- 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.
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!
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!😬
Thank you for this video. We appreciate you
And thank YOU for watching 😊👍
A face only a mother could love.
And ME! 😬👍
I hauled one home on a flatbed trailer. Hit a bridge with just the three glass marker lights on the raised part over the roof vent
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
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
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
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.
Used to be one in someone's yard behind the community college in Grand rapids MN probably still there.
Man that sounds track is awesome good job 👍🙂
Thanks Josh 😬👍
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 .
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
Sharp interior!!
Glad people are saving these old trucks.
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
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.
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
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
And very aerodynamic lol, I love the old iron
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.
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.
Awesome truck as usual
Great video. Hope they do something with the orange truck.
I hear that! Its just as cool as the other two IMO. Thanks for watching!
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
Very cool Dane thanks good buddy
Thanks for watching Keith
Wow that looks great!
Those old dodge cabovers are hard to find nice to see one going on the road
They certainly are. Thanks for watching
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I'd would be nice to see a Emeryville that is the first truck I learned to drive to pull grain with
Hey Dane, I'm glad to see he left the original patina , the paint is only original once . Love your channel . Thanks , Mark Battista
Thanks for watching Mark.
Good job Don, hope you are doing well !
Yes sir thank you. And Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video, man that's one sweet Dodge.:)
It sure is! And thanks for watching
Restore as many as possible, keep'em runnin
That big horn gets used for pulling and has a kta600 under the hood if I remember correctly
I think you on to something there JT. Lol.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE he’s a friend of a friend. Plus I saw him a few years back at the Alexander steam show. They had an exhibition pulling event and he’s was there. A few nice old superliner Mack’s as well. I remember one had an e9 Mack motor, absolute monster.
Shit I'm subbed now. After that Big Horn video my god man. Guys got talent, I didn't expect him to say be did the interior as well.
He certainly made a beautiful truck from When he got it. That’s what it’s all about. Preserving these time pieces. Let me tell ya that truck rides like new, no squeaks or rattles either.
You don't see many of those, they are rare.
Hey Dane, just found your channel, and LOVE it!
I’m currently restoring a ‘74 Cabover Pete, and am desperately looking for interior upholstery. My desire is for the green Peterbilt had back then, but brown will be ok, too. If you can steer me towards someone who has it I would be eternally great full. Thanks.
Welcome aboard! 😬 I would post on the several Facebook pages such as Dying Breed Diesels, ATHS, and there are many cabover pages as well as a one just for Pete 352s. Good luck and thanks for watching.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE : Awesome, thanks. I don’t do Facebook but I will look on my wife’s page.
Find me a 1974 dodge long horn they were only made from 73 to 75
Where in New York did you find this Dodge fleet?.. I'm from Syracuse...
Not too far from Buffalo about an hour south. I try not to give out too much location info out of respect but if you need specific questions answered email me and I can pass them on to them. Thanks for watching.
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!😜👍
Looks like dodge and Cummins have a long history together . First the big boys and now the small boys ( rams) .
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.
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!
That was the first truck I ever drove my cousin had one in 1970 brand new 220 Cummins and 10 speed road ranger
Yep Dodge use to manufacture big rig over the road trucks. The Dodge Brothers started out manufacturing Trucks 1st actually
Great ol 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
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
Love your channel. A by gone era. Anyone can "drive" the new trucks.
Thank you so much. 😊
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.
awesome video, if you can, please lower the volume of the music while you're doing the in-cab shoot! id love to hear the truck make its own music :)
Thanks for watching!
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE thanks for uploading, love seeing these pieces of old iron still living.
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.
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
I backed it up 3 times
ATTA BOY👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you thank you so much for this video, and can't wait to see the big horn truck video. I'm a big mopar fan and seeing these dodge trucks is amazing. You never see them, you see ford and GMCs more but not the dodge. So thank you so much for showing these. All your trucks that you have are cool too, even more so the cab overs.
Thanks for watching AJ I agree! Love these Dodges ... always have.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE I also love those trucks. Simple looking and to the point. Looks like it would be easy to work on too with alot of room.
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!
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.😬
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.
Aluminum cabs, you think would see more around because not rotting out like steel., What is the hole in passenger side of cab for?🤔,,, Nice video, can't wait for bighorn!👍😎
If you're referring to the area right behind the passenger door it's the cab jack handle.
