That slippery for when wet or Snowy is there for a reason the professors at the trucking University I attended said if we ever come across it on a older truck not to use it but I did encounter it in a older truck and it was raining I moved it to the wet position then when it quit raining I flipped it back to normal it’s for safety you don’t need the steers locking up on you
You better buy it that is a beautiful truck single screw buy it I almost bought a tandem 1967 9000 250 natural breather cummins 10spd RR she’s a beauty Mike
Hauled a lot of tomatoes on the farm with a 1968 White 9000 . Hauled 5-8 loads a day for over a month . I had installed a radio on the dash , within 2 weeks it was shaken to its death .
Our fire department had one with a 3000 gallon tank on it, used as a water tender. No front brakes, originally not power steering. Air assist was added to the steering. Worked great, unless you used the air horn too much, approaching the intersection near the station, then you lost assist. Cummins with a Fuller 10 speed.
I believe that black knob under the dash on the right of the steering wheel is a compression release , comes in very handy in the winter when the batteries are low , get it spinning and let her pop we had 9000's but tandems , 10 speed and 250 hp , much cleaner engine than our old 220 hp engines good luck great find !
I thought I was watching an episode of Vice Grip Garage for a minute. Seriously though, remember this. Old trucks are much easier to play with and restore. Its all mechanical, no computers. Hell if you wanted to get a ten speed in it,it would probably bolt right up. Same with an modern air ride rear suspension out of a clapped out Freightliner or whatever.
Mike. Look what you have done with your channel, I still remember the first time I watched one of your videos while researching a Mack. I was like "who is this guy" now I am hooked. Just look at your grin, you WILL make it work. As others have said, reach out and I think you'll be surprised at how many would love to contribute with parts, time or money. GO FUND ME WHITE TRUCK. With all your years in trucking, you deserve your own!
A good ol school radiator shop will cook out dirty fuel tanks or some private tanker wash out shops will acid bath and steam them. Cheaper than building aluminum tanks and more authentic. Cool truck for sure.
I can't believe how solid that is, or appears to be ? Must have been garage kept. If you don't have floors, cab corners or the roof to repair or replace you're in good shape starting out. Your heart will tell you what you should do. I'm surprised it doesn't have a Fuller 10 roadranger though.
I owned a 63 for a while. 220 Cummins 10 speed. Round steel fenders. Unfortunately she was too far gone to save and we traded it for another project. It was great fun to play with. All red (except for the rust!!!). And on Chicago wobblers too. I’m glad we are not closer to you or that one might follow me home! Thanks for another great video!
It's me again ! I forgot to mention that I bought that B67 from Boston and Taunton Express after they merged with Perkins and started running the Louisville Fords. Paid $1500 for it !!
Rode on a kitchen stool behind the shifter between dad and an uncle on trips in a 9000 as a kid to fetch coal during the coal mine strikes to non union mines as a lil kid. Back in the 70's I don't think anyone ever thought about safety. Can remember hitting sky jumps ( big pot holes in the road ) and dad or my uncle would catch me and toss me back onto to the kitchen stepping stool again. Man those were some funnest times. Would get back home from a trip and look like a kid who had been a victim of a child abuse from all the bruises and knots , but would have a Kool story for each one of them. Oh yeah those non union coal mines they were like something from the 1800's. All that old equipment working. Between getting burned out on dealing with customers, I was a machinist when I grew up, so machery always fascinated me. Then I'd drive a while to get away from customers.
When I was a kid in the 70s there was a lot of these trucks running around, but I didn't really like them. Now that I'm older, and haven't seen them in decades I find them to be really cool. That one looks awesome. If I had the money I would buy it.
