Exiv96 ◊ 2019-02-19 21:10	Are the three axles visible somewhere ?
Truck_Guy ◊ 2019-02-19 23:26	No, why?
eLMeR ◊ 2019-12-26 04:36	@ Truck_Guy: because 64 would mean a 6x4 truck. So how can you be sure it's a 64? And what makes it a 1995 truck?

If it's a WhiteGMC it wouldn't be a 1995, as the WhiteGMC name was discontinued after 1994 according to the Volvo Trucks USA website. https://www.volvotrucks.us/about-volvo/history/ I believe the headlight bezels, as well as the black grille, were how I came up with the year (which we now know is incorrect ), but honestly, I don't remember and I didn't keep any notes about it. Literature is hard to come by for these trucks.
eLMeR ◊ 2019-12-26 23:17	As said in this GMC document (The First Century of GMC Truck History - Pdf): Quote 1995: On June 30th , the WHITEGMC nameplate was replaced by Volvo [...] → Trucks made between January 1st and June 29th are 1995 WhiteGMC models. About the headlamps bezels shown in brochures, it appears that square headlamps as well as rectangular ones were available from 1988 onwards, so I'm not sure that this should be seen as a pertinent clue. Beware of classified ad sites, they don't show all the models, and more, the model years are sometimes wrong...
