60's Dodge dump

[james j neiweem]

While looking through the latest issue of wheels of time there was an article about a gentlemen and his small fleet of assorted dump trucks. One was a side view of a 66-68 3 axle dump. It had the Dodge hood of that era and the article said it was a Dodge. If you look at the cab it looks identical to the CA67 R model. Did Sheller Globe use the R model cab in the Dodges of that era. Since there weren't that many dodges of that size around this may have went under the radar. After exploring the internet this may have been a Mack with a Dodge hood.

Look close at the door bottom and body line, and the curved automotive type windshield. I see the standard Dodge cab used on most of their trucks through the '60s.

Here's the best example I could find, a little different point of view. I concur, the rear door shape and roofline resemble a Mack R.

Oh you mean the W of T article where the author calls a Ford LTS (or LTA) 9000 an "LN 8000 with a 400 HP 3406 Cat"???  Two wrongs-"8000s" were mid range powered and the LN was a short BBC- not a 106" like the set back axle LTS/LTAs.  In any case I also don't think that Dodge was a 1966.  I believe  by 66  that conventional cab shown in the picture was replaced by the "C" series cab with swing out fenders as posted by Underdog.

Also don't believe that Dodge cab had anything to do with an R model.

The Dodge cabs were based on the late 1950's Basic Design Mopar Corporate cabs used from 1/2 ton pick up all the to the OTR units.

the one on the farm did not have the windshield that stuck into the door like that, it had th e"square doors". 

also has a 190 cummins  with a duplex trans and swing fenders.

As said, that is an incorrect year for the truck. According to the Dodge Trucks book it is a 58, 59, or 60 model. The cab was used on the low-cab-forward C model and then the Bighorn until Dodge quit building large trucks in 1975. The dump truck is a conventional D model and those used a different cab from 1961 onward.  There were no heavy duty and few medium conventionals built after the LCF  C model came out.

The Winchester Va. show always has a large turn out of that style Dodge Forward look cabs. Same cab even was used on the Big Horn.  Last photo is mine. 361 Polysphere Semi Hemi V-8 gasser, 5 & 2  with 2 speed rear.    Paul

Here is a tough looking one.  With a Farr air cleaner and possibly an 8-71.

 

 

I always liked the late 1960's larger D-models, but there weren't many of them.

I can recall seeing only one with tandem axles, a straight truck. It had a black vinyl roof like was seen on some of the deluxe Dodge pickups at that time.

This all reminds of an older article in The Mack Bulldog about a gentleman who built a mini R-model on a Dodge chassis, a believe it was a D300.

FOR SURE -8V-71.  Most of ours were NH 250's but in the end we did have a couple of 8Vs.  The cab was higher-larger radiator.

Couple of toughies. 

I think the AWD mixer was concerted by Sicard.

Second is a converted car hauler. 

10 wheel A-700  is the last. Kemp had a few 6 wheel A-700 trucks.   Paul
