They were out of Georgia and 2 of the best looking trucks there.I always liked the looks of the Bighorns. They were ahead of their time in looks, like a Diamond T, and were a better looking truck than most of the trucks on the road today. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Cummins H,NH NTC,V555,& 903's also Detroit 6-71 & there V6 & V8 71's. The C model in the pic. has a 318 Detroit you'll notice the cabs were raised so those bad boys could fit under the hood, the fenders also swung out for E/Z access I have a C900 with a 413 gas motor 5 speed & 2 speed DR rear they were good strong trucks BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The things you can learn here! That reminded me of this article i'd read about the first Bighorn. I'd never put 2 and 2 together before, but it was indeed written by Tony Youngblood.This blue Bighorn was at Troutman too but either the year before or after the 2 900 models were.

joes mack Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 the 900s look just like the one that my great uncle had. (except not that nice) and his was a coal truck with a 20 foot dump bed. the last tine i saw his truck after he sold it it was a log truck and that was about 15 years ago and havent seen it sence.

41chevy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) These were built by Dodge with FWD noses for a new car hauler. They did this so the engine was accessable with the tractor mounted car rack.

Bobby Covert Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Here in Lexington, Kentucky, when Deans Mack sales was sold and became Lexington Mack, they also sold Dodge trucks. As a teenager, I remember sitting in one of those Bighorns and watching the special guest of the night. It was Junior Samples of Hee Haw fame. Where did all that time go?

Phase 1 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 These were built by Dodge with FWD noses for a new car hauler. They did this so the engine was accessable with the tractor mounted car rack.4435041467_f3c4423eeb_z.jpgdodge.jpgThat may have been the case with the upper picture, I have seen that one before and I think it was shop built by an auto transporter. The standard C model was also used for auto carriers. The supports were placed so the fenders would swing.The lower photo was originally one of the Clark Transport Trucks. They wanted the conventionals so the upper rack would be lower.https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSTk-lXyie0zPSLDc28uWFjlH3KwAYBJZf9GStQqrGpapvKos6Cqg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
