220cummins Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 This might have been addressed before but I can't find it by searching or in the wiki pages. I'm redoing a 1978 dm for a customer and I was wondering if the truck should have a gold dog on the hood? Talking with the man who has redone more than a couple handfuls of dm in various years (my old man) he said it varied. I know the gold dog meant all Mack and Maxidyne I just wondered it if applied here to this one. The truck has 237 lohole 6spd and 44k camelback. The current bulldog is pitted chrome and has seen better days so it needs replaced.

57 bcr Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Should still be gold,220. In '78 a chrome bulldog would have meant Thermodyne,Scania, or vendor power. 237 (ENDT-675) + 6 speed=a gold ...... 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Superdog Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Was this truck a glider kit? That would explain the chrome Bulldog that's on it. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34887-gold-bulldog/#findComment-235429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Thanks guys, No its a straight serial number DM685S36780 no "GK" The truck was repainted about 20 years ago and think parts were swapped.
