the truck got bigger but the logs they carry gotten smaller

**davischevy** · 02-13-2017, 09:39 PM

A 58, two 59's and three 60's.

We had a some hardwood logs that big in the Kaskaskia river bottoms in Illinois, in the late sixties. Our old trucks were binders and Macks. My dad went down and priced a new twin screw, 427 powered Chevy, but the contract was almost complete and he went back to building houses.

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-14-2017, 12:47 AM

That '60 in the middle is carrying a wild load. I wonder if it was just for "show".

Pretty cool picture though.

KQQL IT · 02-14-2017, 12:06 PM

The '60s have the IFS yet. Remember my pop saying they pulled it all out of the school buses, to expensive to rebuild.

**special-K** · 02-16-2017, 10:42 AM

A '58, two '59s, and three '60s equals seven, right?

That is a crazy load on the center truck that didn't get counted.

So true, mostly smaller logs/bigger trucks now.

Torsion bar in medium duty didn't fly it seems.

I wonder if the older trucks are Dark Green and the later ones Medium Green. That's my bet.

KQQL IT · 02-19-2017, 01:17 PM

Friend's send me 9500 pics now.

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-19-2017, 01:38 PM

Nice.

Sure wish they were still making them.

What year and model is it? 9500-ish??

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-19-2017, 06:16 PM

Somewhere between a '73 and a '77 9500, but I wish it had a better shot of the Grab Handle, lol.

**davischevy** · 02-19-2017, 08:58 PM

This 9500 is a 71. It has dual headlights. I sure wish I had bought it when I had a chance. 671 with a 13 speed for $7,500.

68panelman · 02-19-2017, 09:03 PM

Beautiful truck, I'd be kicking myself too

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-20-2017, 05:29 PM

Pretty good price for a nice truck like that.

Did the Flat Bed Dump?

**davischevy** · 02-20-2017, 10:55 PM

No dump.
The truck was perfect for a roll back.

I agree. It would make a great Roll Back.

It is also one of the nicest of the bunch.

**davischevy** · 02-21-2017, 10:10 PM

For any body that's been paying attention to my stuff, I would need a red one.

Although, That green one would be hard to pass up.

**special-K** · 02-21-2017, 10:26 AM

I see truck prices taking off now. You couldn't get much back out of them till more recently. That one is gorgeous. I had known of this one I ab-so-lute-ly love in CA, then it went up for sale at my worst time for money...for $7,500 also!!

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-21-2017, 11:22 AM

Of all the 9500's that we have shown here on the boards that truck above is definitely one of the nicest ones of the bunch. The price of $7500 was a steal.

**special-K** · 02-22-2017, 12:54 AM

I figure you'd have them painted.

**davischevy** · 02-22-2017, 01:04 AM

We just got one back from the paint shop.

**special-K** · 02-24-2017, 09:08 AM

Some call it Victory Red but we know it's Davis Red, right?

**davischevy** · 02-24-2017, 12:46 PM

A lot of people around here call it that.

KQQL IT · 03-03-2017, 12:24 PM

With all the excitement for me lately haven't posted any big trucks.

2 from Facebook

watahyahknow · 03-03-2017, 02:50 PM