I worked for a farmer in the early 80’s who had a truck like this. It was dark blue and same hood. Old redi-mix truck, twin screw and two transmissions. Had a feed wagon mounted on it and I drove it to a remote feedlot every day I worked to feed around 150 fat cattle. That’s a nice truck! Very nice! Straight sheet metal. The one I was referring to I’m telling you was beat before I ever used it. Hood was bungee strapped on both sides and rattled like crazy. Transmission took awhile to learn. I stopped many times at first and had to start over because I couldn’t get it into any gear. I hated it then grew to love it. I hope you buy it because you very obviously appreciate it
I learned how to drive truck on my father's 1966 White 4000, it was a tandem drive on a rubber suspension. 250 Cummins with a 4 speed main and 4 aux. Hot as hell in the summer and cold in the winter.
Nice looking White. I drove one just like it back in the 70’s when the W9000 was in the shop for a week. That front brake limiting valve cuts the front brakes back to 50%. Some trucks didn’t even come with front brakes back then
@@dennisternent2974 was pretty common in the day, I heard some trucks were produced up to very recently with out them.....it really wasn't necessary like alot of people thing, but it was the other hassles that made it easier to not have it
Your like a kid in a candy store , smilin ear to ear ❤😎 get it and fix it up little by little or just leave it in the garage to look at to make yourself smile and turn back time brother , I wish I had something that did that ! 😎
Oh Man Mike! That brought me right back to early ‘70s when I was just learning how! No 10 speed Fuller. You’d look good in it! I saw that seat and thought, one step above sitting on a park bench! Lol ! Thanks for the memories!
when i was learning how to back up trucks.(mid 80s)the yard truck was an old green smith freight tractor like that.it was a 6 71 detroit with a 10 speed though.im glad i learned to back trucks without power steering.drove a manual steering truck first 12 years of my career.when you spent 11 or so hours in them trucks, you were tired when you were done.if you ran over a dime, you could damn near tell if it was heads or tails.you felt EVERY bump in the road.
Great video , I learned to drive a White 9000 with a 10 speed road ranger , I was 16 when my in-law was driving for Grand Union out of Mt Kisco NY. They had a whole fleet of 9000 probably 150 in the yard we would get on 684 and head up to 84 into Danbury CT . He would pull over and I’d get behind the wheel , legs shaking but I learned to drive that baby and the rest of the summer we would go overnite produce runs and I’d get to drive I love those old whites the smell of the diesel and the excitement has stayed with me for 49 yrs. They also had a ware house in Carlstat NJ. The company closed up in the early 90s and they shut down Mt Kisco. That rig sure looks like it could have been a GU truck they were also red , I wish I knew where 300-400 trucks ended up I never really got to see any more around after they closed. But the video was very enjoyable to watch. They also had the old Mickey Mouse clocks with the paper disc to track the engine movement I’d buy one but my wife would shoot me. Thanks for all the good videos.
Hi Mike. In the mid 70s I worked at a dairy farm in NM . I drove a truck similar to this one . Only difference is it had the twin stick transmission set up , and tandem axles. Hope you buy this one !
Unbelievable! That was my first truck with a 250 Cummins, no turbo, and a 10 speed. It was a tractor and I put a dump box on it. This was the truck my Superliner replaced. My truck was painted yellow with a red frame…thanks for the memories. The first place I worked in NJ started hauling there hauling business in 1902 with horse and wagon. There trucks were painted red with yellow frames.
Hello Boston trucker thanks for video of the old school white 9000. Cumming. Engine sound original great👍 your definitely a old school trucker Mr.teddy knows all about old school trucks.🚛👈👍
Buy it MIKE YOU WILL LOVE ❤️ IT AND WORKIN ON EM IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH NOT SO MUCH YOUR $$put a brownie box behind the 5speed ron rdzl mack man retired
I worked for Wooster Express and drove one of these. We had B Mack's and Whites. The traded the B-Mack's in for the Mack U models when they came out. Boy was the weird driving those U-Models.
Were you in Bridgwater, on old plymouth Street? I grew up about a half mile up the street from that garage, if you were. Great times! Great video Mike!
i was in a family business, we had four old White road tractors. One was a 1967 white 4000 it was a longer nose. It had same battery boxes, one on each side ahead of fuel tanks behind front fender. it was tandem drive 855 cubic inch 250 horsepower cummins two stick 4 & 4 trans. It even had power assist steering.
