Superdog

that truck sure looks familiar,do you know the previous owner's name? It sure looks like one I've seen in a book somewhere,had Osborne on the door if I remember right.

good luck trying to find a new one,they told me NLA. Thanks again Volvo!

not easy to see,but a bald eagle was chewing on a dead deer

Been seeing alot of these trucks at the local dealer now that the Sharkey family bought it.

Seems all I ever get done is wait. Sitting in the corn line.

Waiting on mikey to get out of my way so I can load

Waiting on another damn train

Dad and I still trucking together,this makes 49 yrs. Unloading cows at Russell,IA

Waiting to load hogs

Stopped and looked at this '77 RL600 for sale,nice shape other than the frame starting to flake where the air tanks bolted to the frame,at $12500 I didn't bring it home. Loading corn.

That should be a pretty good truck. John is a straight shooter he wouldn't misrepresent it. He drove it to Walcott a time or two. He's got a set of NOS shutters for it he got from me some years back.

Yes,they are the same door. They were to save weight,the ones on the R models were prone to cracking around the mirror brackets,the ones on F models usually held up good,mirrors didnt stick out as far and brackets weren't as heavy

I've never seen alum.doors on a Superliner. Only F and R models both east and western.

That would be about right. Mikeys red one was built Dec.1984 and it is 1232

from 1981 on all the Superliners were built in PA,but by '87 that should be a RW613,unless it was held over and not sold & titled until '87.Also there is one digit missing in the VIN.

That's a Lund visor. They made them for MH F and Cruiseliners too

you wouldn't have expected anything else from me,would you? I wish I still had the ambition to polish wheels like that again

yep

No,I wish I would have kept it,but I was young and dumb,traded it off for this truck.,'76 R600 glider kit,676 with a 2 stick 6 speed.

it looks better in the pics than it did in person,but I was proud of it,bought it on a farm sale for $975 right after my B61 burnt up in the fire. Mice had chewed the air lines under the dash ,and it wouldn't build air,drove it home 15 miles cross country with no brakes,put another $900 into it fixing what I could and went trucking. No spring brakes,hand lever brake didn't work,no headliner,I had more splices and quick fixes in the wiring and air lines that I like to admit, outlaw old school trucking at it's finest. I'm on the outside on the platform,my to younger cousins were in the trailer. I was loading at my uncle's farm,he used to grow seed corn for Pioneer.They picked it in the ear and we used open top van trailers to haul it. Alot of guys used level floor grain trailers with the sides built up,but these vans worked much better,plus we could use the same trailer to haul bagged seed in the winter and spring,that was one of the perks if you hauled the green corn in the fall.

not one bit

that tarp was a bitch to roll,it only got rolled twice a year,rolled open in the fall to seed corn picked in the ear,and rolled back closed after harvest to haul bagged seed corn.
