james j neiweem Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 How about some pictures and information on White motor corporation Trucks. In the day they were a big competitor of Mack, There were just as manyWhite 9000's around as B-61's. They made a lot of there own components. They were plentiful in the Midwest east and south. They may have outsoldMack for a few years. For such a large corporation there isn't much info on the net. They were large enough to buyout Sterling, Diamond-t Autocar,Reo and Euclid. I know Volvo wiped out there trucks. Did they wipe out their history also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I like the 9000's. Some Road Bosses would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Here's a Road Boss brochure from '73. I liked the brown padded interiors that were offered with many of the models that used this cab.http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_brochures/white/white_road_boss_1973/ Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DailyDiesel Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Here is a White 3000 tandem axle tanker that sat alone in the weeds for decades.Then someone found it with a excavator and smashed the hell out of it. They haven't even sold it for scrap, it's been sitting like this for months now. 1 Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jake Posted February 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2014 Here is a 1968 White 4000 that my son bought when he started his business back in 1998. It's a 220 Cummins with a 10 speed Roadranger. It's done a pile of work and he still has it. Now he only uses it occasionally off road. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHfred Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I am slowly restoring this 1954 WC 22. It has a six cylinder in line gasser. I picked up this used cab in NM in 2006. The original cab was rusted badly. i hope to have this at the 2015 show in York. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemac Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I grew up seeing a lot of 3000s on the road. They were ubiquitous. I really liked that style and it takes me back to my childhood whenever I see one at a show.Real shame about that one that was attacked by an excavator. Whoever did that should be tortured.

57 bcr Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes mackdaddy,the White Archives were donated by Volvo to the ATHS. From what I heard,it was either ATHS H.Q.'s or a dumpster! They (Volvo) really had "no use for them". I am not a huge White Truck fan,but come on,"no use for them?" The history!! I think there are on the upwards of 10,000 photos alone! A treasure, for sure!

Red Horse Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Here are a couple of shots of a 1966 4564 TD. NH-250 Cummins, RT-910 Roadranger and Whites Velvet Ride suspension. I think the rears were Rockwell 38,000 lb. I drove this truck out of Geneva NY. A few years later I was the terminal mgr in Rochester NY and the Geneva terminal was under me. One of the guys was headed to Phelps NY in same truck when some guy in an International straight job reefer came bouncing over RR tracks at a high rate of speed, lost control and nailed our guy head on. Driver smashed out rear window as both doors were jammed shut-you can see cab roof was hammered down. Engine compartment caught fire-close call. We had a lot of 4564 tandems and also ran a bunch of 9000 single axles. good trucks. And the Velvet Ride (patented name-Willets Suspension) was an exclusive with White but never caught on in industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Here is a White that I bought at Macungie last year. It is a 1964 4264 with a flat head gas engine. It has a winch. It is a very solid truck. I am the fourth owner, but it is still titled in the original owners name.
