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.

Yeah, the site isn't that accurate. He is calling the Long Nose an "H" when an "H" is actually a Single Axle. He got it half right though, a Long Nose is an "MH".

But my site name isn't that accurate either, lol. There is no such thing as a plain old C-90 Chevy. C-80 in the earlier years, but they were actually CH, CJ or CMH.
