Little big Dodge. Have you ever seen this special T?

Iplay4keepz · 11-02-2017, 12:10 PM

special-K..... I haven't stumbled upon that one yet! The "bed" on that looks awesome. Almost like a pipeliners truck bed. You wouldn't happen to have any more pictures would you?

The guys talked me into working today. They were a driver short.

WE had a good day, breaking ground on a new law enforcement center (jail).

I think I will stay retired.

I always liked the Chevy and GMC steel tilt cab. I thought the cab was more solid than the Ford C series, and the GM's had a much better gear shift. Some of the 1960-65 GMC versions had the 702 gas V-12 in them, and some were built with Toro-Flow's, Detroit 6V-53's, and 6V-71's. Legend has it a limited number of GMC tilts were even built with 8V-71's for auto transporter service. The Dodge 'L' series was a neat little truck, Dodge used the sheetmetal from their small van for the cab. Most all of them were gas powered, I think a few had small Cummins V-8's in them.

Check the GMC sign 😍

How would the tilt work on the car hauler? Love the hay wagon in from of the GMC Truck shop

Interesting question.

Being a Conventional fan, that is something that I never thought of, lol.

Typically the rack tilts up to accommodate the cab tilt if those even did. Some early pete and kw didn't tilt at all.

Came across this neat rig when looking for Case tractors...

That International is actually wicked from a street rod or full custom point of view. It's just to funky, meaning that in a good way. It has a chassis of formula 1 ability yet a big pilot house sitting up front not even trying to hide what it is. Good aerodynamics? Yeah right

. Does that matter? Heck no! I wonder about weight distribution balanced with the rear drivetrain, could be ok. But that cab didn't make it easy. Quite a piece.

I think it's beautiful, something that would really make for a good daily driver.

Love these 352 inset stack 2 axles

**special-K** · 11-14-2017, 07:36 AM

Thanks for Peterbilt air suspension! The COEs started disappearing and now they are back and many done really nicely.

So you like this one?

flashed · 11-14-2017, 07:47 AM

Very nice Rig.

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-14-2017, 11:02 AM

Just for an additional comment, the above two trucks are pretty cool, but I can't help to not notice that both do not have Head Boards. Check out the load that the first truck is carrying.

Both my Flat Bed Trucks had strong Steel Head Boards and I do not know how many times I was thankful for them, lol.

**special-K** · 11-14-2017, 11:13 AM

Yeah, I think they're a good idea. Nice to know at least something is there.

I like the paint on the first one. Here is a factory picture

KQQL IT · 11-14-2017, 06:36 PM

Mini coopers to go.

Mini Hatch/Hardtop, Clubman, Convertible, Coupe and Roadster are assembled at BMW's Plant Oxford in Cowley, England, and the Countryman and Paceman are assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria.
