  1. That is a truck to be proud of ! Very nice.
  2. Very good ! I like it. Thanks for the pic.
  3. I see the nice superliner float was at Mayfield and Hwy 50. It parks very close to that area. One day I will go grab a good pic for you. Maybe we could get pics of the new Pinnacle
  4. Beautiful truck ! Is that the Clifford show?
  5. AYE! Standard equipment on anything I own. Mine are not as fancy as Leversole though. Nice job looks good.
  6. Happy birthday trash hauler ! I'm having a couple of rum and cokes for ya. Cheers !
  7. I think it is great that you are thinking about the previous owner when you are doing your restoration. Imagine how happy he will be to see his old girl on the road again. Some of us get pretty attached to our trucks, when you spend a lot of time in them, you can't help but get attached. So when you see it heading down the road , you hope its to a better place, not the scrap yard. Looks to me, that B30 has a great new home! Thanks for sharing your restoration with us. Keith
  8. My 1986 RD688s tri-axle dump. E6 350 4v with an 8LL trans 4.42 rears Trim Level III interior
  9. in our part of the world we need 5 chains on a skid steer like that , one one each corner and one one the bucket. They say if it is quick attach, like that one will be, it needs to be tied down. ……Extreme in my opinion……. but I would certainly have chains on it, even if I was going a block down the road.
  10. Thanks for your input everyone. Might be the question that has no answer.
  11. Thanks for the input so far. All 3 of mine are Oakville Ontario trucks. I'm 99 percent sure they all have original hoods. The RD's do for sure. I'm starting to think it is the year? Maybe the natural progression was a metal bezel, then to a plastic bezel, then to simplify things, no bezel. It is possible that the older R's I see without a bezel have replacement hoods... Possible?
  12. My curiosity has got the best of me. My 85 and 86 RD hoods have an extra plastic bezel? around the headlight. But my 88 R does not. My first thought was the hood changed because of the year. Since I have started to look I have seen older R's without the bezel . My next thought was that it was an RD thing. The extra bezel, bucket? might make the hood a little stronger in rough environments. But I have seen a lot of strait R's with them, so that doesn't seem right either. Could someone shed some light on this for me. Thanks Keith
  13. Great pics !! thanks for sharing You had been gone for a bit I noticed…..thought you had gone to get your DMM.
  14. Thanks for the pics!! You shouldn't have trouble selling it, looks like a good truck
  15. Don't get discouraged, your truck looks great!!!! When you get to show it off a little, you will realize the time and $$$$$ are worth it.
  16. Thanks for the input guys. If I am ever lucky enough to get a new bumper, I would gladly give you the old one J_martel. Keith
