There are so many trucks and cars laying around where I found this it is unbelievable. I will get some more pictures very soon...
Doors are there. They are laying on the other side of the truck. Motor is still in the truck as well and turns over.....
get that shit and re-build that o/g motor... thas an odd truck and must be kept with whatever original shit it has. thats hard shit to find
White was a very common truck for a long time. They were later bought by Volvo and then terminated in production. At some point I think maybe in the early 80's they were White Volvo GMC. fwiw
jesse jackson is going to follow you around protesting every time you take it for a drive you gonna name it cracka or honkey??
consolidated freight built em, called em white freight liners and started selling em to other companies with the tag "white", and consolidated freight turned to Freightliner the eventually dropped "white" then they got bought by Volvo. that's it in a nutshell. my gramps drove one when he was young hauled a tent for ol P.T Barnum.
This is about a 30-33 White. My grandfather has pictures when he used to drive one of these for a a lumber company that used to be here in town. He used to carry lumber into the mountains with it. Said he rode down the mountains MANY times with the drivers door popped open ready to bail out if the brakes failed on the damn thing. Scary as hell huh? He would love to see this picture. Yes GMC and White were merged together for quite sometime before Volvo bought them out. Would be a great truck to redo and make a serious car hauler!
Great old truck! White, <T>, Reo, Mack, Firstnationals were state of the art haulers. Don't be put off by those old inlines, they were torque makers. Lots of those rigs had 5th over trannys and 2 speed axles. Some had brownie boxes. I had a '40 D model International with a Blue Diamond 6 and 5 speed. It toped out about 55. It took little note of 3 tons of hay, a load of block,or the barn I tore down in Lodi and hauled over the Sierras,two trips. Well the top of Carson Pass was slow but I more than made up for it by the time I got to Woodfords! There are lots of old truck groups around to help you and trucks are performance vehicles. I love those wheels,they'd be easy to reverse Save it!
Let me start by saying... HUH?? What the fuck is an original gangster motor??? Geez.... Just because you have heard someone use a slang term does not mean you should attempt to use the same term yourself. The White looks cool. I hope you get it and do something cool with it. o/g nailheadroadster throws a "peace out" to ya, YO!!!
Actually, White was a brand on it's own, Freightliners came out as cabovers only, made by CF. Later the rights were bought by White-Autocar -Western Star. They were called White Freightliners until the Volvo corp bought out the companies and dropped the White brand in the late 80's early 90's. They replaced Autocar and white with GMC.-MIKE White was a car company in the 20's, also
While in the USAF stationed in NM, we had a few old Whites that were pulled out of storage and put back on line. That was in the 60's so the trucks were from the 40's I think. got them running in no time, and they pulled harder than the Internationals we were using, and didn't break down half as much! Good old trucks.
My dad was from Indiana. If I remember correctly, he told me they had a truck made by White, back in 30's that was chain drive. I still don't know exactly what he meant though. Anyone familiar with a truck like that? Tony
When my dad ran a shop at a grain elevator near Happy Texas there were two old brothers that farmed near there and hauled their grain in a chain drive Oldsmobile truck. I've never heard of another. It was '20s or early '30s. I remember the chain on one side was missing. Texas Panhandle no hills!