I agree 100%! I enjoy watching all Mike's videos and I think a build series would be a great addition to his channel. Plus companies may even reach out to offer free service and/or free parts in exchange for advertisement which would offset the cost and may make it a little more affordable. In theory anyway.
Buenas noches Don Boston truker le saluda Rene Solorzano de Ecuador muchas felicitaciones por los videos son muy ilustrativos y muy excelentes yo lo admiro mucho yo soy camionero en mi país Ecuador tengo 65 años y transporto banano de las haciendas al puerto de Guayaquil Ecuador un gran abrazo a la distancia y muchas bendiciones ha tiene unos hermosos carros
I know that the old trucks are alot easier to work on than these new ones. I'm sure there are some ole school wrenchbenders in your neck of the woods that can teach you what ya need to know..
Mike those are the period Correct factory fuel tanks on the truck! My 71 White 9000 rubbish truck had the exact same tanks! I believe if you look at the one at George’s garage in Avon has the same tanks!
i was taught how to drive in one of those i was 14 they showed me first and reverse and the release of the air brakes it had a forty two foot flat bed and was told where they want the trailer and walked away leaveing me to figure it out that was the start of a 38 year career of driving trucks
You've gotta buy that truck Mike. You'll regret it if you don't. I've put ALOT of money into my international and I'm 24 years old and bought my first house a few months back. Everything is doable. It's not a race it's a marathon. Just tackle the important stuff first. Best of luck Mike!
I've been watching your channel for quite a while and commented I think once or twice before. That memorial run you went on a couple of weeks ago for "Tippy-Toes" ? Well, I knew him, and he owned and ran a White tractor back in the 60's. Not sure if it was a 9000 or 4000, but he pulled tanker for Roy Bros. out of Billerica. He used to work on it at Miller Disposal's garage in Bedford, Ma., and that used to be next door to the Taylor and Lloyd International dealership that's still in operation today I believe. I was watching you latest truck show video, and there was a '71 Brockway tractor you were showing. The first truck larger than an F750 Ford dump that I ever drove was a '71 Brockway 361 10 wheel dump truck. That truck was owned by my friend Joe Sullivan, and he had bought it from Paul Lloyd, the brother of Eddie Lloyd of Taylor and Lloyd. You might know of Joe, as he ownes J.W. Sullivan Corp. in Billerica and does service station underground storage tank replacements and total upgrades of all the pumps, piping, islands, etc.. He used to rent a bay from the guy your current work truck came from. That's right, when I was working for Joe, driving that Brockway and his R600 Mack with either dump trailer or old Schertzer lowbed, Billy French was in his teens working for his dad, Bill senior, and had just started driving 10 wheeler !! French is still on that property today, but has expanded immensely !! Oh, a pretty cool thing about the Brockway that you might not know ? Those front fenders hinged at the front, and by loosening a bolt back by the cowl, they'd swing out forward, allowing you to step right in around the front wheel just like you do with a tilt nose !!! MUCH easier than going in through the butterfly hood, which of course it had as well. Ok, just wanted to share that with you. One more tidbit---- the first truck I ever went out on the road with in '78 was a '65 Mack B67 single axle with a 711 and a dupex !! Non-turbo, 62 MPH everywhere !!!
Hey Mike. As they say,nothing ventured nothing gained. You checked it out with Teddy so you know what 's what. I trust your judgment. All in all it must have been a thrill when that engine fired up. I know it was for me and I wasn't even there. There may be another opportunity in the future. My experience is timing is everything. Definitely do not want to force it. Many thanks for inviting us all to come along. Very cool truck for sure.
Drove quite a few of those 9000s some had 10 speeds and some had 15 speeds drove one like that with a custom torque 240 5 speed and they pulled pretty good 👍
That looks like a great one to get your feet wet with. While I understand tanks are daunting, original photos and some measurements off the truck should be able to yield you a pretty exact copy just without the risk of pin holes, crud in the tank, and well it's good right now but how long are they going to last. Fuel lines are no big deal. Few hundred dollars (i put all new on my 359 for around 350.00) and that White is about half the length of my Pete so maybe even cheaper. I say go for it Mr Mike! You can always resell it.
