lookee what i found!



i think with the exceptional shape of this truck i may paint it back to these colors. it even comes with a full set of aluminum split rims and the chrome splits on the front. aluminum headache rack as well and lots of goodies! mack v-8's in both (i looked under fenders) but not sure of tranny's.

Cool! I like it because it's kinda long. Would be a good place to put an 8V92 Detroit.

it already has the mack v-8 in it. would be great to get a v-12 detroit and throw in ther . go to youtube and look at"big james log truck" it has a v-12 as well. this one is a lowboy rig judging by the ramps on the tail. i have a 1972 peerless lowboy(fixed neck) that will go great with it along with a 1970 case 400 skid king log skidder that i'm going to restore as well and try to get done by february next year for the oregon loggers conference.

If 'gold' motors, then they're ENDT-865's (Maxidyne) & should have 5 or 6 sp. Maxitorque's in them. If 'grey' motors, they're ENDT-866's (Thermodyne) & could have Mack 10 sp., Fuller or any trans. that works with a conventional torque rise motor! Color of V8 hood emblem (if original) is an easy give-a-way......gold for the 865 & chrome for the 866! Model # plate on inside of LH door would say RL795LST for a chassis with the 865 & RL797LST for one with the 866.

Super find though......buy 'em both!!
