Re: GM Semis

Yeah, I always knew the International as the Westcoaster as well. Those were not sold back east. I always considered the long frame tractors to be west coast tractors or just western. I don't go far enough back to know those IHs as Emeryvilles. The ones I know of as commonly called Emoryvilles were the later/next style body, both conventionals and COEs*. No matter, I'd say it all works and I knew what trucks everyone was talking about. And since trucks were built at Emoryville over many years and many models, they are all Emoryvilles and the style/length of truck seen on the west coast and not the east (till length laws changed) can certainly be identified as a westcoaster.

*I went to find pictures of what I know as Emoryvilles and was shown all COEs, while I have always known the conventionals to also (mostly) be called that
