How about those cowl lamps on that Rainier? You can light them from inside!

Oooohhhh yyeeaahhhh........ It sure is. Love that thing! So classy. Just envision the hiways of the '50s with the modern concrete turnpikes/cloverleafs/overpasses, 2-lanes with the motels/diners/service stations, and all those '50s-prior cars. Now stick some rigs like this in there, along with the others. Man what a picture! Then picture the '60s because most of those good old trucks were still out runnin'

Me and the coffee club went four wheeler riding Thursday and ran onto this sitting by the road. I still have a W900 A I started on several years ago, that got pushed aside. This one lite my fire.

Although I never drove one, I always found those Dodge trucks interesting. Really like how you can get to the engine compartment on that single axle. Although there is nothing like a tilt front end like the tandem has.

streetrodchev · 06-11-2017, 09:58 AM

The 800 swing fender has a Cat V8 and the Big Horn 950 (only 261 ever made) has a Cummins and 13 speed.

I like these trucks with production cabs same as pickups.At our Tri-State show there is a feller who brings like 8 of those. Nothing special but a wide variety of builds. One he has is a tandem jet fuel tanker with exhaust run along the front bumper. A couple other "beautiful" Dodges to look at

**special-K** · 07-15-2017, 06:18 AM

More Dodges. The white cab and chassis on the trailer behind the Bighorn is an new never registered truck:

Average Joe · 07-15-2017, 03:20 PM

Cool pics! I had never seen a true coe Dodge before. Thanks for posting those up!!

**elpound** · 07-15-2017, 05:33 PM

Special K
That first dodge truck sure looks similar to a Mack! I have never seen one like that before. Looks pretty cool. I'll have to forward it to my buddy who is into dodges. He possibly is going to trade for one like the second pic.

48cj2a · 07-16-2017, 02:51 AM

Does anyone know of good sites that show the old trailers when the corners were rounded and not a square brick like they are today?

KQQL IT · 07-16-2017, 09:58 PM

Truckin for kids last year.

The old truck guys search high and low for those old trailers. It seems there are more trucks than trailers survived. I don't know of any trailer-specific groups (but probably out there), but the in old truck owner circles is where you will find the trailers. I see them for sale at the shows and in the publications. I get magazines from ATHS (Wheels of Time) and ATCA (Double Clutch) with free classifieds in the back. Hank's Truck Pictures is where ou'll find the most old rig pictures.

**special-K** · 08-10-2017, 08:48 AM

I agree on the needle noses. A look that makes you stop what your doing to get all you can of it. You know one is coming at you as soon as it becomes more than a speck.

**special-K** · 08-12-2017, 08:17 AM

What? I posted w/o showing a picture? Slippin' up!
