It's amazing that you can go from 600hp to 3000hp and never change the fuel.
Gotta respect people who fix and restore old vintage stuff, be it cars, trucks, tractors, boats or whatever.
Yes sir!😬👍
The cab on the Big Horn is the same cab, from the firewall back, that was used on the "Power Giant" era of Dodge pickup trucks trucks from 1956-1960 and it stayed in production for use in larger Dodge trucks at least until the 1975 production of the Big Horn. The cab, the doors and the wrap around windshield are from that mid 1950s design. Dodge made a lot of interesting trucks and certainly got their money's worth from that tooling. As good as their trucks were they never could achieve significant gains in market share against GM and Ford in the US market. I tip my hat to Mr. Gambino for preserving this one and the two L1000s I see there. Those are interesting trucks that you never see anymore.
Great info Thanks for watching!
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I own a 1957 Dodge D-100 in good original condition. The windshield is showing it's age and had some scratches. When I realized how long that cab stayed in production I figured that it won't be too hard to source a new windshield when the time comes to replace it.
Chrysler never invested enough in its nationwide dealer service system for its commercial trucks
The cabs were also used on quite a few FWD trucks as well.
Yeah I was wondering about the history of those cabs i didn’t know they where used up into the 70s
A friend and I visited this shop a couple years ago, we were passing through and just dropped in unannounced. Joe was working on the truck, and took time to show it to us and around his shop, answer our questions and just talk to us. We took up quite a bit of his time, but he never rushed us or hinted that we should leave, what a super nice guy. Best of luck, Joe.
Back when the big automobile makers produced big trucks I always really liked the Big Horn👍
Absolutely
My 1978 pete had a KT600 I bought it new wish I still had that cabover today great truck
Love them old Dodge's
I really have a new appreciation of the vintage Dodge trucks, thanks for the video.
Glad to be the conduit to some awesome vintage iron for you. Thanks for watching!
19 liters. 6.25” bore. Giant engine.
another great video I had the chance to drive the boss's W9 with a kta 600 that was tuned by Tom Linsey what a beast . Anyone familiar with truck pulling knows Tom's K100 built for business
Great to see Dodges on the show!
And I thought my 1990 Dodge W350 converted 2 ton dump truck with the 5.9 12v Cummins was pretty cool.... But this BIG HORN truck is so awesome I can't stop drooling!
Wow, that old Dodge Big Horn is BADASS. ..Great Videos of all of them. Thanks for sharing
And thanks for watching Tom.
In 73 my dad bought a brand-new Bighorn, red with a 12-v 92 twin turbos and blowers, and an 18-speed tranny, pulled a bull rack. That truck hauled ass, not sure how fast it ran but it was fast enough for sure. You know how bull haulers used to be... wide open, or close to it. That dam hood was very long especially when you are riding in it and only a kid. What a tractor!
Wow! What a mean machine! Would love to have experienced that! Hat tipped. 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE It was very cool. My dad was always a Dodge guy for some reason, before he hauled cattle in KS, we lived in CA and he owned a moving company. ALL of his tucks were dodges most were straight trucks but he also owned two tractors both single screws, and they were Doges as well.
Daaaaaam that is a beautiful Dodge. They sure don't make them like they used to..Gotta love the old iron..
Standing by the road as he blew past was very memorable experience trust me. Shook the ground. 😮
Great video, brings back memories with the Cummins KTA600.:) My dad owned a 78 International 4070 with a KT450, what a beast. Hauled B trains of ore at 140,000 pounds. Happy times.:)
Glad to put ya on the memorylanetrain Bud, thanks for watching!
truck must've cried up hill
@@destructoidx99 lol
How does the Cummins KTA19 compare to a Cat 3408 or Detroit 16v71? There's not a whole lot of info about the K series Cummins in general.
Very nice! Looks like Mopar heaven. I imagine a '70 Hemi Challenger R/T on a trailer behind it.
Valve covers looked like QSK covers!!
I thought that I was the only one that noticed that it is a QSK... several things gave it away - the aftercooler, the EGT sensors in each cylinder head, the single long cam cover, the double ended fuel rail, the front cover fan hub mount, plus like you said the valve covers. It's a QSK minus the electronics. Looks good.
I’m not too familiar with Dodge, Cummins, or semi trucks in general but I can tell you one thing I know for sure: This thing is super cool. It looks and sounds great.
Holy SMOKES!!! That Big Horn is badass. I could listen to that girl idle all day.
I know right?
Interesting that Dodge stuck with the same cab for 3 generations of trucks. The hood looks like something very similar to Mack or Brockway.
I've seen that truck in lots of pulling videos, definitely a class winner 🏆! Thanks for the video!👍😎
Well Dane you really set the bar high on this one, AWESOME
Thanks as always Russ!
