other dog Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I've taken a few drive-by pictures of this truck before, but today I stopped in Appomattox while on the way to Cumberland to see my parents and took a close look at it and took some pictures. Pretty nice looking truck, to be almost as old as I am. Don't know what engine it has, it was hard to see. Thought maybe a 220 Cummins, but it has a turbo on it. I don't know anything about it, who owns it, or what they want for it, just that i'd love to have it. I could drive the mixer in the parade, and Jo could drive the White. If she hit anything she'd certainly be the first one to get there,eh? Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Rob Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That would really turn some heads repainted.

theakerstwo Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 That would be a JT cummins with a R46 trans.The 220 cummins would have a radator stand up behind the cab with a drive shaft running along the top or the left frame rail from the acc drive pulley to the rear of the engine with belt drive pulleys at both ends.Most of them use a 5 speed and 2 speed axle.

vision386 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I always thought the 3000 White was an "interesting" truck,especially with the sleeper cab,back when i was still a household mover i had a friend who worked for a small family owned company up in north Jersey,Marshalls Moving & storage,they had two of them,plus an IH emeryville and several other classic trucks that worked everyday,they were washed/cleaned almost daily! i can tell you from first-hand experience,the insides of their trucks/trailers were nicer than some of the houses i have been in! a class act to be sure! sadly they went out many years ago,the old man that owned the company did'nt want to keep up with the current technology (cant say as i blame him) just got to be too much to handle............Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

David Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Was that chain the safety catch to keep the windshield from hitting the ground when you slammed on the brakes? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/18902-3000-white/#findComment-77072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Was that chain the safety catch to keep the windshield from hitting the ground when you slammed on the brakes? Yea David, I also believe it was the seatbelt. If the drivers face got too close to the windshield then the seat chain belt would allow just enough slak to keep the windshield from breaking his nose. I use to love the ole Whites of this model. Once saw in an early 60's Hot Rod Magazine this model someone had put a V-12 Allison behind the cab.

HK Trucking Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 When I was growing up in Stamford CT, the Hoffman Fuel co. had a whole fleet of those Whites with Tanks on them for home fuel delivery. Theirs had big 6 cylinder flathead gas motors in them..

rhasler Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I picked up the White Trucks 1900-1937 Photo Archive book not too long ago. They were some pretty classy looking trucks. The LaBatt's trucks were really something else! Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

james j neiweem Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 When I was growing up in Stamford CT, the Hoffman Fuel co. had a whole fleet of those Whites with Tanks on them for home fuel delivery. Theirs had big 6 cylinder flathead gas motors in them..Those white flathead gasers were the coolest sounding gas engines I ever heard. They had a really throaty ocilating sound when starting up from a dead stop with a full load. Sounded much better than the Mack gasers. The IH red dimond 450's were a close second. Spector freight out of the midwest had a whole heard ofWhite 3000's with Cummins diesels and the radiators in the back. The good old days when trucks sounded like trucks.
