Shoooo

**special-K** · 11-01-2016, 06:22 AM

Wow!

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-01-2016, 08:57 AM

Fine example of a heavy Medium.

2 weeks and not one...

Guess I'll go again

regan wilson · 11-16-2016, 08:27 PM

Thanks. That must have been a fresh load. No Detroit smoke on the hay.

He was my hero.

**special-K** · 11-18-2016, 11:07 PM

That is probably my favorite GMC. Especially a truck & trailer hay hauler

Truck & trailer freightliner hay trucks where very common truck out west.
The new emissions regs have killed a ton of them though.

How is that? New emission regs for old trucks?

**special-K** · 11-19-2016, 10:43 AM

I'm curious about that, too

Has this one been shown? I have held off on saving pictures from this thread so as to not repeat any, but still could have been posted

I believe they are new, but even if they ain't, it's good to see them again.

The bottom truck is an early model with that cool Triple Horn option they had back then.

**special-K** · 11-19-2016, 05:01 PM

Yeah, looks to be a bells & whistles model. Probably a '66 or '67 you think?

I went and found some pictures a while back, ut never posted. Pretty sure all new ones, but now I can't tell. I just saved some last night and I added "ns" to the code to tell me "not shown". Here's another I thnk I saved back a while:

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-19-2016, 05:41 PM

Right, the blue one is either a '66 or '67.

The red truck is sure another fine example of a nice Long Nose.

Don't ask! California required even older diesels be retrofitted diesel particulate filters, and even then eventually older trucks will need to be repowered with modern diesels. The state was giving tax incentives to fleets for new equipment, so what that means is a lot of older trucks are being retired. Since Freightliner doesn't make cabovers anymore (actually they do make glider kits, so you can build one yourself) most of those hay haulers replaced them. Good news is you can get exemptions from all this jazz for historical trucks.

**special-K** · 11-19-2016, 10:15 PM

Good old California. But, what happens there is generally the writing on the wall for the rest of us. Around here, first we saw cabovers disappear once the length laws were lifted...and 53' trailers came about...and then a bunch of broken up curbs and ruts beyond them. Now we are seeing old cabovers run by guys who don't want to deal with the computruck/particulate filter thing.

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-19-2016, 10:51 PM

A good example of a Heavy Medium.

Old trucks are illegal to run, to much pollution or some such non sense.
Have to be retro fitted with DPF Filters or replaced by new trucks which are not cabovers.

Katrina/10 · 11-21-2016, 07:14 PM

I never knew that, I figured you could run an old truck as long as you wanted to. I guess the rules must be different for commercial trucks.

I believe that is in CA only.

Yes, but I understand other states are considering following Ca.
There is Ag and low mileage exemptions.
Bunch of horse dookey, but I'm just a dumb trucker

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-21-2016, 11:46 PM

If I were running local short haul, I'd probably still have a 9500 with a 6-71, lol.
