    I was surfing the inter-web and came across a 1989 Mack RD688S vin#2M2P141C1KC007994 for sale. It is a dump truck and I was surprised it was so light spec'd according to the right up. Front Axle Weight 12,000 lb Rear Axle Weight 38,000 lb Most of the RDs I see posted are a lot heaver with double frames 44K or 46K rears , 14K to 20K fronts 8LL trans or 10 speeds. So I suppose the bigger question would be what is the difference between this RD and a R? As this one seems to have similar specs to my old 1980 R road tractor.

    Check the u bolts and spring pads, more than likely they are loose. There is a reason that the axle cracked, check around the spring pad for cracks.

    I think it depends on year and engines my 78 mounts on the frame like yours and connects to the front of the radiator but it has a cummins and a different radiator than a Mack or Cat motor.

    Nice looking truck and colors. Why does the stripping go at an angle on the door are they paving contractors so it looks like a road?

    Check out RanchHopper he had some and could ship them for cheaper that you could probably get them mounted for.

    I got a 250k torpedo heater if you want to borrow it. You will be able to work in your underwear outside just have to point it at you.

    Good example Vlad. I am sure it also has something to do with how heavy the front end is also, if it is a 12k front axle it will sit a lot different than a 20K especially with no load and not worn out.

    The old R looks good going to work

    Not sure how many of you have HBO but I record this and watched it last night "VICE Special Report: Fighting ISIS" Some of it is on youtube and you can see some at the HBO website.

    I bet a local upholstery place would sell some, there is a place online that sells it but it the shipping that kills it. This is where I was going to buy it before I found National Fabric. I purchased all the material for the Superliner at Hancock Fabric, they sell remnant vinyl for $5 a yard and have 60" headliner materiel, was less expensive than National and a lot closer. Make sure to by the heavy mil automotive grade, you will be able to tell. You can sew on a regular HD sewing machine, just take your time. http://www.perfectfit.com/15347/Chipboard-Car-Panelboard.html

    Here in KC #1 MOTOR CAST is $120 a ton so maybe $175 is all its worth with the transmission

    Wouldn't pay anymore than scrap unless it turns over and you need it, I am sure that it was pulled after something went wrong or the truck was plumb worn out, being a pit truck probably not an easy life if driven like the trucks I have seen in pits over the years. Load them up till it spills off the sides than wide open up the hill to dump

    I have not come across any that weren't cores or to much money. I have been looking for a bus, 1 ton, med duty truck. Most of the engines are pulled and sitting on the ground and it's a crap shoot, they all have rebuilt pumps and low milage but no paper work or ability to fire one up. That is why I was excited about the 671 as it runs and yard drives. Guy has a bus for v sale with a 5.9 and automatic I think he wants to much maybe not maybe I am to cheap.
