I AGREE W/ Herb (hk )& Trent (l mackattack)& WV Dog are all right in the soft ground ya cant beat a Camelback next to a camelback is a walking beam & rubberblock suspension in the soft ground imop I MYSELF , MY DAD OR MY GREAT UNCLE OR GRANDDAD HAVE NEVER OWNED A TRUCK W/ AIRRIDE SUSPENSION & NEVER WILL Even my tractor trucks were camelback on the & either rubber block or walking beams on the GMC Brig, 9500, & Generals & Autocars (all pre volvo ) Just like my dump trucks NEVER Owned a truck w/ Chalmers but herd it was a preety good suspension & as Trent mentioned w/ a airride cab on camelback it sure helps smoothing out some rough spots in the field The truck im currently driving for a buddy of mine is a 86 DM W/ 300 Maxidyne 2 stick 6spd & 44k camelback on double frame w/ 16' bed & it will walk through hell & back in the field . The 91 ' R Model tractor im buying in the spring has 44k camelback & is running everday pulling either Containers in the winter or a lowboy, log or dump trailer in the spring . & i know the owner & the driver both of this truck & the mantience history of this truck since new 1 driver since new too the truck in my avatar was my truck i owned w/ my granddad it had a 300 Ecodyne 2stick 6spd on double frame & 38k on 44k camelback springs (was the suspension set up when we bought it ) & it was a awsome truck i wish i didnt have to sell it but due to probate court ordered EVERYTHING SOLD i had no chose I have seen a CONVERTED DUMPTRUCK THAT HAD AIRRIDE UNDER IT FLIP Due to driver forgot to dump bags & when it fliped he had 16' of bed in the air w/ 25tons of Riprap on the truck the driver was alright but had to have a change of Levi's after the fact he now owns a KW T800 W/ Chalmers suspension . just my 2 cents yall & yall have a goodone bulldog or aka
