Re: GM Semis

It's big enough that I notice the fuel fill door open on the one. That makes me think someone was stealing gas. Then, I think that would be the hardest one and I wonder if it was the last one. I never would have wondered all that if the picture wasn't so big

Actually they blow open all the time on #1 spot.
BMWs and Beetles gas door will blow completely off.
Apparently going backwards at 70 mph wasn't engineered.

Back when homes had 550 and up gallon heating oil tanks. My neighbor has an old 1500 gallon, boy does he have sludge problems...

Never considered that on the gas doors. I bought a truck from San Diego that was hauled on a flatbed. In OK they had some crazy wind that tore the bedliner out. They had just installed it before loading. It still had a brand new tailgate liner.

Re: GM Semis

SO, does anyone have a picture under the hood of a 9500 with a 8v-71 ? I would like to see one. Thinking about bidding on one up my way and am curios what it is supposed to look like.

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!

Nice!

I really wish DCP or First Gear would make a die-cast replica of one of those. Instead of yet another customized long-nose Pete..........
