Does anybody on JOT have experience of Velvet Ride suspension? Don't know of any White trucks with it in New Zealand-may have been some in Australia.
Hamish, In the winter of 69-70 I drove a White 4000, 250 Cummins, 10 sp RR, with velvet ride, air ride seat, hauling petroleum from Syracuse NY to the St. Lawrence river valley. I cannot say much about the ride as I came out of a '65 coupe cab 4000 with a solid seat. The one thing that did impress me was that with the rears locked it would go thru snow almost up to the headlights.. NO Wheel Hop!!!!!!


Thanks Brocky.

Highland Coupe Cabs

I worked for white in the late 60s when the velvet ride came out.It had a 5 year waranty on it and i did not see any wear problem with it.Tri state in Joplin had many of them.
