Chuck P Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I love the "high-mounts" with the filler panel below the cab. I guess it afforded them enough room for an underhood breather rather than an external one. Quote "If it's all the sime to you...

Bigdogtrucker Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 I love the "high-mounts" with the filler panel below the cab. I guess it afforded them enough room for an underhood breather rather than an external one.That's the reason.Those trucks are "HCF'S".I like them both,but prefer the cleaner LCF lines...

Joe Ditchkus Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 The reason I was told by a Dodge Truck Dealer int he 70's for the high mount cab was to be able to put an inline Cummins 855 with a turbo and the 8V-71 Detroit and 903 V-8 Cummins would not fit without raising the cab.

Popular Post fifth wheel Posted October 15, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2013 This truck was acquired from the Government, and a local town set it up for a tanker, all work was done in house. Originally an USAF fuel truck, very low miles and was in new condition,CNT900, 903, 5+4 44k's. The truck sat loaded in the station and stands were placed in the rear to relieve the tires and springs. It was replaced with a new freightliner tank truck, I was interested in this truck but it had to be offered to a Government agency before available to the public. I don't know where it went, that was about 7 years ago. FW 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Binder Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 There was a LCF in a local scrap yard a couple of years ago. It was parked sort of off the beaten path. I tried to buy it but never could get the fellow to price it. Went back about three weeks later and it was gone. I never could get an answer as to what happened to it. I heard rumors later that a couple of the employees got caught scrapping stolen vehicles. I would suspect the truck was stolen and it got sent to China. It's a shame because it was in pretty good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This is one at a farm near me, also 6-71 powered. parked 3 years ago with bad water pump. 48000 miles.

countryboy5487 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Ya and when he "gets time" he'll see its too rusty, all tires flat and the glass busted out and the itnterior ruined. Then he will want to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfesting Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 ...right after he gets done fixing the mid '60 Chevy it's parked next to. At least they can keep each other company as they dissolve into the ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Cool a Canadian built Dodge made right in plant 1 I believe in Windsor, Ont. I remember quite a few around my area when I was real young. I know of a couple or 3 around here I been trying to get my hands on both gas and diesel. Tandem and single axles, I'd like to get one to restore at some point in time. You don't see them too much anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I came across one of these a few years ago out at the Iowa 80 truck stop. It was parked out back with quite a few othertrucks all waiting patiently for a restoration. Might still be in the same spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 PeterMack The yellow Dodge looks like it could have been a Ryder CarHauler. Ryder had a lot of car haul companies as M+G Convoy, commercial Carriers and a host of others. It looks right color and wheelbase to be a Stinger.
