I love these old white motor company trucks almost bought a 67 tandem White 9000 tractor from a company in Buffalo NY a few years back 250 natural breather Cummins 10 spd road ranger box some family things came up there went the White but Family first
I wonder if your truck used to be a Lombard trucking company unit? They had a terminal in waterbury back in the 70's when I was a kid. Hard telling looks like it been painted a bunch of times, if it has any dark green it could be a clue. Good video.
Thanks for that idea. It does have dark green on the frame. The cab was originally a turquoise greenish color. , then it was red, now the white from what I can tell. I do see what looks like cream/tan on the hood that was maybe a two tone/stripe job too. I love finding the history on these old trucks. I’m sure this truck could tell a story or 100 haha
I worked on many of these 9000’s in the early to mid 70’s. Most had 903 Cummins V8’s. There wasn’t much room under there. You had to unbolt the cab mounts, and lift the cab up on the passenger side to remove the rocker cover. If you getting into it further you remove the hood and rad in short order. All those Whites where pretty sold. The Western Star had a few more comfort appointments, such as padded interior. Drove a few 4000’s and Stars. The Velvet Ride suspension sucked. About as bad as the Hendrickson Concrete Block suspension.
