    Nice Restoration of your Bighorn. My Dad bought 2 new Bighorns in 1975, and when he did that. He also got 2 Dodge D100 pickups as part of a Promotion back then. I still own one of the Bighorns and the D100 my Dad gave me for my Birthday that year.

    Thats a very cool DODGE big rig. Till this date these old school classic rigs are unique to look at on their designs back then. Very nice and one of a kind! 👍🏼

    Happy it's restored to original. Dayton wheels, Hendrickson suspension, and no 10 foot frame stretch or 8 inch stacks.

    Chrysler did a nice job taking a cab design from the the fifties,and making the long nose front end and blending the two together,it works,and looks nice.

      I have always considered myself a Dodge man and knew of the Dodge 900s with the swing out fenders but never knew of the Bighorns until tripping across a RUclips video several years ago.
      I could totally see me shoe-horning a B model Cat under the hood and a Double Eagle sleeper on the back and wonder tripping around the country in one.

    Very nice, definitely not many of the Big Horns left. To funny that the Chrysler star in the center of the steering wheel is about to come back.

      Actually as few as were initially built, quite a lot are around.

      This has nothing to do with a Bighorn pickup.

    I noticed he said in the video that it just sits around in the shop because they don't use it that much anymore but I wonder if anyone who has trucks like this just enjoy taking out for a spin sometimes I don't know if you could answer that question Ms flatbed red I would imagine that like if I had a cool truck like that pink and white one I'd want to just take it out for a cruise even if I wasn't using it for work just for fun

    • @MissFlatbedRed
      @MissFlatbedRed  26 дней назад +1

      He did say they use it occasionally. Sometimes they are protest being taken out. I tried to take my truck to 4 shows but it had other ideas. They do have to be driven to stay in working order, and see what needs fixed, just isn’t always that straightforward.

    There were many Dodge, Chevrolet, GMC, Ford tractors in WNC Apple farming community in the 70s they didn't travel long distance and worked mostly late summer -fall. I'm guessing they were more affordable? Nobody owned a Peterbilt or KW. My family had a coe Dodge with a Detroit or smaller gasoline Dodge trucks.

    I think your truck is amazing. I live in Hamilton and during the seventies I was an apprentice. I worked at White trucks, (now a Uhaul dealer in Hamilton) and also at Paling and Wheels brakes and Equipment. I eventually became a salesman there selling Garwood packers and Vac-All equipment. While at Paling one of our customers had a Sicard truck, which is almost exactly like your truck. His had a Cummins in it. I don't remember his name but it was a wine and red striped unit with a box on it. I remember his did not have flush headlights like yours, more like a depressed box on an R model mack. Eventually I had a "U" model Mack which I installed a bunk and took it to Chicago and New York in the eighties. Eventually in wrote a book about mechanics ruclips.net/video/DsTraFmzSEo/видео.html. With no degree I could not sell the ideas to car companies even though many years I hauled car parts to all the automotive firms at Central Transport.

    Oh man a Bighorn with an 8V-71T is rather rare, most were Cummins Small Cams.
