- Grab your Coffee and chair and sit back & enjoy a very rare piece of American vintage Iron. Hear the complete history of this local to New York Cummins powered rescued survivor. A true piece of Americana from the glory days of Trucking.
I feel so blessed to have lived during a time when life was a little harder but simpler to enjoy, The 1960's and 1970's for me.
Totally agree my friend.
WOW!! This brings back memories! My dad used to work at the plant that built these.
😮that’s an awesome heritage 😬👍
That's amazing - never seen one of these before. The original owner sitting in the cab again is priceless..! Great stuff
THATS the connections I love to hear about! Thanks for watchin Tim.
Ford and dodge built these trucks ,I hD 2 of them ,the cabs were identical
Love your channel. A by gone era. Anyone can "drive" the new trucks.
Thank you so much. 😊
I grew up in Detroit 60's 70's remember all these trucks. GMC tractors for GM, Ford tractors for Ford, and Dodge tractors for Chrysler. My dad had cabover Mack and Int 4070. I've been trucking 40 yrs.
Hat tipped Driver! You’ve been able to experience it all. 😬👍
Just can't say enough about the restoration of this old beauty,thank you sir for your dedication and effort to preserve American trucking history!
He's very talented in that he was able to fabricate those parts such as the lower dash cover. Dane sure meets a lot of interesting people in his videos.
I never heard of a dodge cabover Learn something new everyday
Same here
That was the first truck I ever drove my cousin had one in 1970 brand new 220 Cummins and 10 speed road ranger
I'm old enough to remember heavy duty dodge trucks
Back in the 70s as a kid I remember eastern freightways which bought associated transport and ultimately bankrupted them ran lots of dodge single axle conventional tractors with Cummins engines and probably 5spd 2 speed rear transmissions
It's very interesting when folks can make their own interior and it looks so good. Very nice truck. I never drove any big Dodge trucks, but they are good looking on the inside. Even outside they look good .
Looks like dodge and Cummins have a long history together . First the big boys and now the small boys ( rams) .
Never had anything like that cab over here in Australia. The nearest thing in Cabovers back then were the K124 narrow day cab Kenworth and the Cabover Peterbilt integrated Sleeper Cab
There a few imported in Australia. I remember reading the article in truck and bus magazine. Most had Detroit's.
You guys had some wild looking Inter COE in west Auzz they had wind screens by your feet
That brand of truck right there is what got me hooked on big trucks. The only difference in the two is the one i first time rode in was a 1969! Model . I rode with my dads friend to winnie texas and loaded and delivered a load of rice to the grain elevator in the port of houston. From then on i was hooked on big trucks. That was in 1975.
THATS what it’s all about, remembering when we got bit by the big truck bug and memories we have of it. Thanks for watching
Nothing better than driving a vintage anything that drives new...........
Absolutely 👍
Cool old Dodge, like that Big Horn in the background. Can’t wait to see that episode.
and you certainly will soon! Thanks for watching!
Rare truck there for sure, non existant here on the west coast for sure. Thanks bud.
Thanks for watching! Maybe one will pop up near you.
These dodge trucks fascinate me to no end. As I understand, Dodge was a very late entrant to the Heavy Truck market, right before the oil embargo. They sold a handful of them and then decided it wasn't worth it. So this is truly a rare bird.
I agree, I love em they were so unique and looked like no other.
Just can't get enough of these old classic trucks! I remember when these Dodge trucks were brand new roaming the highways back in the day.
The love that guy has for that old white Dodge is simply tangible. He did such a great job restoring it. Thanks for the video ... absolutely loved it!
And Thanks for watching!
Wow! That brings back some fond memories of my youth. We had a ‘67 w/250 Cummins and 10 Speed Spicer. I was just a kid riding shotgun with my Brother or Dad driving. Our interior was bone stock and that dog box would get scorching hot. Man what a view. Thanks for posting this. Funny thing back then I wished we had a conventional Pete but now 50 years later I wish I had that old Dodge.
Memories and connections to our families and heritage....love hearing about it. Thanks for watching!
I owned and operated a 1973 Dodge CO. With a Cummins 903 v8 and trucked all over. Had a very unique sound. 13 over tranny. 390 rears because I pulled 35 ton loads in Canada.
So cool! Love both the truck and the 903.😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE . The 903s have such a distinctive sound 😉. 350 horsepower back then.
there was a guy run west out of Wpg Manitoba Canada with a blue L1000 with a 318 det with a big sleeper
Nice to see those old cabovers being restored Sharp looking truck
1 the Bighorn was a big Beauty I love that truck this truck was nice too
A face only a mother could love.
And ME! 😬👍
I love how you guys are restoring these old classics, not just the Petes, KWs and Macks that most people restore. I like those too but really love the Dodges, GMCs, Whites etc. This truck is sweet just like it is. When are you doing the Emeryville video you promised? Keep it up, love your channel!
Thanks “Captain”, I’m with you on that. The Emeryville owner declined being featured so will have to wait for another to surface that’s not too far away from me. Thanks again for watching.