Dane, you have outdone yourself with this video!! This should be one of the most watched video of truck lovers everywhere!!💯💯💯
Thanks John, I appreciate your watching and support.
Hey Dane , I don't have much to say about this Big horn other than what you said , WOW . Thanks , Mark Battista
I wish Dodge made heavy duty trucks today. I miss them
What a beast! I still think the big horn style is right up there with the kw and Pete’s of the day!
My cousin used to drive a 1962 Dodge in Colombia S/A, in 2010 he was still driving that truck
Oh that part at 7:02 when he is spoiling up. Gave me goosebumps and giggles. That was awesome
There's a video of the Bighorn on the Brothers RUclips channel running 10 second 1/8 mile passes at Lancaster speedway. For anyone that doesn't know, that's insanely quick for something that weighs over 20k.
That is so awesome!! Ever since I saw one, always wanted one. Especially being a Dodge person. That is right next to the Superliner as my favorite trucks on the road!!
Man your channel just keeps me so entertained! I cant get enough of this stuff. I'm around big heavy trucks and transports everyday for a living, I still cant wait to see what you have to offer. I just love the step back in trucking and think of the times these trucks were being used for a living.
Brad, thank you so much for the encouragement. I’m thrilled to know I can give some guys enjoyment and connection to the glory days of a great profession! Thanks for watching!😬
Beautiful truck, the old dodge hood and grill are as iconic as Pete and kw
I like how it smokes while it's idling.. what a beast
This truck is very beautiful. Also that red cabover dodge was calling your name. It was saying Dane buy me, add me to your collection, take me home and give me a new lease on life. Lol just kidding. But it would be great to see that red one on the road again being enjoyed at shows and on the road being driven. Thank you for the video Dane keep them coming when you can please.
Good luck getting parts for that thing.
Wow twice more powerful than M1A2 abrahams tank
Well, another video of a cool old truck. Thanks Dane!! You’ve done it again…
Thanks Glenn … that things a monster!
I've been flagging on the track for years. Joe is a great guy. You should see it pull.
Used to truck with an old guy who had a KT engine under his hood. He loved blowing the doors off all of us "small-block" Cummins 855 guys in the mountains. I believe the KTs are around 1100 CID. It weighed a lot though. What a deep growl. An engine really designed for big heavy equipment like the huge loaders that filled our belly dump trailers.
Only thing that would make that truck any cooler would be a little coffin sleeper, awesome
Wow somebody has one just like this if it still runs. It was a super modified Red Big Horn that pulled at the Buck 20 yrs ago!! Anyway beautiful rare truck. Not many Big Horns were made but they are a awesome Rig! I'm a 359 Pete Man and I still appreciate and love it. Thanks for posting this! I sure miss all the fun and easy to drive Big hood trucks.
Glad you enjoyed it "SteamGent" and Thanks for watching.
Awesome video, I have a few "C" cabs myself, 1 is a restored tractor 413 gas 5 x 4 trans twin screw 42k miles air brakes
Sweet! Thanks for watching!
Dane that was one cool truck!! Thank you my friend. 😊👍🏾🇨🇱❤
and thanks for watching!
What an incredible machine! Has the awesome presence of a nuclear blast.
That is one bad Big Horn I love it man I would love to see that thing in person I have been a big Dodge Truck fan since I was a kid
Very nice dodge, and a K block tooo…….thanx
Gorgeous!!.. bet it does well at pulls too!!
God you gotta love the sounds of them old school trucks I wish the newer trucks sounded this good
You should stand as it rolls past..... truly an experience!😬👍
That truck is a thing of beauty that's Dane awesome video thanks again
Thanks Keith and Thanks for watching!

Man I never seen a dodge truck so fast! Thanks for showing us Mr. Dane
It’s an incredible truck for sure.
That is one nice beautiful semi
Awesome truck! Reminds me of watching the Dodge Fever pulling semi.
thanks for watching!
Love that kta sound.
Love that black smoke reminds me of old macks I used to drive
Really awesome looking truck! That monster sounds great and it sounds like it’s ready to hurt someone’s feelings! Thanks so very much for sharing your truck with us!
“Hurt somebody’s feelings” that’s a good one lol. 😬
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I was referring to the owners/drivers of the other pulling trucks! YOU ROCK!!!
Nice idel to also love the rolling coal wish dodge stayed with making these trucks love the see these old truck on the road
Dude 😎, you did an awesome job on this show quality beauty. At the fact that you are hard pressed to even see a Big Horn. She looks really good Rollin Coal. Music to my old truckin soul listening to her sweet sweet music. A pure & beautiful work of art. Great job 😆!
Thanks Jamie glad you enjoyed
That's ba ba Bad to the bone!! Love them Big Horns!! Use to know where one was but don't know what happened to it!! Great video again!! Be safe out there Brother Peace ✌
Gorgeous Dodge Big Horn.

Love your trucks on this channel.
