cruiseliner64 Posted yesterday at 12:32 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:32 PM (edited) 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...

Geoff Weeks Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:12 PM Really not enough to ID on. Cab may be a KW or Chicago Mfg cab. Unit Rig, KW, Dart, Pacific or even IHC (Payloader). IF forced at gun point, I'd go with KW on the cab shape alone. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76518-can-anyone-identify-the-manufacturer-of-this-prime-mover/#findComment-593624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM lol I would have guessed kenworth also but not the cab but the shape of the very front of the nose .. grille and surrounding area… what a monster 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76518-can-anyone-identify-the-manufacturer-of-this-prime-mover/#findComment-593628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted yesterday at 05:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:09 PM Early KW after Dart acquisition would be my guess.

cruiseliner64 Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago 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??

Geoff Weeks Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago No KW sold to Unit Rig. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76518-can-anyone-identify-the-manufacturer-of-this-prime-mover/#findComment-593637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadwayR Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago I am going to say it's a Euclid. Maybe a 5LLD. Curved fenders and the rounded upper rear corner of the door windows look like 50's era Euc to me. Also has the triangular fuel tank running crossways behind the cab common on Euc dumps. Darts were usually had squared off cabs and sheetmetal. LLD Euc's often had twin Detroit 6-110's each with its own Allison powershift 4 speed, one driving the #2 axle, the other driving the #3. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76518-can-anyone-identify-the-manufacturer-of-this-prime-mover/#findComment-593640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
james j neiweem Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I've changed my mind completeley on this being a Dart inspiration and go with KS assessment of a Euclid. I've seen Euc's that look just like this. KS to the rescue again.
