This page is dedicated to really big Dodges, mainly the LCF series. At the bottom of this page are some links to a couple of other web pages with more info on Dodge semi trucks.

This truck is powered by a Caterpillar 1150 series 570 cubic inch V8 diesel which was a special order option from Dodge starting with 1973. It has a five speed manual transmission going to a two speed Eaton rear axle. While Dodge used fender tags on it's cars to show which options were delivered with the vehicle they did not do that with the big rigs. Instead Dodge put a sticker on the inside of one of the fenders to show which options came with the truck from the factory. Check pic 8 to see what's left of the sticker from this truck.

This truck has a secondary serial number on her that was issued by a company called Bock Products. From what I've been able to tell Bock Products took the Dodge chassis and cut the frame down to a 122 inch wheelbase and put the gear on the back so she could tow mobile homes. I believe she was brought up to Alaska to move mobile homes in support of the building of the Alaska pipeline. When I found this truck it had been sitting in the back of a shipping company's lot in Anchorage, Alaska, for about 6 years. With the help of four new 6 volt batteries she fired up and I was able to drive her home after I plugged a couple of holes in the air tanks for the brakes. She has very little rust but really needs a paint job and windshield. As I gather more info on the history of this truck I will add it to this page.
