Re: GM Semis
I also had the same combo in both my '62 6500 and my '67 7500. It was unique as the nice thing about it is you could go through 9 gears and only have to downshift the rear twice.

Re: GM Semis
Nice looking Long Nose. If all original, looks like it's a '76.

Re: GM Semis
I recognize that 950 on the trailer. It was at an A.T.H.S. show in So. Cal. at the Orange Empire Railway Museum. It's all original and pretty solid too.

Re: GM Semis
very nice 950, driving lamps, 5-holes, spot lamp, bunk, and all.
That long nose is gor-gee-ous. I can't quite recognize that teal color as original color in the mid-70s. That's an interesting cab on the '40-ish COE. Is it a bunk, I guess? And would that big bass drum looking thing tucked in there be the fuel tank? I could spend the rest of they commenting on each picture. Thanks for them all! Miller time

Re: GM Semis
Maybe we could throw in the possibility of a 637 V8 toro flow? Interesting practically the exact same cubes as a 636 V8 CAT ( later known as a 3208).

Re: GM Semis
Not sure about the V-8 Toro-Flow, but in '66 and '67, the V-6 Toro-Flow got the old style Emblem like the earlier years had. My '67 7500 still had that type of Emblem still on it, even though it got converted to a 6V-53. I tried finding a V-8 Toro-Flow Emblem online, but the closest one I could find was a V-8 Magnum. Interesting though. Check out some of the different Emblems here at Jolly's site:

Re: GM Semis
Nice looking truck. The 6-110 is pretty rare.
Nice looking MH's above by the way.

Re: GM Semis
I was wandering around Flickr & found this 7-Up delivery truck. Rather new considering it's a Topkick.

Re: GM Semis
I liked those with the Cat 3208T. No fun to work on but smooth and quiet with a great turning radius.

Re: GM Semis
GMC wasn't the only one with this interesting concept, White Trucks called it a "giesel". This was a 470 cu in gas V8. One premium feature that the White engine had and the GMC gas engines did not have, was the "wet sleeve"

Re: GM Semis
Sadly no. The vast majority had Cat 3208's, and a few had Detroit 8.2T's. A very few had Cummins VT-225's, that was discussed here some years ago.

Re: GM Semis
That there was an idea that didn't pan out! The 'Giesel', sometimes called the 'Mustang VIII', was a small Cummins V-8 diesel modified to run on gasoline. It had lower compression pistons, spark plugs in the injector holes, and a Holley 2 bbl. carburetor. Needless to say it wasn't very efficient and sales were very low. I don't know if the engines were manufactured by Cummins or White. The Giesel was only around for a year or two.

Re: GM Semis
Doesn't seem to make much sense from the get-go. What made them think going back to gas was a good idea?
