Starting up an old GMC General project truck under 40F degrees. It needed some help, but fired up and runs great!

In 2000 I drove a '86 Freightliner with a 8v-92 tt, I drove it just over a million miles, in 2007 it was taken out of regular service and restored and only runs a few times a year, i left in 2015 and it was there then.

Wow, I thought the Starcar was a cool old truck but this one is ultra cool. Those 475’s were big hammers back in the day. Can’t wait to see more of both trucks…

Just KZbin surfing and the old general caught my eye. I ran the short hood version with a 8V71 and was a torture. The dog house inside the cab gave limited room for my feet especially the accelerator pedal. The truck as worn out when I got it so I had to make the best of it. Later in. IH trans star I ran The 8V92 and it was a fantastic motor. Not only the bigger cylinders but the addition of a turbo made the motor a monster. I also ran a 6V92 in a brigadier dump with an Allison that was a rocket! Plus my first truck with float steers. I have clicked the subscriber button so I’m here for future projects. Thanks

in the later years, yes they are fiberglass. the early ones are steel and very prone to rust.