Don't see very many and most of all in this condition. Thanks for sharing Dane...
My pleasure for sure.. thanks for watching!
One beautiful truck !
KTA!! Big power. Interesting engine, like the two strokes.
KTA is four stroke
@@theunknownkeyboardist6154 yes
Beautiful truck.
What a beauty. I noticed at truck pulls they like these.
Should have went for a ride. I think this is my new dream truck
What a frickin BEAST!!
My grandfather had an old cab over Pete with an ktta 650 in it , it was all factory stock engine but it was the baddest thing I'd ever been in
Great looking truck.
Great Video, As a comparison my ISM Cummins has less total horsepower then the Big Horn has in one cylinder, fuel for thought.
I didn’t think of it that way but that’s pretty incredible!
Gotta love that sound
It's like me with the Ford Louisville. Maybe one day.
That is one sweet ride.
He should take us through some of the engine modifications he did!!!
Right, i want to know is the bottom stock or what.
Look at that black smoke .roll on big horn
Nice.
Whatta beautiful Beast!!
This thing is definitely not carb compliant good luck in California, It is definitely sick awesome job
It’s a monster……and I’d love to have one
Harris Transportation from Victorville, CA had 3 of them! One had a 350 Detroit and the other two had Cummins. I’d give anything to have one of them now.
Beautiful truck
Wow excellent video,what a machine
It sure is, thanks for watching
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE very welcome
What a beautiful rig.
It’s a monster! When he went by me I about filled ma drawls! Lol
Screw EVs. As long as there are enthusiasts out there, I.C.E. vehicles will live on. The truck sounds awesome!
This is the kind of truck that inspired me to build mine, it's right between a heavyduty pick-up and a semi tractor. It's a 79 ram cab and nose on the frame of a international single axle ( not sure what year cuz it was pretty stripped and all I wanted it for was the frame) we kept it gas powered cuz I'm not that experienced with diesel but I can make a gas motor that can pull the cork out of the ocean. The axles are from a delivery van and it had a 440 with performance parts all over it but the block was still early 70's muscle car era and a 999 auto trans. It got the name hellhound cuz I painted it black on black (no chrome) had duel 4 inch by 6 foot stacks with propane injection flamethrowers that threw flames 10 in the air and had green neon light all over the truck so going down the road it would glow green underneath, under the hood, behind the grill, in the cab and even had green marker lights on the roof and headache rack. Had a huge handmade brush guard. I regularly used it to pull heavy equipment the bosses F350 couldn't. Sold it to him when I became disabled and had to retire
wow Joe! sounds killer! you just can't get any better than Mopar! Thanks for watching the channel.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE thank you, our current project is we're cramming a Duramax into a Cadillac Seville diesel, my friend wanted to restore his grandfathers caddy but it hadn't run in almost a decade cuz only his grandfather could keep it running. He originally was gonna drop in an LS3 in it but his grandfather was a huge diesel guy who drove truck all his life. He knows how to work with modern engines so we found a wrecked sierra with a Duramax that we're putting its running gear into the caddy. We mainly have to work during the winter when it's the slow season for us construction guys
Awesome k19. The biggest bore I know of in a truck
Nice video brother I think its just me but that looks like an QSK19 Cummins intake cover on the engine
Thank you and Thanks for watching!
I said the same . they don't want to talk about that.!!!
@@ruxoneto6560 👍👍
You Done An Awesome job 👏👍
Thank you! 😊
Sounds wicked! ❤
It did… and shook the ground as he passed! 👌
My FAVORITE vid yet 😍😍😍😍
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Porter greetings! ❄️ I’ve always loved those Dodge Big Horns…in the pictures. I finally got to see one in person a few years ago….my jaw dropped, my chest started heaving, my eyes geared up, my mind was speaking but my lips would only quiver! 😵💫 I had it bad! That was at a truck show. I loved those door handles and the little mopar locks.🥰 The older trucks really have some wonderful body designs! I keep telling my boys…I would love to have 1 truck per each day to drive and then something special to drive on Sunday, but then I would want a big garage to park my toys in. That would leave no inheritance for them, except for the trucks. LOL 🤩💰 The funny thing is that most of the trucks would be cabovers! 🥰 Cabovers Rule, you know!! 😎 Another good video to warm my thoughts on this cold Tuesday morning! Thanks! 🤩🥰✌️
I'm with ya Bud!
Cool truck!
That distinctive sound of K models
And then some! Lol
It must have a huge cam and injectors to be making 3000hp with a single PT pump. Switching to common rail would be a big gain in power I think.
Love the Dodge.. GOD BLESS
Thanks for watching Bob.
I've seen this rig before driving around. He's not too far away from where I live.
There was a Big Horn that looked like that hauling pulpwood on the East Coast years ago, any trucker that saw it in his mirrors knew he would soon see the rear end disapear in the distance!
