1969 White 9000 walk around

Finally I made a walk around of the Little White. Already have done a bit of work to it since getting it into the yard. I’d like to have it running and driving by spring. I have several yard projects that I can use it for.

Is it still up there for sale

Had a bit older one, single axle tractor, 220 cummins 10 speed. It was a good reliable truck, but working on the engine was tight

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

Not a bad old truck.
I like the old White's.
They have some Sweet line's to them.
I personally would do some safety upgrade's.
Old blown 71 have a sweet sound that take's me back...

It will be gone through mechanically for sure. Going to be using it from time to time to haul dirt for different projects.

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.
