While getting a "fix" of looking at junkyard pics last night - thought the truckers might enjoy these pics.

It is an old Dodge with a stub-nose. I don't have a clue as to what year or particular model.
 
I do like those cab-overs. This is my "dream" truck. When I worked in the repair shop 40 years ago Carl had a C600 Ford with a Swartz roll-back. Mine is a 1970 model with 20 ft box.

rrlund,
You may not have had 18 wheels, but still makes you a "trucker" in my book. Glad you enjoyed.
 
nebraska cowman,
Really nice. I love the red, white and blue color theme on this one! That really is a long box.
 
Nice pictures again! The white Ford reminds me - I remember when they were brand spanking new. The ones I was around were asphalt haulers - tandems - and the drivers said you could pitch a cigarette out the drivers window and it would circle the cab and come back in the same window. I never saw it happen, but it was a standing joke among the drivers. The paving company must have had 20 of them. The red ones were gassers, the green ones were diesel. The red ones slowly disappeared over the years, but I still see an occasional green one in use. They've been re-packaged into slab haulers or water trucks, for jobsite use only. Thanks for posting the pictures.
 
Love the pictures. Spent some time driving one like #1. A little time in one like #3. And a lot of time in a #4. I like the old binders.
 
Hey Cowman - sharp looking truck!

We had a '71 with an 18 ft grain rack. Never owned another vehicle with such easy access to the engine! Aside from its thirst for gas it was a good old truck.

was in my early 20's, drove one like that also,, funny, while watching speed channel, seems that one looks like the one they are re-vamping..
 
I have an old Dodge stub nose like that sitting in my barn waiting for a restoration. The engine has been overhauled and that's about as far as I've made it. Engine is a 251 flathead. Took my first chauffers license test in an IH cabover like the first one. Jim
 
I bought it at a county highway dept. auction with a tar tanker on it. This was in the late 80's and it had about 3,000 miles and had never been titled. I was going to make a grain truck out of it. To tell the truth I had no idea what I would do with the tar covered tank til a guy came up and asked me what I was going to do with it. When I told him he said that he came to buy that truck for his driveway blacktopping business but he got there to late. He offered me what I paid for it plus another IH truck with no box that was actually nicer, so I took his offer.
 
Thank you for those pictures. I am so old that I remember lots of those styles on the road!.
That Dodge C O E is a very rare rig today. IIRC it mite be a 1948 or older. It would be nice to see that one 'saved' . clint
 
Oleclint,

You're welcome.

You, Nebraska Cowman and fixerupper all refer to the old Dodge as a "cabover". Is that because the cab sits about on top of/over the engine?

Not being familiar with trucking terminology, I always thought "cabover" meant one of those really big monsters with a tall cab that you could crawl up into a sleeping space above the cab. Learn somethin' new everyday...if one is paying attention.
 
Actually 1,3 and the last one are cab-overs. That is generally anything with no hood. The sleeper is always behind the driver, altho it sometimes goes quite a bit higher. The Dodge should be called a stub-nose, which is actually what they call my new truck since it has such a short nose and the engine goes into a "dog house" under the dash. I don't know why Dodge guys always call that one a cab-over when all the other brands call them stub-noses, but that is the way I've always heard it too. In my mind it is especially odd since it actually has a hood that opens where a cab-over the entire cab raises like the one in the last pic. No. 3 is actually a sleeper truck as the part behind the doors would have a small bed in it.
 
this was our first semi that we had to haul Case 4WD tractors. A 1966 IH Transtar/ 220 Cummins, ans 10spd RR tranny. It served us well. The second pic. was its replacement. Transtar Eagle/Detroit 318 10spd and rear air tag axle. Behind it is our Louisville LN9000 tilt bed with a 671, and 10spd RR tranny. Me, the wifey, and our 3 kids spent a lot of time in these trucks picking up and delivering tractors and equipment evenings and weekends. One of our shop techs. also spent a lot of hrs. in them during work hrs.

Loren ACG,

Great pics. Love the second one - the closeup of the truck.

What is the greatest distance you ever delivered a tractor or implement from your business?
 
Ya want another one ??? not as long wheel base but the cab is in real good shape . I think there is a problem in the clutch , but i myself have not checked into to it yet and it does have a hoist under the flat bed. I am guessing that the clutch problem is either the slave cyl. or the master cyl. worked on a bunch of them back in the late sixty's . The truck is located in N. E. Mo.
 
Ih went away from the load star and called the first one a cargostar. I bought a brand new one about 1962 or so. First ones were a dog. To tilt the hood you had to open the doors forward for counter weight. They also shifted a FIVE speed on the column, you can imagine how good that lasted. The second one I bought had hydraulic cab lift and shifted in the floor. Real funny thing was where the radiator was. Radiator was actually not there in front but back even with the seat. You actually sat in front of the engine. Little door right to the right of the driver seat could be opened to get to radiator cap. I have opened it lots of nights and could see the manifolds of that old 345 almost cherry red. Lots of first with that truck, cab was dipped in zinc no rust but paint peeled bad. Also front springs were 68 inches long , great ride but saged when loaded.
Guess I would like to have one to restore.
 
Thanks for sharing! I turned wrenches for a construction company,several years back,when I was in between plant maintenance jobs. They had alot of old iron like some of these,I really loved it,and became attached to those old trucks! Thanks again!
