    The Bighorn is a 950, we have a 900 at the farm. NHC 250 Cummins, 13 speed. Great for 'round the farm and the odd trip.
    Some pics and a vid of it going through the gears and up a nice hill. (the bumper's off 'cause were taking the rad out now to fix it)

    Here are a couple of pictures of a Dodge I drove in the mid 70's. It had a 318 Detroit with a 4X4 Spicer air shift. I pulled an end dump coal bucket in southeastern ohio.

    I know it dosn't, the Bighorn is a CNT 950, this one is a CNT 900.
    In the pic, the truck on the right is a 900 and the left one is a 950
