Meet my 1969 White 9000 dump truck

People have been asking about the truck itself so I figured I’d do a complete walk around of the old girl. It’ll be a slow build but I’d like to someday make it a nice working truck. #trucking

When I was growing up I got to ride in a lot of these my Dad was a local semi driver when no one was around he would let me do some yard driving in the LO Range of course in 88 when I started truck driving school they had one of these for learning the dock spotting but it never left the yard we had much newer white Roas boss 2s for our on street training then later that summer when I entereď the industry all the old cool trucks seem to have dissapeard It was all Ford GMC I H

@@georgewilson1184 yes, it’s very sad today to see all the same bland Tupperware torpedoes going down the road. It’s funny to me that if I see a truck even from the 90’s it really stands out even though that’s not “old” to me. Thanks for the story.

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Looks like a pretty good truck to start with. Is that a Cummins engine? I love the old trucks & grew up around many of them. You plan on keeping it set up as a dump truck? It has good wheelbase. I’ve been looking at an old White wrecker that a friend owns. It’s finally up For Sale. Enjoy the ride my friend. Thanks for sharing! 🥰😎✌️

@@the.porter.productions thank you! Yes I specifically got it because I wanted a dump truck so it’ll stay a dump truck. It’s a 6-71 Detroit diesel. I also specifically wanted Detroit power so this truck really checked all the boxes except I really wanted a twin stick transmission but just couldn’t find one.
