B-B-B-Beautiful. I've seen a smaller picture of that before. Nice restoration. I reckon that's an oil field rig?

**davischevy** · 02-01-2018, 11:05 PM

More from Pinterest.

They don't get much nicer than that.

Beautiful example of a nice 9500 Long Nose.

**davischevy** · 02-01-2018, 11:17 PM

Even I would look good in that one.

I can see me now, shifting a 6+4 behind that screaming Jimmy.

**davischevy** · 02-01-2018, 11:22 PM

That was an inside joke with myself. I drove a nine speed behind a 60 series Detroit yesterday for and hour before I realized it was a 13 speed.

Here's a ripped off pic of one of my former Teamster brothers. Probably loaded up with donuts in an older long nose...

I had a few extras of this truck but that's all I have found.

That actually was a very special one-off 950 tractor built for Pacific Intermountain Express in 1951. The only GMC road tractor ever built with a 275 h.p. Detroit 6-110 industrial/marine diesel. Idea was to give P.I.E. a very powerful tractor for for going over the Rockies, ect.. It wasn't successful, the 6-110 used a centrifugal blower (instead of the typical Rootes blower that a 71 series used) and was failure prone. Of course when the blower failed the engine swallowed the pieces and it was taken out as well!

Thanks for the info Bob, always wondered about that unit. Pretty rare ...

I recall reading about these. PIE was always working on ways to conquer the Rockies. That model is a not only a long nose, it's a tall boy!

Here's a load of 68's (I think).

**special-K** · 02-13-2018, 12:16 AM

I think you are correct. Nice picture, like a dream. I wonder if the rear HandiVan is a camper order. Is that a pinstripe on the red truck or a reflection?

*Peanutbutter* · 02-13-2018, 02:13 AM

WOW, that GMC tractor is a home run, that's a rare picture. Fine some more.

**special-K** · 02-13-2018, 08:23 AM

A couple kinda nice ones

pacarhauler · 02-13-2018, 09:01 AM

Find more???Most of the car carriers you see on the web originated on my Flickr page. That includes the ATC GMC seen above. Here's a better view of that Insured rig.

GMC; Insured #161 by Dick Copello, on Flickr

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-13-2018, 09:12 AM

More great pictures.

That Red GMC Conventional is an interesting shot.

Looks like it is only a 5000 though.

Probably has a 351 or 401.

pacarhauler · 02-13-2018, 09:21 AM

Here's another "Truckaway" load, this time I think 67's.

GMC Truckaway Corp #240D? by Dick Copello, on Flickr

C10 - C90 Bill · 02-13-2018, 09:24 AM

I believe you are right.

Also the Tractor itself is only a '66 or '67.

The emblem on the hood is a little hard to see, but it looks like it's a V-6 Gas or a Toro-Flow.

These Carhauler Pics are awesome. You get lots of Bang for your buck with the full loads and all. Thanks...

pacarhauler · 02-13-2018, 04:40 PM

About two months ago I uploaded about twenty photos of 47-54 Chev and GMC car carriers. I show some here but before I do,,,,here's a 36 or 37 Montpelier cab Chevy and semi enclosed W&K trailer. The same cabs were also used on Dodges before they made a COE in-house.
