Red Horse Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't believe I ever saw a Texaco corporate truck with the logo on the door- I believe small letter "Texaco" was about it and either the corp address or the division/region address. What is the history of that GMC ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maint1 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Don't know the complete history. It pulled a tanker, we put logos on the trucks as opposed to just being plain. Not sure if it is period correct or not. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck P Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Very nice setup. Is that the old Fred Craig GMC that used to be black? Good to see it's looking better than ever and hauling show trucks too.I found a Texaco tanker pic on the web. It had the logo on the door. 2 Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

maint1 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't know Chuck, it was painted ( really good quality paint) when we got it. The only thing we have done is decal, and I changed it from spokes on the steer to Budds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I always like the looks of the long hood 9500 GMCs, did Chevy make a version of the 9500. I know the Titan/90 but never saw a Chevy long nose conv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 yes they did,they were 90's instead of 9500's. I almost bought one at a friends estate sale,a few years back,it was a dump truck and pretty rough,scrapper wanted it more than I did,had a 8V71 in it.

b61mack Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 OK, nice looking Chevy I guess I cannot remember seeing one. Thanks for posting a picture of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chuck P Posted September 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2014 Here's a pic when Fred owned it. I used to see it at Macungie every year. The hood with the lower-set headlights was used for '72 and up until the General came out in '77. Bumper holes accomodated the deep radiator.The '72-76 Chevy MH90 was scarce even when new. Pic found on the web. 3 Quote "If it's all the sime to you... I'll droyve that tankah" Max Rockatansky (The Road Warrior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted September 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2014 I wonder what became of Fred Craig's GMCs? All these, and several more, were in Winchester in '06 or '07. The yellow one had the V12 gas engine in it. I'd like to have the D860 myself. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

bulldog man Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Some nice looking Jimmies .Makes me miss the 74' GMC 9500 Single axle Lowboy Tractor we had .Used to like to hear the 238 scream w/ a load on its back & esp going under an over pass & the belly blower exhaust of the 238 echoing against the wall .
