- In this video I go over my 600mi road trip to haul home a new piece of equipment for the farm. A 1974 Dodge D600. The heaviest spec version you could get in 1974 double frame, extra big radiator 361 gas and a 5spd /2spd
Bailey is like “that truck better be full of dog biscuits” 😉
Dont see them in that shape all that often. Nice score Brian. That's a good looking rig
Hard to believe its almost 50 years old. It is a good old truck. Not perfect but should do the job better than tractor and wagon I have been using. lol Also $600 a year cheaper to use than my semi so in 5 years it will have paid for itself. :-)
@@bcbloc02 Suprisingly good condition really. You can tell its had a pretty easy life. That was a score.
My dad had one very similar years ago.
That is cool your dad had one.
You needed another project!
I am making sure I never run out of work! lol
@@bcbloc02 "I was put on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. At this point, I'll probably live forever..." :D
Don't we all?!
I'm willing to bet the only plastic on it is the lenses on the lights and the distributor cap.
Man that's a good looking old Dodge! Brings back a lot of memories. I'm looking forward to a diesel conversion!
Love hearing them frogs and red wing black birds. Makes for a nice spring day.
"Distaste for spark plugs".. agree👍👍
Hi Bailey and yes you too Brian, love the red truck really neat potential. Wish here we had a Ford f-650 4x4 as those go well here in the California Desert. Lance & Patrick.
Hey guys! Glad to see you all still at it. When new videos coming?
Hearing the peepers always gives me hope. Spring is coming!
I hope so. Ready for winter to be gone.
The interior looks great! I like how low your pickup is compared to newer pickups being super tall--much easier to access stuff in the bed.
Yes I often complain about the stupid jacked up height of new trucks. I can comfortably lift things to tailgate height no problem on my truck because it is well below my waist. Many new trucks the bed floor sits as high as my waist and that makes lifting heavy items in much more difficult. I can also step on the running boards and reach over into the bed nice as well.
@@bcbloc02 2wd trucks are lower then 4x4. Depending on the truck some are very tall in stock form. Then you have idiots making them even taller for no purpose.
@@FishFind3000 I know that. The bed floor on a 2020GM 2wd 3500 sits at least 8 inches higher than mine. Well at least until you load it anyways. lol
@@bcbloc02 worse case you can put it on airbags and drop the suspension for loading
Aftermarket clutch pedal return spring, Joe's Hardware. $1.99. Love it
Back when a man could get in there with the Engine, to work on it. Liked,shared. All my best.
That really is a pretty nice old truck. It is begging for a Cummins swap, like in the Hyster. I'm like Baily, I like it.
Be Careful and Stay Safe.
Bob
Tree frogs peepin in March. I miss that. That should be a good truck for you Brian. Thanks for the video.
You bet
That’s a pretty good looking truck in my opinion. Be looking forward to some upcoming videos of repairs and upgrades.
I am sure there will be some.
Nice looking grain truck. Where I grew up, come harvest, if the kid could see over the steering wheel, he was driving the truck. Harvest was always all hands on deck. Thanks for sharing. Wish you well.
Same here. I started driving tractors at 5. :-)
Brian that looks like a really nice straight good looking truck. Would love to see a built Cummins in it.
That D600 is a *BEAUTY* !! :)
I think so too!
Good looking truck! She's in great shape for her age! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome score! Love both trucks!
Thanks 👍
Darn it,,,takes me back to our '80 Mercedes 1600 3 ton, one I should have never sold being rare to find in good drive-able condition. Had the unimog inline 6 turbo w/ 6sp manual.. Thats one clean looking D600..Great find,,Bear
Nice addition to your Dodge truck collection. I’ve always liked the looks of the 3rd series D series Dodge trucks. I had a ’73 D100 back in the day.
That's a nice looking truck you have there Brian. The previous owner(s) treated it well!
That generation of Dodge heavy trucks are a nice looking truck that one you got there looks really nice
Thanks 👍
The truck looks great. Just what you need, a new project.
Gotta keep Brian busy!
