dad vader Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The only thing I can tell you is Charlie's truck is a White/GMC and is around a 1984 to 1988/89 version.The controling assets where actually held by Volvo at the time. The company dropped the White name in 1989 and became Volvo-GMC and used that name until 2000/2001 then adapted its current name of Volvo Trucks North America(VTNA) This particular truck Could of had a Cummins NTC 855 or a 3406B caterpillar,or if it was the 88/89 modelyear,it may have had a Cummins 88NT or a 3406C PEEC cat engine. Prior to Volvo purchasing the assets of the White Motor company in 1981,white motor company had interests in alot of companys You may have heard of some. White Western Star,White Freightliner and Autocar,They also made the Boad Boss,and the Road Commander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plastic trucker Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 If it was a volvo White/GMC wouldn`t there be a GMC insegnia in the lower left hand corner of the grill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad vader Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 It seems my research had some of the info wrong,Here is some info directly from VTNA's site. http://www.volvotrucks.com/trucks/na/en-us/about_us/history/pages/history_ILF.aspx I still believe Charlies truck is a somewhere between an 84 to 88 model year. And the pictures of similar trucks I found pictures of had a White GMC nameplate right at the lower left corner of the cab,just in front of the door.
