I am not sure why the angle Iron except my machine mechanic may have put it there trying to not let it fall apart in the yard.

We may just use it as a shop truck to move empties.

I am getting used to this site so bear with me. If it only ran 35 mph it would be great for my application. I understand from the guy I purchased it from it would only run 55mph now. There is a local guy advertising a Mack/Hendrickson 44K suspension with 3.9 ratios for $3500. He advises the frame is bent at the fuel tank on that truck. Doesn't provide pictures of the truck. He was planning to cut the frame and sell with suspension attached is my understanding.

I have a 80 model R686ST. The frame is broken on both sides in front of the tandems. The previous owner was pulling dump trailers with it. I used it to spot log and chip trailers on a logging site. The other issue we had it was geared to high for our application. Really would like to fix frame.
