Nice find, I was also curious about the the drom glad you got that one too.

That was an Air Force truck that was used for some prototype engine drive train it to was on one of the govt auctions

Looks really clean a good shampoo and armor all and a day buffing bet would really be a looker. Good starter truck for a budget

Sweet looking truck, i like the tag axle old school

Great find, going to a good home that is for sure

That is in Jetters neck of the woods at that price I am sure he will grab it up.

Looks like the weather was nice for your trip. When you wash that thing? Its looks as dirty as the old one!

Find a nice 4" muffler to put under the cab. (that will give you the straight pipe look) About the only time the window is not down is when it is 30 degrees out, even then its to load after 5 minutes. My 59 with 4" straight is very loud and makes me not want to drive it a lot plus you have to wear hearing protection. If I was driving it to all the shows instead of hauling it it would have probably 3 mufflers on it. Sounds cool and gets lots of looks when running and cruising around an event, but if you want to drive anywhere you need a muffler or double layer the dynomat over the entire cab and doors.

Excellent Job, keep the pictures coming want to see that dump body fix and paint and put back together and then the first load!

Well just got home with it and although it is not new it is straight with new suspension components. Now it is my turn to work some magic, need to get the s cams freed up, 6 new slack adjusters and couple brake cans. Rewire with new lights and replace the rear bumper and make some new ramps and cover the wheel wells add some planks and paint and it will be all done. pulling up to get her Hooked up had to find some dunage laying around to chock the wheels Checking lights ready to go Headed out the gate I would recommend this trailer repair company / shop (Jim Hawk Trailer), they stayed on budget, did quality work and when I asked about fixing a couple extra things they did. They also had no problem with me stopping by and seeing what they had done. I also was impressed that I did this as an individual and not a trucking company and they treated like I was there largest account. I have done business with a few truck part places around KC that have different prices and treat you different weather you have an account or not, usually with higher prices and less service..

Nice!

They are the fabricated ones. I think for my use they will hold up well hauling trucks and tractors around. They called last night said it was ready but did not have my bill ready, called a little bit ago and they are still figuring it out, hopefully they are still trying to figure in a discount!

Are both axles close to that? If so start looking at front springs. By the way what size tires are on the rear axle, intermediate axle and front axles?

I will admit it I am getting to old to jack around with all that heavy stuff and I dyed my beard!

I can't believe you!!!! No Pictures!!!!!

Thanks all for the thoughts. I just got this today from the UPS man looks like I have some work to do (6 tires) but hopefully it will be a little easier with this stuff. I normally use a 4 ton floor jack to lift 98% of the stuff I work on and a 12 or 20 ton bottle jack for what that wouldn't lift. The old floor jack didn't want to lift the trailer or Superliner for that matter and I crawled under that old trailer to take the wheels off the other day to chain them up and that sucked as it is hard to shimmy under so I treated myself to new 22 ton jack and tire dolly. Yea, I know they are Chinese but I went and looked at the OTC and Omega and the ones on line and they were all north of $500 for a jack. I got this from ebay and it comes with a 90 money back and was only $180 with free shipping. I put it together and lifted the Superliner several times this afternoon and let it set to see if it would leak down and it seems to work fine. The quality doesn't seem to be any better than the ones I looked at in person in fact other than the color they look the same. I figure when it craps out I will just replace the bottle jack portion with a new one. The wheel dolly seem to be the same as the OTC that they use at the Speedco and petro

Thanks for the well wishes. The trailer should be ready in the morning, but so is the bill, they did end up going a little over budget keeping my fingers crossed.

I love that sound track than it fades into sirens and explosions

yep pretty happy!

After my wifes' chemo appointment today, (last official chemo treatment after more than 12 months, but she still has to get shots monthly) I took her by to see the trailer and what they have done. Frame is all straight now and they are working on alignment. I am having them replace anything on the suspension that might be questionable and after inspection they said the equalizers and front hangers were the only thing that was in need of replacement, plus three radius rods as the bushings were worn out. Looks like when the previous owner did work to it, the others radius rods were replaced with the brakes and seals.

Nice video, post more pictures so we can have a good look. So you found oil in the radiator mixed with the antifreeze correct?

According to Westfall Mack service dept it is 7 3/4" measured from the bottom of the frame to axle housing I asked for 1998 CH613 based from your avitar info

Call the dealer service department they should be able to give you that info without charging you

That's about scrap price and looks like it is maybe missing stuff from the one picture and would probably just be a donor. I doubt it would be restored unless Re- powered with something else. Than doesn't that detract from the value? Being in Idaho also creates a dilemma on transportation since so far for most folks. Bigdogtrucker why don't you get it and use it for your parts truck. You can hire me to go get it once my trailer is out of the shop I only charge $1 per mile from my house I figure using Google maps kc to Idaho to ga back to kc should be around $4000

Where are those pictures? Water in oil means needs motor redone and V-8 parts are expensive so maybe $1500 is more inline.
