Green Dash Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 That's sharp. It looks as if the bottom edge of the door is in alignment with the seam on the bed. Maybe that influenced the builders choice. Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32867-3000-white/#findComment-207579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The had used the smaller 3000 cab from a Coke a Cola 1-2 ton delivery truck.Brocky, all White 3000 series cabs were the same size. The later ones sat higher for more engine clearance and had a different shaped fender but ALL cabs were the same. There were different dashes. I verified this information with Roland Smith (the great White father).

Green Dash Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 And "suicide Whites".I know someone that died in one, but not exactly a suicide. A driver and his buddy were on the BQE and a truck in front of them hit an overhead sign and they ran into either the truck or the sign, the buddy was killed. I'm not sure if it could've been avoided but it later found that they were stoned off their asses.

Unless it was repowered it is a White engine. I do not know if the number is visible even with the cab tilted.

PeterMack Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thats neat. A friend of mine put a truck together for a friend of his. He used a Dodge dually bed on this project. Turned out niceI thought. Have not seen the truck out since it was finished though. Took this pic May 2011. Probably collecting dust in a garage. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32867-3000-white/#findComment-240171 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHfred Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 That White/Dodge is a nice looking truck. Most of those pick ups I don't like because they look out of proportion or something.

RRJordan Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Fishbowl, suicide, bubblenose, and some other names! I rode shotgun in one with a friend driving during a strike.

BillyT Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 My dad had a white dump truck like the conventional, had a two stick, I was a little kid at the time, I remember how solid the fenders were, might have been 16 gauge! Both pickups look high quality!The 3000 looks factory, but I'd have preferred stainless mirrors.
