This is an old '62 White 4000 I believe, I haven't been able to find the model number. I bought it in 1988 to haul material for the construction of my home. Ran odd loads for a while too, but I parked it when DOT started doing roadside inspections. It has a Cummins HRF-6B non-turbo which as far as I've been able to research is 180hp, it has a knob in the dash to pull for decompression of the engine so the starter can spin it. Once it spins at speed, you release the rod and the engine fires. 10 speed Road Ranger with a T-rod going down to the tranny to shift high and low range and 10:00-20 rubber. I don't know the rear ratio, but the truck will go about 75mph. Manual steering, but the steering wheel is so big that if you're even just creeping it's not too hard to steer.
It will carry 8 to 10 yards of material easily and has plenty of power. I've climbed some of the mountains here dropping just a few gears with a full load. The thing is noisy as hell, there's absolutely NO insulation in the cab, it's a tin can and everything echoes. It's fun to drive, and still blows smoke when it's working. On my bucket list is to do a restoration one day, it's been sitting probably close to 20 years now.