Should of bought it…I’ll buy! That’s a pretty cherry old single axle, perfect for going to truck shows and parades, but you posted the info quick and I’m sure I missed it, I’m actually looking for a old needle nose pete, that’s what we run down here, one day maybe I’ll find it, great video as always!
Talking about White trucks, my brother and I took a job in Winston Salem NC one time back in 1983 or 84 with a company called hutchens trucking company I believe it was. An old retired freight hauler started the company, well he ran all 48 so we embarked on a 7500 mile adventure in a cab over white road commode that if it weren't for duck tape it would never taken place. No air nothing, 44 Rockwell susp 10 speed 300 Cummins that was so slow at times I would walk along beside of it to stretch my legs. From Winston-Salem we went to Wilmington NC an loaded for somewhere in Vermont then loaded an lit out for Los Angeles and by the time we got to Louisiana everything was in the floor an we had to tarp it to the floor to keep cb an all from jumping out into the road an by then we were ready to fight each other but neither one could get our eye balls to quit jumping. Ive driven many trucks but we took a beating that I never forgot. Thank goodness someone left the duck tape in the truck to put our bodies back together. We decided to seek employment elsewhere when we finally got home. We made it to LA earlier and laid over to mend. We had a big party at the motel and I grilled 15 chickens an one girl took a beaten from another so it was just another day on the farm. Every word I said is true. Wow. Roughest ride I ever took.
Great video Mike. I think you would get a lot of enjoyment out of that truck. As for the tanks, I would give Alumitank in Illinois a call. I think they would build you a custom aluminum tank just not sure they would paint it. Don't know what your budget is but just remember you don't need both tanks to hold fuel in order to have it get you to a truck show. Don't let those kinds of things discourage you. You'll find plenty of resources and help. Just depends how much adventure you're up for.
That's a cool looking truck, i imagine you had lots of flashbacks seen it. I own two rx7 and they are getting expensive to keep up, can't imagen how much is to keep up an old truck from 60s.
Had a 73 white with a cummins ranger 10 speed and the air starter old beast great truck
Also forgot to mention. Cut an end cap off clean and coat weld back on and grind it smooth. My son does them. It’s a lot !! Cheaper.
Good stuff!
Stand on the fender to open hood
We had a piece of diamond plate on the fenders to open hood
That’s a real truck
Make sure the E L D works !
That slippery for when wet or Snowy is there for a reason the professors at the trucking University I attended said if we ever come across it on a older truck not to use it but I did encounter it in a older truck and it was raining I moved it to the wet position then when it quit raining I flipped it back to normal it’s for safety you don’t need the steers locking up on you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of it.
great looking truck!!!!
We agree!
Sweet ride Mike!!
Definitely
It is a Great feeling hearing a Truck start after sitting Bringing Back To Life
You better buy it that is a beautiful truck single screw buy it I almost bought a tandem 1967 9000 250 natural breather cummins 10spd RR she’s a beauty Mike
Hauled a lot of tomatoes on the farm with a 1968 White 9000 . Hauled 5-8 loads a day for over a month .
I had installed a radio on the dash , within 2 weeks it was shaken to its death .
Spent some time in Boston over July...beautiful city, great people...we really loved hanging out in the North End!
Love the North End!
They took good care of it

Thank you Jeff I appreciate you subbing. I started this channel in 2009 so you've got plenty of videos to catch up on if you like.
Our fire department had one with a 3000 gallon tank on it, used as a water tender. No front brakes, originally not power steering. Air assist was added to the steering. Worked great, unless you used the air horn too much, approaching the intersection near the station, then you lost assist. Cummins with a Fuller 10 speed.
I believe that black knob under the dash on the right of the steering wheel is a compression release , comes in very handy in the winter when the batteries are low , get it spinning and let her pop we had 9000's but tandems , 10 speed and 250 hp , much cleaner engine than our old 220 hp engines good luck great find !
