Believe it or not, 637's are still in use today. They are still in many Fire Trucks, usually in rural areas or small towns.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

A funny story kinda goes along with these pics. I snapped these about 2 years ago on my way to a truck pull that was out in Broken Bow. My Buddy Jeff was driving and I was riding shotgun and we had 2 other friends who are also old Chevy nuts in the back of "Marge" (91 cutlass ciera). Anyway were rolling through central Nebraska drinking coffee and seeing who could stink who out of the car(we all had horrendous gas that morning for some reason) when we roll up on Loup city, we notice one big old square body 4x either Napco or a Marmon Herrington conversion but it wasn't in an area where we could stop and snap a few pics, anywho as were rolling down main drag we go by a run down little fillin station and this Big orange behemoth was stittin there Jeff about locked up the binders on Marge trying to stop we all knew it was a big old Napco, Its not everyday you see a big Napco like this and this was the first one I had seen in the flesh so to speak. We all jumped out and snapped a few pics and then we got back on our merry way.

I think Jeff has a few pics of this truck as well I see If he has em in his photobucket.

Bradley, you posted some great pictures there. Quite a few I've never seen before and I've spent many a Saturday night searching for them.

Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Wow! That's some sweet lookin' trucks. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Nice additions. There were a lot in that wad I was going to show :cool:.I still think the black GMC 9500 tractor is the sexiest.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Some other nice C9500 tractors:

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

I figure if we limit the pictures we show,the thread will stay alive longer. here's a few of an old war hero:

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Damn, that thing is *****in. Good idea with the limiting pictures thing. Will do.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Tuff enough? :D

How about this one?

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

The truck in the first picture on post #140 has a Chevrolet Grille with GMC letters on it.

The whole backing panel is probably from a Chevrolet.

Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

I remember when that was first posted on here. I needed tissues...

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Hey,you're right...higher headlights and center bar. It looks good. I was going to say I get a special "kick" out of seeing the big Chevys. It seems 9 times out of 10 they are GMC,which I would expect. Kinda like seeing a nice light duty GMC when you're used to seeing Chevys.

I get a bad case of "the wants" every time I see that thing.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

I love this one:

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

My dad used to have a grain truck similar to this one:

http://www.fastline.com/flimages/int.../3045774_1.jpg

Wish he still had it!

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Cool. you still see them in use at harvest time. If they had custom farmers back then like they do now I bet there'd be more Cheyennes and CSTs.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Here's a big boy grain truck:

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Notice that there are some real heavy Mediums and then there are some pretty light Heavy trucks out there? They made C-70's (C-90 style cab) with a GVW probably as low as 25,000 and some C-60's (Medium style cab like above) with a GVW close to 50,000.

Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Yeah,I love that about the medium & heavy duty trucks. There were so many options to tailor a truck to your needs.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Tough, reliable trucks too. Simple to work on and fun to drive to boot.

Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

How about a twin stick Detroit? I hope to get a chance to own one before it's over. Here's a heavy Medium Duty w/aux tranny.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

I wonder if this truck is in MD because I have seen that cab over at a car show in Laurel before.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Tim, Nice heavy Medium. I like the factory buckets to allow for the 2 trannys.

Mayo, Yes the GMC 9500 is from MD. It is owned by an online friend of mine.

Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

By the way, I learned a little more about the "Lime Green" GMC with the Snow Plow posted earlier. It doesn't have Detroit Diesel, but a 3208 Cat. Also has a trans that is pretty much a disappointment. It has an Allison Auto. It's also for sale for a pretty reasonable price, but if I were to buy it, I would be changing it to a Detroit with a Road Ranger. A 5 X 4 trans would do fine also.

Bill

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Gotta have a Detroit in a Jimmy. Bill,you must know that guy from The Stovebolt Page,maybe? I've never run into him,but seen his truck at some ATHS shows. He lives not far from me in Dayton,MD. That truck is a true gem. You have to try to make it up to the Tri-State (ATHS) show outside of Winchester the end of September. That goes for anyone else near enough.

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

Time, here's one for ya in Tuscarora:

Re: 67-72 C/K/T-40's-90's!
 

That's clean. I wonder what motor and if it's a 2spd rear. It would be cool with a little dump body.
