You picture looks like Grandpa's old 6-71 machine. This is newer. What a buzzing rumble! I love it. Geared low to work, not just a highway machine.   [Reply]  [Send Email]

Maybe just a bit newer that this one. It is not turboed, just the GMC blower that makes them run. A turbo quiets them down and requires less of a muffler. This one has turbo mufflers. You can hear it climb the grade hauling his CAT D7 or big excavator machine over two miles away. So sweet, so smooth, yet what a ferocious growl! GMC Brigadier? Early eighties maybe?   [Reply]  [No Email]

I drove 2 different 9500's the first one had the 238 in it, now that was a sweet sound and the other one had the 318 in it. Just nothing compares to the sound of the two stroke Detroits. Sorta put my eye on that white cabover in the background, looks like a Crackerbox or maybe an Astro, you don't see either of them much anymore. I have seen in your posts that you live 100 miles south of KC, I live 100 miles south of St. Louis, just outside of Jackson. Well better get to bed got to go truckin' tonight.

I have driven 6-71 8-71 and 12-71. I dont mind the sound of an naturally aspirated cummins. But my favorite is the jimmy though even with all the oil leaks. I have heard people refer to them as hondas, and I feel kind of insulted when they say that.   [Reply]  [No Email]

GM used this same cab up to 1989 and good ones can still be found. just be sure to get one with the correct floor pan in it(unless you don't mind cutting and welding) By the way ever see one of these with a 12V71 in it? I was told they made a few of them. Good luck....Mike   [Reply]  [No Email]

I'd take a socket and a big breaker bar and see if the motor will turn over before making any offers. The frame rail is another story. Is it broke or rusted? Find a shop that does frame work on big trucks and they can prob. give you some idea of how much for a rail and having it drilled to match the old one. Be sure and ask about the cond. of the tranny and rear ends too. Good luck...Mike   [Reply]  [No Email]
