Funny thing a lot of the Chevy 6X2 trailing axle tandems did use Hendrickson rear suspension. They used the Chevy or Eaton built 14,000# drive axle in front with a dead axle in the rear position. The Hendrickson beam suspension worked well in those applications, it was less likely to 'hang' the drive axle on uneven terrain than a 4 leaf tandem suspension. That having been said, I think the truck in the picture is 'twin screw' judging by the lug tires on both rear axles.

It looks that way by the rubber on it, too. Wouldn't you love to have that one? I don't know anything about it. Just found the picture looking for Chevy fire trucks

I'm not sure if this has been shown. I just saved it, too

**davischevy** · 11-15-2020, 12:44 PM

Those last two are just plain cool.

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-15-2020, 01:18 PM

Two real nice trucks.

KQQL IT · 11-20-2020, 10:55 AM

Neat little truck

A lot of chrome on that one! Note the highly sought after 22.5" solid rims!

**special-K** · 11-20-2020, 07:59 PM

Love it. A V8 emblem would really set it off. Not that GMC 6s aren't cool.

**special-K** · 11-21-2020, 11:44 AM

Yep! That thing is well equipped. Has the factory stake body, too. It could still have had the panoramic window added, but that is a very deluxe truck

I may have shown this truck earlier in this thread. I lost the picture when another laptop died and recently came across it again online. I absolutely love this truck. It was for sale in Wheels Of Time mag (ATHS) quite a few years ago and I was sad to not be able to consider buying. Even back then I felt it was very cheap for as nice as it is. The owner was asking $7,500 ten or more years ago. I'd put this thing up against all the li'l shortbeds at a show. I wonder where it is now

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-22-2020, 12:06 AM

I agree Tim, that Green Dump is one of the nicest examples of a 9500 anywhere.

If I had it I would even put it to work, lol.

Just selected loads though in nice weather only.

**special-K** · 11-22-2020, 09:11 AM

Me too. Just a handy chore truck. A load of driveway stone would just set it off, make the motor sound better

**special-K** · 11-27-2020, 01:45 PM

Not sure I didn't show this grain body yet

**special-K** · 11-29-2020, 11:55 AM

How about that. Looks like it got a special paint job

**special-K** · 12-13-2020, 01:20 PM

I'd like a single 5th wheel like this one. Second one is a pure dream load. I'll take them all!

**NewBayColony** · 12-13-2020, 05:56 PM

Love the car carrier. I drove one for 30 years. Fleet Carriers was bought by Ryder and I worked for them. That would have been tough to load and unload especially in the rain or snow. Not much clearance on the sides. I had a chance to buy a Chevy tractor from Anchor Motor Freight, another car carrier company, but I had no place to store it. Big mistake. It had the vacuum 2 speed rear end and air brakes.

that bumper back in the day was over $800.00 only and the EXTRA lower section was extra and it was NOT available as a replacement option or even a part # to order it back in the day .

he said lots of guys wanted these back in the day and there was more often a no go as the factory was the only ones to put them on . he did gm med / heavy duty sales parts for over 35+ years at a gm med / heavy duty dealer .

**Bob B.** · 12-19-2020, 02:14 AM

I believe it was stone guard for an extra deep radiator. Saw those guards on Astro 95's as well, sometimes chromed too!

factorystock · 12-20-2020, 11:20 AM

Looks like a 5000 series, probably near Pontiac Michigan.

KQQL IT · 12-16-2020, 03:16 PM

C10 - C90 Bill · 12-16-2020, 04:23 PM

Second picture down in post #2204, factory photo of nice brand new '66 or '67 7500's with either V-6 Gas or Toro-Flow engines. If the truck behind the Red one is Forest Green and has a Toro-Flow, it could be my old truck, lol.

My '67 7500 was a Toro-Flow before it got converted to a 6V-53.

**special-K** · 12-18-2020, 06:40 AM

Another handful

**special-K** · 12-22-2020, 07:24 AM

^^^ What a great picture!

Agree. One nice example of a '64/'65 5000.

But there is something missing.