And the fords
My favorite cabover is the 70s and 80s Freightliners, GMC and Chevy C.O.s second
That's a seriously nice dodge cabover. Gotta love any type of old truck nowadays. God bless those old school truckers
For sure!👍
I was so lucky to have worked on and and driven so mahy of these classics and have been part of the good old days of trucking. AWESOME job Dane
Thanks Russ!😬
I've been a part of the auto industry for 20 years now. Never in all my years did I know Dodge made a cab over. Thanks for the upload. Learned something new.
Absolutely you are welcome. I drooled over my buddy’s Dads as a kid. Still a bucket list truck for me.
He's made that into a really nice rig.
I haven't seen one of these in a long time. Thanks for putting this up. I'm glad there is someone out there going through the trouble to preserve and restore these.
I love those old L series trucks and the headlight bezels are the same ones they used on the A100 vans and trucks and the A108 vans from the 1960's
I agree. Very cool and unique.
brings back memories
Top of the litter classic trucks.
It's MOPAR OR NO CAR , in this house. Thanks for the Dodge rig video!👍
You bet... thanks for watching
A real labor of love. And it really shows. A beautiful rare beauty. Thanks for showing it.
For sure!😬
Funny, I always thought those square dodge coe's were ugly in their day - but now I'd take it on a date! Thanks for reviving this truck!
And thanks for watching
My Dad was assigned one of these for a short period of time . It was a rough riding tractor that he was happy to leave .
That cooper lines are much better then the cheap crap today that's why there is so many old iron still here running.they wasn't cheap in making them. Thanks 4 the video.i love old iron.
And thanks for watching
Beautiful!!
Watching your drive brought back😊 memories of my grandfather driving cabover, Thanks for the memories.
That’s what it’s all about here my friend. Hookin up with those old school truckin memories! Thanks for watching
What a fantastic old school cabover! Gotta love it!
Very nice! I had a 72 years ago. It was green n white. 903 cummins, 13 speed. Love to have it back. Those Dodges were good trucks
Sweet, I think according to Don those 903's and 8V92s were designated LVT1000s. "V" for the V8.
What a nice truck, thanks, New York is quite beautiful.what a great drive.
Thanks for watching
I knew a guy in upstate NY that ran a 74 L1000, similar to that one. I loved to just look at that truck when he was at home.
Wow! What a labor of love! Love them old Dodge trucks....l am currently restoring a 1946 Dodge Coe..that was so neat how the original owner was able to sit in his old truck and reminisce..You can't put a price on that..
Thats a fact! It's the memories of great truckin times gone by.
I'm soo jealous. Life long trucker here that owns a barracuda bracket race car. This gets me twice. Nice
well thanks for watching!
Sharp interior!!
Dodge knew how to make Drive trains back then most campers RVs back in the 60s 70s 80s up in the 90s had Chrysler drivetrains in RVs and campers didn't know if anybody knew that a lot of them were the 440s which was a solid engine
cabovers were the best
Dude...this is one hell of an awesome "ride back in time". I first saw a Dodge (sleeper) cabover in 1964 (when I was 13) on display at the New York World's Fair. The unit was at an exhibit sponsored by Allied Van Lines...I looked up at that truck with that big white steering wheel starin' at me through that remarkable flat windshield, and I "fell in love" with it. Amazing machine...
That’s such a cool memory:experience! I love them as well, my buddy’s Dad drove one and I always drewled over it as a kid.
Great great video!!!!! I'm almost in tears. LOL
Love the stories behind the story
Yes sir! Thanks for watching
Used to be one in someone's yard behind the community college in Grand rapids MN probably still there.
Thanks for the great video, man that's one sweet Dodge.:)
It sure is! And thanks for watching
Drove a dodge cabover in seventies. With a big 250 cummins
Hats off to you Driver! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. We appreciate you
And thank YOU for watching 😊👍
I put a lot of miles on one of these back in the early 70's.
You’re my idle!!! Lol. 😬👍
Man that sounds track is awesome good job 👍🙂
Thanks Josh 😬👍
Cool.old.dodge
Thank you for making this video. I have a dodge cabover my self and its always good to see these trucks get some attention and also learn a few things about these classics. Please tell Don he did a great job on restoring his truck for me.
Hey There, I love watchin what you're doing with yours as well. These are a labor of love and its great to see the young guys like you comin aboard the vintage iron train lol.
Eazor express all green trucks went bankrupt in 83
Great job on your redoing the dodge tks
Glad people are saving these old trucks.
Dodge was among the first of Big 3 auto makers to get out of making class 8 trucks. I remember seeing these Dodge cabovers all the time during the 70s, day cabs pulling Chrysler grey/blue colored trailers on Detroit's east side where Chrysler had a huge plant.
Yea seen plenty of them as a kid in the 70s
So many cool trucks back in the day. To bad they are all gone. Sad. Sometimes you just wanna see old school iron at work. Not these newfangled aero trucks.
Understatement! Totally with you Brother. Thanks for watching!
Ah that brings back memories!! Cool video!! Be safe out there Brother Peace!!
The memories are what this channel is all about. Glad to share them. Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing this one that is one rare piece there.
