I agree and I am actually looking for one myself, in my general area. Although I am looking for an H-Model which is a Single Axle. The J is the Tandem.
I don't pretend to know anything about these trucks. I had to look up Brigadier - sounded familiar, but didn't know what it was until I saw that big rectangle grill. This site relates them though and the information is a little contradictory. I guess whoever put it together sees the 9500 as a precursor to the Brigadiers which also apparently use the 9500 designation. Whatever the case, these rigs are not part of my knowledge base, but I know a cool truck when I see one! Good luck with your hunt.