Nice looking truck. Like the spring assisted clutch pedal!!
Great score! Looking forward to seeing you mod a little more power into it, haha... you’ve got a nice, clear camera for your videos... a little clip on mic might make a nice video mod for those loud background noise scenes... keep it up!
I know your definition of "rust free" probably differs from mine, but I know some grown men up here in the midwest that would kill for that beauty
Neat rig... those bogeys are a trip.
Year's ago I had a 71 D 600 dump. It had 361 with a 5sp & 2sp rear end. Ran, n pulled great
Bet that's the first road test of a grain truck on TH-cam. Very neat.
Nope. Maybe a gas job but there's one on one that has a 6V-53 two cycle that's been on for a while.
@Watch Wes Work drove that Mack grain hauler this fall. It wasn't a straight dump though.
@@bcbloc02 The one with the 6V has been up for a while. It was corn or wheat and a straight tandem. Seems like it was a 10-speed and the guy was smoking. As in maybe a Camel. Been a long time. Wes was working on an R-model tractor on one of his.
@@bcbloc02 I was wrong. It was Detroit Diesel 6V-92 Grain Truck Returns.
Looking good!
Good looking truck!
I think so too!
very good video bcbloc02 and very love old dodge...thanks for your time
Glad you enjoyed it
Reminds me of the fall of '74, getting off the school bus and seeing a brand new D300 cab and chassis in front of our shop. I was hoping for a shot of the standard equipment in the glove box, a spare ballast resistor!
And the screw driver to change it out 😊😉
Really good looking truck make a good corn hauler you don't see trucks like that in that good a shape anymore. hi Bailey.
Had a Ford 500 grain truck 21000 miles sold it in the middle 90's. Mint shape.
Dead On Dads Garage Entrance 😂😂😂. Great find more videos great. thanks for sharing
Very Cool Truck, i drove one of them before i had a license on Grandpas farm in SC, Following the combine. Great memories.
Very cool
Congratulations for new truck !! I hope it will help you a lot.
I hope so too!
That's a gem
Brian, Im glad to see that down hill weld on that trailer tongue didnt break off...lol
I haven't managed to pull it loose yet but then again I haven't hauled more then 20,000lbs on it yet. lol Somebody recently commented on that video and said "Welds look like fucking shit and downhill too. You should never pick up another welder" Lucky me I got the job done before I knew it was a failure!!
@@bcbloc02. lol
What a lovely old truck, looks like it's been really well looked after.
I was told it has lived inside at least the last 30 years.
Many years ago I had a 1974 Chevy C60 with a 366 tall block, 5 speed with a 2 speed, pretty much a match for your truck. Your truck is beautiful and I absolutely love it. You are a Dodge man this truck is perfect for you and there is no need to put a diesel in it. I am very happy for you, congratulations.

When I was a kid my neighbor had one like that. They hauled rock with it and it spent a lot of time on its side. It kept taking it though for years.
Man that thing is clean
I’m excited to see what you do with this you gotta new sub !
Thanks! Probably be next year before I get to messing with this though.
I loved seeing that metal button on the floor for turning the high beams on and off--I miss those
Yes it is old school all the way. I think I like the feel of the steering wheel the best.
Nice truck brian
Thanks 👍
I had a 72 F600 grainhauler. Same color but it had some MN rust on it. I liked to drive it to town sometimes. Wish I still had it.
Sweet old truck. Great shape for a 74.
Sure is!
Looking good Brian. Bailey had to bring out the Grain Truck crew those 2 chickens for the final inspection on that one.
Nice score Brian. That is a good looking truck and in real nice condition for a 1974. I agree with you about the tag axle and the engine with spark plugs. I think Bailey likes it. Give him a biscuit and belly rub from me. LOL
Baily says Thanks!
need a nice C series to go along with it Brian, always wanted to put a cummins in one of mine too.
Good lookin' ol' truck. Not many big Dodges here in my part of the country. That looks like a nice bed, good that you have the corner dump spouts. On our old IH grain truck, we just had the center spout on the bed... had to shovel out the corners every load. But, that old IH with the 345 V8 gas got it done.
