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...

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 yesterday at 05:26 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:26 PM 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??

Popular Post RoadwayR Posted 22 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 22 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. 2 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 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 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.

Geoff Weeks Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago The cab looks like a match to the picture, or at least the door looks the same.

Vladislav Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Even the bumper and fenders are similar. So looks like the point to me.
