The Bigdog Kenworth show truck is up for sale

Thanks I work @ Detroit Diesel and have built many series 60's in my 20 yrs. And Reaper is correct the company was originally GM Diesel (way back) then changed the name to Detroit then sold the company to Roger Penske who sold it to Daimler Chrysler and when the split happened Diamler kept us because of our profitability thats all

My question wasn't about the pedigree, it is the series. We have ran the 71 and 92 series in our boats for along time. Always seem to have alot of trouble with the heads and valves. Some people blamed it on the high sulfur fuel that we used. We swithced over to the cats (34, 35, and 3600 series with a few John Deeres mixed in. We are still running a few of the older GM--Detroit smaller engines-- just no 60 series. Yes it is getting harder to find a 2-71 head

kinda pricey for such an old truck. I did love driving trucks withe DD60 in it. Lots of power and sounded great.

This was my last one and very proud of it but it is no where near the BDM truck, at least not in looks. I had a V-8 Cat, 525 with a 6x4 gear box. Ran like the wind. So sorry to here about this. Kind of like the very end to a great era!

Now Sir, that is a real truck!!!

They should have kept the truck and trailer together!!!! Buy the package and turn that baby into a camper/toy hauler!!!!

The 60 series isn't a two stroke like the old 53,71,or92 v series. It's a four stroke inline 4,or 6 cyl. motor. They have a pretty good reputation.
