It’s a mess, and that is how GE made it. In late 1976, GE introduced the Dash-7 line, which consisted of dozens of internal updates to its Universal series model range. The most obvious external changes are that all Dash-7 models have a wider section of the hood ahead of the radiators, and feature protruding wings for the radiator section.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the C36-7, other changes to the 4-axle Dash-7 were made incrementally. The six-axle Dash-7’s always retained the same wheelbase, while the four-axle models feature not one, but three wheelbases identified in three phases which apply to each model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn production by GE from 1977-1984,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left:24px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eB23-7: GE 12-cylinder FDL diesel engine rated at 2250 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eB30-7: GE 16-cylinder FDL diesel engine rated at 3000 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eB30-7A\/AB: GE 12-cylinder FDL diesel engine rated at 3000 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eB36-7: GE 7FDL 16-cylinder diesel engine rated at 3600, 3700 or later 3750 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:18px;color:#244b69\"\u003eIdentifying phase features of the B23-7 and B30-7:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:4px;color:#244b69\"\u003ePhase I:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left:24px;margin-top:5px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eOverall length of 62’ 2”, and truck centers of 36’2 2”.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eThese truck centers are the same as the predecessor universal models, but those had a shorter overall frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:4px;color:#244b69\"\u003ePhase II\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left:24px;margin-top:5px\"\u003e\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eSame 62’ 2” overall length but change to wider truck centers of 37’ 2” by shifting the rear truck backwards, eliminating the space between the stepwell and truck at the rear.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:4px;color:#244b69\"\u003ePhase III\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding-left:24px;margin-top:5px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eOur Dash-7 series in this release covers the Phase III models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eOverall length is a foot shorter – 61’ 2”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding-bottom:5px\"\u003eTruck centers 36’ 8”.
