Well I went by the place a while back and they brought in a huge excavator with a shear on it and most everything went into big dumpsters was a couple mounds of tires left but they are gone now too . sad to see it happen . but figured it would someday hopefully a few made it out of there 😞

I got to know him a little bit ! he was a neat ole timer and if you stopped and had time he’d talk old trucks for hours they were all part of his company he said he built a lot of Rt 22 in that area and something to do with the state and money he just parked it all but nothing was for sale the few times I stopped . But a few did leave the past few years. Couple brockways and a steel dash R model with a v-8 Detroit in it it’s on you tube loading and leaving on a trailer he had lots of stuff planes too !

Yeah wonder if him and gramp finished his u model ? i remember goblins tandem b dump

Didn't he sell the truck ? i think I remember that could be wrong though

Thanks for the ratio chart ! nice info to have !

Thank you ! im pretty excited cab corners rockers and floors are all good too ! I was so surprised to see it so nice ! the owner said if you come look you will buy it he cleaned it up 2 yrs ago to have as a spare and now he’s downsizing never had to put it to work it also has all new drums shoes bearings seals cams and bushings he said he did it like he was gonna have to use it everyday very nice guy

Thanks for the info red horse ! its the 107 it’s my first r model guys keep telling me to put the 300 in it and the trxl107 not sure I will unless I don’t like it as is thanks for steering me in the right direction I really like this old truck people say I’m crazy for not getting a newer truck but I’ve always liked R models since I was a little guy
