Popular Post raybing Posted August 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2019 Traveling back to Minnesota this summer. We parked in a lot with this White road tractor sitting behind a trucking company. It must be very rare. I'm guessing 1948? Does anyone know about it?

h67st Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Neat truck! It looks plenty old, I agree that it's probably 1940's. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/58485-white-diesel-in-montana/#findComment-429527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 With the horizontal grille louvers, I will say around 1951 White WC26. Not versed in engines for White Trucks but in that era, the Cummins 743 diesel engine was available. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

james j neiweem Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yes agree with the 743. WC 28 for runner of the White 4000/9000 coup cab. Did Cummins also have a 672 cu in diesel?

Cummins had an H model diesel with a couple variations (H-135, H-6, HS-6) that featured a base CID of 672. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Freightrain Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Didn't they make a 150 Cummins? 170, 190? Before they turbo charged them. NHBxxx? The supercharged version was NHRSxxx?

tjc transport Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 if i remember correctly the 150 and 170 HP engines were "H" models we had a 190 HP in the old 60's dodge grain truck when i was on the farm. my friend still has it, but only uses it on site and does not take it out on the road anymore.

MHfred Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 With the wipers above the windshield it is prior to 52/53. Is it a WC 26 or 28? It looks like a 26 to me. Where in Montana is it? That is sure a neat old truck. Thanks for posting.

waukesha Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 That is a great looking truck and it seems like it has survived well. That flattened grille was part of what White called the "Bridge Formula" style front end. It debuted around 1951 I think. Period advertisements say that this front end allows for the distance from the front of the bumper to the center of the forward axle to be reduced to 28 inches. I know of only 4 or 5 other trucks that have made it to recent times that had the headlights mounted on those plates. For trucks with the flattened grille, I think White started mounting the headlights on the fenders around 1953. So I'm guessing that this truck is from '51 or '52, but I could be wrong. I can't make out the name on the door, but I do think I see a cat inside peering out a window . Whatever size that Cummins is, it has a two-valve head because the intake and exhaust manifolds are on the same side. If it is 743 CID, it would be an HR rather than an H. Was this truck for sale?

raybing Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 Im still trying to find the owner. It is sitting in a commercial lot in eastern Mt. No name on the building. Can anyone decipher the transmission codes? It has a 2speed rear axle.

HeavyGunner Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Well as small of a town as that White is located in you could call any business in that town and I’d be willing to bet someone would help out with the name of the owner or business that it sits at.
