Joe Ditchkus Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Paul nice Dodge with the FWD front tin. I remember them in the 1970's when Jim Burns had them and some other car carriers. Low cab so they could put a full size pickup on headramp.All the ones I saw had a 6-71 Detroit and 10 speed Roadranger. Chuck P. Thanks for owners name of the White's. Joe D.

Phase 1 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I also understand that Dodge put the FWD nose for engine access, the tilt nose would not clear the over head auto rack. PaulThose were made before the tilt hood Bighorn was produced.Dodge C models were used - with the head rack supports placed inward so the fenders would swing.

vision386 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I never knew a sleeper version of that Dodge was even made! never saw one before. My local volunteer fire department in Jersey had a 54 Dodge fire engine (the chiefs truck) with a 392? Hemi in it..................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.

Chuck P Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 That stretch-nose on the '51-53 integral sleeper cab would suggest an big L-Head straight six under the hood. Dodge trucks wouldn't get the Hemi V8 until '54 when they switched to the "trapezoid" grille. I had to check in Dodge Trucks by Don Bunn book to verify.It's a shame it was scrapped as not many exist.

Joe Ditchkus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Mark That looks like an Orville Sleeper from Orville,Ohio. In the late 40's up to early 60'S they made sleeper cabs for most trucks. Truck manufacturer would send truck to them they would cut roof and widen cab. There was an article about them in Wheels of Time quite a few years back. I saw a F-8 Ford about 1952 with same sleeper which was about as the Dodge with one. Mack,Autocar,Brockway,Diamond T and Reo used them also. Their trademark was the side window I was told it was from a 1940 Ford. The town where I grew up had a 49,50 Dodge straight 6 413 cu.in. with twin aces and straight pipe. It sounded great. It was on those truck trading card about 15 years ago. Joe d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackman1965 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Was up in Mass today and saw this cracker box.IMG_2535.JPGThen was going down a street and saw these two. I hear the guy bought them new and NEVER used them. I'd love to get both to put behind our tractors. Throw Richards canvas's on them and they'd be awesome.IMG_2536.JPGWas up in Mass today and saw this cracker box.IMG_2535.JPGThen was going down a street and saw these two.

41chevy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The Dodge ran the big six until 55 or 56 when a Dodge Polysphere a Brownie box were swapped in and "speed holes" were added to the hood. A fairly typical mod in the early 50's to upgrade to a "modern" V-8. We had a few early 50's GMC tater trucks up graded from the 261 six to a 283 V-8. It was cheaper than a newer truck Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