A little TLC with a Cummins swap, that old Dodge has another 30 years left in it!
Those 345's were tough.
Looks like you did your buying homework Brian.
I keep forgetting about some of the special use trucks on farms that could be good deals that might need some attention after the owners get too old to take care of the "LITTLE" things.
If someone repainted the truck they did a good job! Truck looks great for its age.
I can tell by the underhood it has been repainted but it wasn't in too bad a shape before the paint so matching and blending it was pretty easy for them.
Excellent video i have a 1976 Dodge d600 2 ton truck just like this except mine was former military truck when I got it it would top out at 45 mph it didn't have a 2 speed rear end mine is army green and rusty. I changed the rear end to a 2 speed axle mine has budd wheels and a 360 stage 1 small block Chrysler engine it will run 10 mpg hauling 26000 lbs.
10mpg is a lot better than I would have expected. The 360 I had in my crew cab was lucky to get 10mpg running empty.
6V53's fit in there nicely.....
I like my hearing though. lol
BigMan
NICE RIG
LOVE IT, that is a slick rig!!
Who finish modding first you think, me or Fred? lol
@@bcbloc02
poor Fred,
thnk he’s workin with limited ability
ur mean
@@JJ-jv1gu I think both of us suffer from wanting to do more projects than we have time for. Fred will get it done eventually.
@@bcbloc02
kidding
Fred should count his blessings he has a qualified consultant :)
wish I had one 20 years ago
Nice truck...load-er up!!!
Nice looking and red. I'm guessing a Cummins swap. Good stuff Brian
Looks like new cap and wires.
Like seeing an old dodge going down the road!
Hell yea first gen puttin in work!
Not everybody just has them to look at. :-)
@@bcbloc02 yep mines gonna be put to use once I get it back on the road
What you doing to it?
@@bcbloc02 it was a d350 cab and chassis Dually so I shortened it up to a short box and put it on air ride, fixed all the body rust and now it’s almost ready for paint
5.9 and an rto 6610 would be a pretty slick tow rig!!
nice ole truck.
Well you have another big project on which to work.
'74 was a good year.
Looks like a good deal Brian. Yep, that tag axel has to go, You can always use it to build another farm trailer and haul more corn!
It sounds like hell bouncing down the road underneath there.
@@bcbloc02 I figured with a different spring than the rear axel it would not work right
Nice put in a 23000 2 speed axel .
Another project, fun.
Can never have too many. LOL
I share the same distaste for things with spark plugs. Nice old truck though. I am big fan of anything Dodge.
Glad I am not the only one. lol It is a nice old truck.
Hiya Brian
NICE ride! A pal of mine and his dad and brother had one a little older than this with a dead tandem and a Perkins in it for a log truck. I can still hear the straight pipe. And I'm sure glad Baily was with you with the murder chickens on the prowl. And he was a bit reserved, just waiting to do his own inspection to see if someone left anything inside edible and not just brake fluid. Yall be calm and gnats are out in swarms. Toots just got he bug hat out of winter storage for garden duty! GBWYall and it needs a diesel and NO cheater axle!
I agree, diesel and no tag would be an improvement.
@@bcbloc02 Put a 13-under in it. Then Baily can shift when you wear out!
I have a twin counter 7spd and a 2spd rear already in stock. :-)
@@bcbloc02 WHY does this not surprise me!!
That B engine ought to be just fine till you swap it out,
Used to see lots of Dodge grain trucks here in Ohio. I used to build grain trucks so you may want to install a bigger hinge shaft.
I am thinking something more 2" diameter would be more fitting.
Nice
The truck will be useful for hauling away the scrap iron which has collected.
Nice find Brian! I love my '92 F700, but mine came with a 5.9 cummins and airbrakes...
You already got the upgrades. :-)
@@bcbloc02 Only problem is it has an Alison automatic 5 speed (4 plus granny) and a top speed of 60mph... not sure if it would be better to swap to a manual transmission or taller rear end?
