That's a good question! From '66 to '68, GMC offered special 'Western' long-nose 9500's, the MH and MI 9501. 8V-71 or 6-71, Road Ranger or 5X4 transmissions, lots of light weight components including Alcoa wheels. Chrome Grover triple horns were an option, and most 9501's pictured in GMC ads and brochures (both photographs and drawings) show the triple horns. I can say over half of the 9501's that I have ever seen had triple horns. The 9501 model was discontinued in 1969, but all the individual 'Western' options continued to be available on MH-9500's.
