Beautiful 9500. With the Dual Stacks, it's most likely an 8V-71.

is that the White conventional you are refering too from the previous post ? if So i have two questions.. first i guess you cant beleive everything you hear on youtube as I was led to beleive the 8v's were pretty much millitary only

and second, I know where there is a 5500 ? in that style that is a long flat bed, and supposedly powered with a 350 how hard is it to repower those with a detroit ? is it even feasible ?

Right, I was referring to the White Conventional.

The 8V-71 has been widely used by the government, but it was a pretty popular engine in Road Tractors and Trucks. Not only in GMC's, but many other makes as well, even Ford.

What size Detroit would you like to put into the 5500?

Added this ole girl to the project list. 1977 9500/6-71/RTO-9513 NASA Lewis Research truck with only 75K miles on her. Paid cash and drove her home, couple of hours, and she ran like a top. Probably going to change the gearing so she motors down the hwy at a decent speed. Can't wait to start this restoration.