You can hear when they start the truck their using it as it's spinning over fast.
Nice truck. I drove a 72 White 4000,6-71 Detroit and 10 speed Roadranger single axel pulling atilt deck lowboy.
I absolutely love the roar of those old Cummins diesels ain’t nothing like it
I drove a 1971 with a 230 Cummins in 1981 for my brother in law! Had a 10 speed road ranger!!!
Absolutely beautiful 9000 white blown away by the condition of the truck.
Drove one similar to it pulled a 30' spread with 24 end dump bed ,220 cumalong 5&3 coal and firebrick clay ,

that sure brings back memories!
Does it?👍
Sharp looking old girl, I had one in the early 80s. Ours has a 230 Cummins in it. Neat to see. I hope you buy it.
I remember those trucks in Waterbury CT,when I was a kid ,They had a 220 hummin Cummins with a 10 speed

I drove Associated we had about 300 hundred 9000 whites used them both in the city , road loved those donkeys
You gotta buy it so I don’t have to! I look forward to seeing you at the truck show at the Bolton Fairgrounds with this rig next year!
That truck would look good with that short dump trailer you have on your last video you would be up town then
Wow she's clean, for sure!
Buy it! Nice clean old truck. Clean the fuel tanks find a 10 speed and change it out.

I had Alumitank custom build 2 new fuel tanks for my International. Polished, new fuel caps and vents. Right around $3,500 150gal tanks
I know that the old trucks are alot easier to work on than these new ones. I'm sure there are some ole school wrenchbenders in your neck of the woods that can teach you what ya need to know..
The old white has the same shift pattern as my 1963 Kiaser jeep M51, bery cool.
I sat on my uncle’s Craftsman toolbox. Yes, it had a handle on top. Ouch.
Wow what a beautiful rig man
Mike those are the period Correct factory fuel tanks on the truck! My 71 White 9000 rubbish truck had the exact same tanks! I believe if you look at the one at George’s garage in Avon has the same tanks!
Let's put it this way happy wife happy life You know what's up
i was taught how to drive in one of those i was 14 they showed me first and reverse and the release of the air brakes it had a forty two foot flat bed and was told where they want the trailer and walked away leaveing me to figure it out that was the start of a 38 year career of driving trucks
You've gotta buy that truck Mike. You'll regret it if you don't. I've put ALOT of money into my international and I'm 24 years old and bought my first house a few months back. Everything is doable. It's not a race it's a marathon. Just tackle the important stuff first. Best of luck Mike!
I've been watching your channel for quite a while and commented I think once or twice before. That memorial run you went on a couple of weeks ago for "Tippy-Toes" ? Well, I knew him, and he owned and ran a White tractor back in the 60's. Not sure if it was a 9000 or 4000, but he pulled tanker for Roy Bros. out of Billerica. He used to work on it at Miller Disposal's garage in Bedford, Ma., and that used to be next door to the Taylor and Lloyd International dealership that's still in operation today I believe. I was watching you latest truck show video, and there was a '71 Brockway tractor you were showing. The first truck larger than an F750 Ford dump that I ever drove was a '71 Brockway 361 10 wheel dump truck. That truck was owned by my friend Joe Sullivan, and he had bought it from Paul Lloyd, the brother of Eddie Lloyd of Taylor and Lloyd. You might know of Joe, as he ownes J.W. Sullivan Corp. in Billerica and does service station underground storage tank replacements and total upgrades of all the pumps, piping, islands, etc.. He used to rent a bay from the guy your current work truck came from. That's right, when I was working for Joe, driving that Brockway and his R600 Mack with either dump trailer or old Schertzer lowbed, Billy French was in his teens working for his dad, Bill senior, and had just started driving 10 wheeler !! French is still on that property today, but has expanded immensely !! Oh, a pretty cool thing about the Brockway that you might not know ? Those front fenders hinged at the front, and by loosening a bolt back by the cowl, they'd swing out forward, allowing you to step right in around the front wheel just like you do with a tilt nose !!! MUCH easier than going in through the butterfly hood, which of course it had as well. Ok, just wanted to share that with you. One more tidbit---- the first truck I ever went out on the road with in '78 was a '65 Mack B67 single axle with a 711 and a dupex !! Non-turbo, 62 MPH everywhere !!!
