acem Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Thanks for posting! Many years ago a friend had a truck like this with a Cummins. AC diesel truck with extended cab style 'sleeper'. Kinda the next generation I guess. 1 Quote

Rick G. Posted May 28 Posted May 28 Kinda fugly in my opinion. They featured an IH truck like that in the 2011 movie “Real Steel”, starring Hugh Jackman. There is also a CASE IH Boxcar MAGNUM tractor shown in the movie. Filmed in part in southeast Michigan, including some downtown Deeetroit. Check it out. “Real Steel”. 1 Quote
Farmer B Posted May 28 Author Posted May 28 Its one of those trucks that grows on you, it would be very cool to drive to shows (about it). Yes, it is very tall, the owner said it is sitting on original chassis. Quote
acem Posted May 28 Posted May 28 It would make a sweet grain truck pulling a hopper bottom. Wouldn't want to live in there though. Quote

Tad Wicks Posted May 29 Posted May 29 wow that would be a project. Years ago I looked at a 1957 Dodge COE 354 Hemi 2 stick 10 wheeler with an 18 foot Aluminum Poultry feeder tank, one the most ugly trucks I have ever seen and they wanted $500 and I was to cheap to spend the bucks. Can't tell you how many times I have kicked myself for that screw up. Worst part, scrappers bought it salvaged the aluminum, sold the Hemi and scrapped the rest. RIP Dodge Quote

Emeryville CA was the town where IH built their first cabover semi tractors prior to the Transtar product line, which netted those units the name "Emeryville". I don't know where these tall cab rigs were built. Quote
Howard_P Posted May 30 Posted May 30 The Hi Binders as the DCF-400s were often called were a Fort Wayne product although I won't say none were built at Emeryville. The DCO-405 is what was known as the Emeryville. Quote

Binderoid Posted May 30 Posted May 30 Hood ornament from J.C. Whitney. If you ever want to guess the counterman's age at a heavy truck shop, take a shutterstat in and lay it on the counter. 1 Quote