Cool.old.dodge
Nice to see those old cabovers being restored Sharp looking truck
I didn´t know about the existence a Dodge Cab-over, maybe in the past there was a great time for the American´s trucks, all truck companies 100% americans, and other companies that didn´t make big trucks how Ford, Chevy, and Dodge decided made a big trucks, in the past there were so many truck companies, today only Peterbilt and Kenworth are americans, the others ones are europeans or chineses.
I just love how unique the Dodge cabover was and ya never know, one may find it’s way to the Truckers Lounge someday lol.
Those were truly the golden days of trucking.
No front brakes?! No wonder the old songs always sang about truckers running off the mountain.
My 74 Pete 352 didn’t either.
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE Man must be scary driving these things bobtail!
Not sure those recent aerodyne kennys, cascadias and volvo will have the same appeal and interest 30 years from now,trucks had charm back then,now its all about comfort and economy and all…
Totally agree, they won’t make a blip on the “old school” screen. Thanks for watching
I don't remember mine having a cab jack on it. I think mine had a torsion bar across the front of the cab. Maybe I'm thinking of another truck.
I know my White 7400 cabover had that setup.
I had a 74 COE KW That I bought brand new. I used to see Dodge COE on the road And I thought they were the ugliest trucks ever made, now I wish I had one. There was a company out of Sharon PA who hauled steal. They had single axle Dodgers and they pulled try axle trailers It was a pretty nice set up.
Time passes, situations change, and opinions transition, circle of life lol. Wonder what company that was in Sharon, Pa......anyone? Thanks for watching!
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE By the way I now on a dodge Big Horn Only thing is it’s a pick up truck with a hemi head engineHa Hah. Love the channel.
@@bobwilliams3502 lol. thumbs up
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 .
Beautiful truck. Wish l had the money to buy an old truck and restore it. Braydon has a couple l like. Thanks for sharing Dane
You bet!
Dane, have you been thru Arkansas? We've got our fair share of classics, so you might want to pay my home state a visit
No but ya never know…. 😬👍
@@DaneScottsTRUCKERSLOUNGE thanks. Have a blessed weekend
That must be more than a 250 ! I heard a turbo !! What's the deal with the hole in the passenger side of the cab with something hanging out ?
I believe the 250 option had the turbo as part of it. The handle sticking out is the cab release.
Correct..250 Cummins didn't have a turbo. 220 Cummins with a turbo = 262. 250 Cummins with a turbo = 282.
👍👍
It's MOPAR OR NO CAR , in this house. Thanks for the Dodge rig video!👍
You bet... thanks for watching
Very nice !!! Rare machines right there.
Hi
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
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
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.
WHY did you put that disco porn music on the end? We could be listening to that puppy purr! NO MUSIC! let the engine speak!
Nice truck I bought a new dodge k1000 in 1975 from Detroit truck show it was red with white pen strip's all over had deluxe interior saddle tan I sold to guy in pen he was steel haler
WOW!! This brings back memories! My dad used to work at the plant that built these.
😮that’s an awesome heritage 😬👍
The 250 Cummins didn't have a turbo. Put a turbo on a 250 and it becomes a 282.
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!
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
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.
Rare now since Dodge left the big truck market in 1975. Another great video you have. You sure meet some interesting people. I noticed when I used to drive long haul that there are a lot of old vintage trucks in the northeast waiting to be resurrected or already have been.
Thank you for watching. The great people I get to meet and learn from are what make make it such a joy to chase these old icons of Americana for sure. 😬👍
What a nice truck, thanks, New York is quite beautiful.what a great drive.
Thanks for watching
What a fantastic old school cabover! Gotta love it!
Make fiberglass reinforced molds when chaning fenders.
Pretty cool too look up old dodge semis and see my home town that's chautauqua lake I live in Jamestown NY
I never heard of a dodge cabover Learn something new everyday
Same here
Cabovers weren’t common in Detroit,Beauty
brings back memories
Beautiful!!
Hey, where's my Caddy? JK
Lol.😬
1 the Bighorn was a big Beauty I love that truck this truck was nice too
Great job on that rig,just beautiful.
Thanks for watching
That plate at the rear of the frame where the tail lights are: It looks like the cat on a Marschal fog/driving light.
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. 😬👍
👍
