RIP Mr. Bill you had some great pics.

Look closely at this MH9500. Starting around 1974, GMC raised the cab to accommodate a larger radiator, this is one of those later MH's. Notice the tops of the fenders are thicker and their are 2 headlights instead of 4 at the bottom edge of the grille. That style of grill was introduced in 1971 on the short nose H/J 9500's when GMC raised the cab on those models to accommodate the 8V-71 and NTC Cummins.

Really neat truck!

Re: GM Semis
 

this truck from post #452 appears to be the chevy version of this same raised cab.

Re: GM Semis

Maybe one of these...

Re: GM Semis
 

Heck yeah. My kind of RV

Re: GM Semis
 

The more I look at this thing the more I think some dude built it, not GMC. Look close, the grilles are stacked late 70's Sierra pickup grilles. 8 headlights?

Re: GM Semis
 

Maybe a repost but.

I have seen this truck in person, and it is nice. It originally had the Twin-Hydramatic in it.

Some time ago I had the pleasure of driving his 2axle Pete around the Antique ag show in tulare

Big Cam with a Holset turbo made some beautiful music

Re: GM Semis
 

I believe I have seen that truck too. Very nice, I love the old Pete's with the small cab. For just a few years there Peterbilt offered the wide hood with the small cab, to me that's one of the all time classics.

Re: GM Semis
 

Like 69-72 usually big power spec.

Nice looking truck.

Pretty good front-end height for a low hood.

Re: GM Semis
 

No idea.

Re: GM Semis
 

If this was a 80 series, I would be interested. Looks very clean http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/5034902451.html

Re: GM Semis
 

Other than being from Watsonville, It could be rusty

Re: GM Semis
 

Interesting truck.

I can never remember a Road Tractor of that era, with that low of a GVW.

Yet it has 10-Lug Front Wheels.

Oh that's nice, betcha there's a 671 Detroit in ol' boy

Re: GM Semis
 

Many of those did, but if you blow that picture up there is a 'Turbocharged' emblem on the hood. That truck had a 4-71T in it. Rare combination.