Yes they are quite rare John. Thanks too for watching 😬
Frickin Awsome Two Thumbs Up
Thanks 😬👍
The last time I saw a Dodge cabover was about 33 years ago in a lot in Centralia,Mo next to steel wire plant.
One of my bucket list trucks for sure!😍
I recall seeing some of those trucks, the headlight trim looks like hub caps with the centre punched out
Lol… they were absolutely unique for sure.
That was hard trucking back then.
Yes it was, those Drivers are a special breed. Thanks for watching
Wow that cabover is boxy. Now these days the only cabovers I see around here in the USA are fire trucks, garbage trucks, yard trucks, & some box trucks.
Great save on a old beautifully done thanks from Sc
Very nice !!! Rare machines right there.
Perfect workhorse , had 250 Cummins in a Seddon Atkinson used to struggle going up Mont Blanc but could listen to the sound of it all day long
Thanks for watching Ian.
250 hummin cummins! 73280 lbs, and a hill! Well lets just say, you couldn't outrun your shadow!. Nice job saving her. Sounds good!😀
But look sooooo good doin it!😜👍
Very nice video of a great old truck. He mentioned his buddy Bill from Rochester NY who has Dodges too. I have known Bill for many years as we both collect Dodge Power Wagons. He actually lost several very valuable Dodges in a bad fire several years ago. These cabovers were in my opinion way ahead of their time.
Thanks again for the video.
Bill Garland
Carlisle, Pa.
Thanks Bill for the info, perhaps have him contact me I’d love to see his and feature his truck. Thanks too for watching.😬
God Bless you seeing these ole rigs brings tears to my eyes my favorite truck was an old cmodelll Mack twin-screw with the double stick with the Gold Bull Dog Maxine if you ever find one please show it anyway I'm off to the rmv today I should say in Massachusetts the water in line forever dayto renew the class A anyway God Bless all I hit 60 Friday but I'm still kicking Keep on Trucking Play some Dick Curlis Tombstone every mile ❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 sincerely TNT
Will do Tim thanks for watching 😬👍
Great job on that rig,just beautiful.
Thanks for watching
Knew a guy that rebuilt a R model Mack. Started out with just the right side frame rail. He did it because it was his and didn't want to part with the 500hp V-8.
Beautiful unit
It sure is! Thanks for watching
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I had one , never was able to find parts for it . I gave it away to a fellow from Phoenix
I’m not much of a fan of Dodge trucks, but I sure can appreciate this tractor and all the love and hard work that went into this restoration, it came out beautiful. Would love to see the tractors you feature pulling trailers. Thanks for posting -Will
That WOULD be cool! Thanks for watching
Nice old truck
Fantastic iron. Would love to have all three of them in American Truck Simulator.
And very aerodynamic lol, I love the old iron
Great thank you
Praise God brother!!
I hope my truck comes out even half as good as that! Mine is a 71 and a daycab. I’m filming the whole thing which is a learning process, but that truck is incredible! It is a definite piece of history!
I’ve enjoyed watching your project Dodge. Keep up the great content 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE thank you! I watched you for a long time now! I have always loved your content!
The Pulling Hitch on the back of the Dodge Bighorn in the background gave it away. I have pics of that beautiful truck pulling the sled down the track. LOL
Oh Ya! its a killer truck..stay tuned.
Really nice !!I helped my dad restore and repaint a 1981 ihc 2275 s series back in 1988 its just so good to bring ol trucks back to life again.
That sound of that engine is sharp! Thank you for sharing!
And Thanks for watching!
Always love cabover truck ❤
Me too! 👍😬
I miss the yeard that I drove one of these Dodges. Dave Suntken
Hat tipped Driver! You got to drive one for a year! Very cool! 😬👍
When I was fresh out of high school in the early 80's working in a truck stop out on I-44 There were still some of the old rare trucks out there plugging away, like L 1000's, Big Horns, integral cab B and L Macks etc. I wish I had known then I was seeing the end of something unique in trucking. Even the trucks that were dominating the roadways at the time, 352, 362, K-100, International and Freightliner cabovers , R and U Macks, Autocars, Detroit powered jimmies, gone and replaced by a bunch of plastic trucks that I can't tell apart till I'm close enough to see the emblems.
I TOTALLY agree! Sad state of affairs
fantasic truck
Wow what a FIND...Thats a Nice Restore. On the Dodge..
Really Cool Lorry. 😎
11:40 So cool to see it uses the same key style as the 60s-70s Mopar cars. Could've easily been some type of industrial-type item used instead, glad the engineers pulled from the parts bin.
The early trucks were like that from Ford, GM, and Dodge. Very cool
,THIS IS AWESOME
I did mechanic work on those cab over Dodges, younger people don't know how Dodge was big in the class 8 truck market. I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Thank you Dan for watching. My hats tipped to your service on the icons of old school big trucks. I always have loved those big cabover and Big Horn Dodges for sure!
that was a niiice trip.. great to see some more rare trucks :-) Amazing job with that restoration.
Thanks Ole, and thanks for watching
Deluxe interior not the bare metal seen on most fleet tractors
