    Thanks to all who served.Theres an old guy living not far from me who did 3 tours in Nam.Born in the US to Irish folk he enlisted because "it was the right thing to do"(his words) he doesnt talk much about his experances over there.He came to his folks hometown and worked as a truck driver for many years.He doesnt go out much but a few guys check in on him most days......

    Yeah my wild guess was just that.It does appear to be a Euclid.I just looked up a book I have of mine trucks and theres a picture of a Euclid dump truck thats exactly the same as the one in the first post.Cab air tanks fuel tank and grill/bumper all match.....twin engine driving one axle each.Offered with Detroit 6/110 or Cummins 335.Sweet machine...

    I read a piece on DART a while back and the picture sparked an idea it was one.They made some monster trucks over the years.Are they still in operation as part of Kenworth?? Paul

    Wild guess based on pictures I saw recently...DART...Think they made dump trucks that looked like that....As I said its a wild guess..They were part of Kenworth at some point... Paul

    Are you sure that guy wasnt from Dublin Ireland Geoff??? Amost everything a "Dub" ( thats what theyre called over here) is prefaced with the word "bleeding"... Me bleeding car broke down..me bleeding wife was giving me bleeding ear ache I went the bleeding football......🤣... Paul

    Have to agree with Geoff on this one.I hauled end dumps for a few years and it really depended on who was loading the product.Best ride was got by loading from the rear tapering off towards the front to spread the weight evenly.Also the "mound" should be as close to the centre line of the trailer as possible.If its to one side even slightly the truck rode like a buckin bronto.Having the load centered on the trailer also made tipping much safer...
