Rare 1976 Dodge Bighorn Semi Truck
My dad bought this 1976 Dodge Bighorn semi truck at an auction a few years ago, and I helped him overhaul it. It's a rare truck - only 250 were ever made, and there are only about 50 still in existence today in the U.S. We figure this truck is worth about $50,000.

Rare 1976 Dodge Bighorn Semi Truck TRUCKS Miscellaneous 26-2-35 My dad bought this 1976 Dodge Bighorn semi truck at an auction a few years ago, and I helped him overhaul it. It's a rare truck - only 250 were ever made, and there are only about 50 still in existence today in the U.S. We figure this truck is worth about $50,000. These trucks were built in 1975 and 1976, but when Chrysler started having financial problems in 1976, they quit making them. It's powered by a 400 hp Cummins diesel engine. A lot of people don't know that Dodge ever made a semi truck this big. We use the truck all the time to haul grain. My dad bought a second model for spare parts.
We also own a 1967 Dodge semi truck that we bought used and fixed up. It's equipped with a tilt cab. We use it with a low-boy carrier deck to haul liquid fertilizer tanks and to haul a bull dozer. This model isn't rare - thousands were made from the early 1960's to 1976. However, there probably aren't too many still in active use.
