Looks like the bed and the front cap of one truck ( maybe a 56 Chevy Apache ) and the cab of another later model , looks like a nice job 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted November 28, 2022 T his one got me ....... The very 1st edition true dodge bighorn..... I didn't even know dodge came out with these.... Just too bad it was a short (VERY SHORT) production...(.2 or 3 years). And we had a ford just like this one, but a 600 best i can recall..... It was an old co-op feed bulk truck... The bed was all hydrolic operated....we took the bed off... Shortened the frame, and made a goose neck / fuel combo truck out her she was 4 speed two speed rear with a very small industrail inline 6 cylinder .... And a 32 foot duel tandem we hauled round bales, plus square baled straw to the co-op in columbia .... I spent alot time driving that rig certain times of the year......we ended up selling her to a collector ..... I hope she's been re done and now is a show truck... He used to keep in touch with us.... And over time..... We lost contact with hi and . This guy is very serious about his collection.... Some of these trucks have been in some famous movies back in the day.....but that old dodge got my attention. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Wilson_™ 6,566 Posted November 28, 2022 Some of those cab over units..... Also I've never see before.....truly rare treasures ...... I would think Jay Leno may know some of these collectors ..... Especially in that 1st video... A couple of those trucks (1st video) are used in the movie Hoffa with Jack Nicholson ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
