    I have had very bad luck as well with exide . They are going out of business. I sell napa batteries at my shop and have had very good luck so far.

    Thanks Jim ! I put my heart and soul into building that truck . It is nice to see people who know how much it takes to make a truck look like that. Now I have to get my rs 700 looking like that that's my next truck I'm going to do one for myself to enjoy !

    The truck I am referring to with factory aluminum rails is not the one in the pic but a different truck we did. It had complete aluminum rails front to back . We changed them and put brand new complete steel rails in it one complete rail front to back. They were factory oem frame rails we ordered. They come pre drilled back to the fuel tanks and the rest were drilled by hand . The one in the picture originally had 1/4in steel rails in it .I put in two new oem steel rails in that truck 3/8in thick the truck is a rw600 the customer wanted the 700 rails installed in it that is what the one in the pics has in it

    Yea the cab had red headliners . And sleepers had white that's what I wrote I agree

    Cool truck I like it! What's the old binder sittin beside it? That looks interesting to
  14. Mack man 1973
    The interior color is right all magnums came with red interior if it had a sleeper the headliners were white on magnum models only. The seats are correct and have the magnum logo in the seats. Yea truck paper always list Mack's with wrong info I've seen ch listed as r model and so forth. I have done two complete ground up restorations on magnums both were 1985 models . I'll have to post pics of the sometime both are show winners . I have a guy wanting me to do a rw liberty edition restoration think I'm going to pass on that one she is rough

    Looking for a good dry van box don't care if has metal or frp sides as Long as roof is good. Want it for a storage shed in 16 ft to 28' range close to northwest ohio

    The key is cool ! I have the same original key with my rs. Don't be afraid of the v8 they are great if you take care of them. That's what gives it the cool factor a dm with a cummins takes the cool factor way down plus the v8 sound is like music to your ears
