those 9500 and some Chevys had plenty of dodges . would love to get some pics of old f j boutel gmcs and old m an g dodges not an anchor clanckor fan
There was alot of Anchor Motor Freight trucks run out of Lordstown plant
Dan the dodge and Fargo semi trucks
Dane when I was in flint mi in the early mid seventies I saw car Carriers all the time the company was complete auto transit I think most were powered by Detroit 6v 71
Very cool 😬
Great detective work Dane, are you going to leave it as a dump body.
No the body is going Russ. Of course maybe AFTER I get some more driveway stone lol.
Why am I not surprised you bought this one??
Friend tire of monett mo. Had the same color back in the day
Hi, I would love to share a photo. How do I go about it?
Email is sdgraphics@gwcmail.net
I am looking for exactly like the green monster. Old Chevy gas motor.
How far from your place was the C90 that you had to tow?
About 40-45 miles
You going to give the C90 a nickname? Stubby? "The Blunt"
Oh I'm sure it's gonna get its name lol.
Any plans on getting your music to Spotify?
I would love to get a new project of music done. Just very hard with to keep up the pace lol. I need to get a new intro and song done asap as well. Thank you for asking. Perhaps in the winter.
Do you have any for sale?
Message me on messenger or email: sdgraphics@gwcmail.net
It did not accommodate a 12V71 unless it was added after the fact.
So I’ve learned. It was for the 8V. Thank you.
Look for Xtra airlines for the tag
Great suggestion thanks
Dave another cool old truck. Check your Facebook post this afternoon I have something I think you will like.
Just wondering, do you have your CDL license 🤔, here in Ontario there is two different kinds of truck license, one is called a DZ,the other is AZ,DDz no bigger than a DUMP TRUCK,THE OTHER AZ just about every size rig.
Thanks for watching and for your question Stan. It’s a little more complicated here but these old trucks are hobby trucks so for show and parades they are plated “Antique” and do not require a CDL in that category. If I were to work them then it would require a CDL and the use would dictate which level of CDL I would need.
1st like YEAH ! ! ! !
Thanks Joe!
👍👍👍🚛👈
They have some than trucks up their oskaloosa Kansas truck junkyard cars on like that body type truck
If you couldn’t afford the kw Pete’s frieghtliner they would buy the lower end trucks Chevy ford white because of price
I have a nice old pic of a 9500 I’d like to send you if you have an email
Awesome. It’s sdgraphics@gwcmail.net
Dane the dump truck driver channel? Whatever you decide to do I am sure it will be cool and authentic. Oh if you have not heard of her, check out @dauminiquethedumptruckdriver channel