@@deathcake9000 If it takes off easy with a load and particularly if you rarely use granny because it is so slow I would suggest a rear gear swap.
Beautiful truck 👀 looks like a big load compared to the tow vehicle 👀👌
Handled it no problem. :-)
559/114. You got it I bet for a song & a dance, truck up here in salt belt at 10 years old no where be that nice.
Wouldn't surprise me you'll find a old paper bag full of C notes tuck in behind that seat.
🙊🙈🙉😉
I mean kind of, the gas tank is behind the seat and with current fuel prices even a few gallons is C notes! lol
I knew it looked weird there with that grafted axle. :))
I think that that old girl spent a lot of time in the barn in the off seasons .
A binder on each corner that's what the DOT watches for.
And 4 chains. I had it covered. :-)
Well, if the big issues are a few lights and a couple ounces of Bondo, seems like a good find.
I don't know that there is any bondo. I couldn't find any signs of any. Magnet said the hood was cracked.
Man I'd like to hear some of those spring sounds around here. Still sub zero at night.
Supposed to be 3 days back below freezing next week.
Nice truck. If that was mine, I'd probably change nothing until something breaks. That middle axle, for example, is an excellent place to haul spare wheels. Maybe lift it a little. No a/c but that why there's wing windows! That radio looks like it might be an anti-theft pull-out -- probably a few years newer than the truck. I'd get some hi-res photos of all the data plates and placards right away. Did you check the wipers? Don't want to be surprised by those when you need 'em.
A guy I know up here in Fairbanks had a Dodge truck 2-3 ton about that vintage and it came from factory with Cummins engine, truck had swing out fenders.
It is a Cummins or a Perkins? I know you could get a 354 Perkins in the C600 and they had the swing out fenders.
@@bcbloc02 it was 10 years ago I saw it. I bet it was Perkins 6-354.
Didn't realise that a fifth wheel rig could haul as heavy as that! But I am from the UK lol - our artic trucks(semi trucks) are up to 44 tonne gross with 3 axles on trailer and tractor unit with 3 axles.
I can legally go to 38000lbs gross the way my truck and trailer is tagged. My semi can go to 88000lbs out of the field hauling on 5 axles.
Probably only used during Harvest season looks really good for it’s age!!!
Even my 92 W250 with a 4 inch lift sits just as high as modern trucks.
cool!
New camera? The video seems much sharper than the last few. Thanks for the videos Brian.
It was new 3 videos ago. Have you missed some?
I hope not - must have been the light 👍from England.
That’s a truck that needs an 8.3 Cummins. That’ll be a cool swap idea.
Minty!
Hey guys, Brian here. Welcome back to the...field?
looks to me like when they put the extension on the normal racks it could easily be overloaded so the extra axle was necessary it it were mine the axle and extension would both go bye bye. I know you are a diesel guy but them old 360's had a lot of pull to them.
You have great taste in equipment! That truck will outlive all of us. I never knew Dodge had a 361, but I’ve worked on quite a few Ford 361’s, any chance there was some inter-agency collaboration?
I don't know but I bet they were made to compete directly against each other.
That is an Ag/industrial B engine. It has totally different heads than a passenger car. And, accompanying water-pump housing and exhaust manifolds. All in the name of cooling during heavy service use. Great engine. You will get borderline diesel longevity with frequent oil-changes. But, the diesel will kill it on efficiency. And no carburetor/choke to mess with all the time! I know you plan to swap gears, but if you think those 6.14s are bad now? Drop a 6b in front of them! LOL.
Yeah it would run about 50mph wide open. The diesels handle sitting long periods much better than the gas engines.
Yeah, She was a grain truck used 3 months per year and kept under cover the rest of the time. Cummins swap, 10 speed trans. decent rear on air bags .
I plan a 6 and 2 spd with air on all axles and 4wd. A guy can dream right?
bcbloc02
Why not, I can see you doing , just because you can.🙊🙉🙈😂
If u decide not to go to expense of a Cummins swap....sell me trk way it is. Lol. Nice old Dodge
