james j neiweem Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I always liked the White 9000 coup cab. They were all over the place. They were a well thought out truck in the day. 92 in BBC, light weight, Cummins powered. I believe the 92 in BBC B-67 was Macks answer to this model. I think the B-67's engine leaned to the side for driver room. Did the Cummins powered White 9000 also lean over.

james j neiweem Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 The red one above is a 9000 with the large A-car cab. The coup cab was pre A-car cab. So I guess the engine did tilt to the passenger side in the coup cab. Makes sense. I wonder how many other trucks had tilted engines.

davehummell Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I owned and hauled with a white cabover that had a cummins tilted over. It had a air clutch peddle and I think the cab had a lot of fiberglass. I think it was a 1960 single axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 i ran a 69 white 9000 for 5 years pulling a low boy in the early 80's just like the one behindthebarn posted. 290 cummins with a 10 speed. the engine in that one was not tilted, but it was halfway into the cab Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

theakerstwo Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The 9000 was the one you could see the engine but your arms was not long enough to work on it. 2 Quote glenn akers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post harrybarbon Posted January 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2017 Have a look at this late Diamond T badged truck, made by White with same White 9000 cab, but it has the older style Diamond T fenders similar to the older White with the radiator shutters. Together with the Mack LTL this White/Diamond T combination has to be 1 of the smartest/classy trucks built - even today it looks like a modern truck 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the cab you're talking about?? a short story on a white like this one . about late 65 i took a single axle like this out to a job site alongside the potomac river in fairfax cty.va to move a front end loader back to the yard . road i had to use had a short really steep hill on it . the loader turned out to be a 977h cat` well loaded it up on4 axle t&t and headed back` got to the hill and the little jt160 cummins in the tractor would not pull that 77 up the hill had to unload the loader drive it to the top walk a mile or so back down and bring the truck up reload the loader and then coax the whole mess back about 18 miles the owner asked what the hell took you so long? little tractor only had an 8 spd roadranger I only got it into the high side once on the way back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Some of the short nosed (forget model #) Diamond T, REO and Diamond Reo's all had to 15 degree tilt Cummins 855s. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
