vision386 Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Yes Don was a "spokes person" for Dodge trucks in the late 60s and early 70s. There are a few commercials with Don on YouTube. I have an ad somewhere of Don with a cabover Dodge. I will post if and when I find it.I remember that same ad,it was a picture of Don sitting in a cabover Dodge tractor,and it said something like "tell em' Don sent you"?..................................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Green Dash Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Here's some pages from an old Overdrive which include a tractor dissection report for a 1972 Dodge cabover. It's mistakenly listed as a Ford in the page links.http://public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/truck_magazines/truck-and-trucking-/1972-overdrive-magazine/03-overdrive-magazi/ Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28511-dodge-cabover-tractor/page/2/#findComment-148000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveigou Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I had a magazine ad (but can't find it now), where Dodge had a promotion where they gave you a free pick-up truck with the purchase of a new diesel highway tractor. Seemed to me it was early 1970's. I guess it was too little - too late.

Loadstar Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Well last week I took my yearly trip to Ohio in pursuit of the elusive whitetail. When coming into the town of Zaleski off of 278 and turning right where it meets 677, I spotted a Dodge cabover tractor, single axle. It was sitting in a yard of older equipment. If anyone was looking for one, it looked to be in good condition, don't know if it is for sale, but if anyone lives in that area, maybe they can do a little leg work and check it out. I wish i had taken a picture but was in a hurry to get in the woods because my first passion is whitetails, sorry. How did you make out on your trip? ....... Any luck?

It kinda looks as if something fell off.

David Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 And the auto companies owned the transporters and used their own make of truck to pull them.There was also a major influence on the companies that worked for the auto companies. Companies like McLean here in NC hauled a lot of parts and material for GM. Their fleet was predominately GMC/Detroit.