Hey Mike. As they say,nothing ventured nothing gained. You checked it out with Teddy so you know what 's what. I trust your judgment. All in all it must have been a thrill when that engine fired up. I know it was for me and I wasn't even there. There may be another opportunity in the future. My experience is timing is everything. Definitely do not want to force it. Many thanks for inviting us all to come along. Very cool truck for sure.
Drove quite a few of those 9000s some had 10 speeds and some had 15 speeds drove one like that with a custom torque 240 5 speed and they pulled pretty good 👍
That looks like a great one to get your feet wet with. While I understand tanks are daunting, original photos and some measurements off the truck should be able to yield you a pretty exact copy just without the risk of pin holes, crud in the tank, and well it's good right now but how long are they going to last. Fuel lines are no big deal. Few hundred dollars (i put all new on my 359 for around 350.00) and that White is about half the length of my Pete so maybe even cheaper. I say go for it Mr Mike! You can always resell it.
Should of bought it…I’ll buy! That’s a pretty cherry old single axle, perfect for going to truck shows and parades, but you posted the info quick and I’m sure I missed it, I’m actually looking for a old needle nose pete, that’s what we run down here, one day maybe I’ll find it, great video as always!
Great video Mike. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had a couple pockets full of cash.
Thank you 😊
Whether you buy it or not I'm excited for you bro. The passion and the look in your face lol. Great video Mike.
Talking about White trucks, my brother and I took a job in Winston Salem NC one time back in 1983 or 84 with a company called hutchens trucking company I believe it was. An old retired freight hauler started the company, well he ran all 48 so we embarked on a 7500 mile adventure in a cab over white road commode that if it weren't for duck tape it would never taken place. No air nothing, 44 Rockwell susp 10 speed 300 Cummins that was so slow at times I would walk along beside of it to stretch my legs. From Winston-Salem we went to Wilmington NC an loaded for somewhere in Vermont then loaded an lit out for Los Angeles and by the time we got to Louisiana everything was in the floor an we had to tarp it to the floor to keep cb an all from jumping out into the road an by then we were ready to fight each other but neither one could get our eye balls to quit jumping. Ive driven many trucks but we took a beating that I never forgot. Thank goodness someone left the duck tape in the truck to put our bodies back together. We decided to seek employment elsewhere when we finally got home. We made it to LA earlier and laid over to mend. We had a big party at the motel and I grilled 15 chickens an one girl took a beaten from another so it was just another day on the farm. Every word I said is true. Wow. Roughest ride I ever took.
Boy, it sounded good! That would look cool in a Christmas parade pullin' a float for your kids' school or something. 😆 Very cool truck!
Thanks pal.
I used to ride on a milk crate in my old man's U model....
Bendiciones para ti y para toda tu familia y tu trabajo excelente video hermano
You need to buy it!
Pull that handle out down below crank it and then let go of the handle on cold days to start
Great video Mike. I think you would get a lot of enjoyment out of that truck. As for the tanks, I would give Alumitank in Illinois a call. I think they would build you a custom aluminum tank just not sure they would paint it. Don't know what your budget is but just remember you don't need both tanks to hold fuel in order to have it get you to a truck show. Don't let those kinds of things discourage you. You'll find plenty of resources and help. Just depends how much adventure you're up for.
Was just going to mention Alumitank, good people, and just west of me!
Would look great hitched to that single-wheel dump trailer in recent vid. 5 speed tho' gonna need a bigger lunch pail!
That's a cool looking truck, i imagine you had lots of flashbacks seen it. I own two rx7 and they are getting expensive to keep up, can't imagen how much is to keep up an old truck from 60s.
Wow that's amazing Mike you need this rig so bad I can taste it from Michigan 😜🤪 please please please buy it driv,ah
