Someone finally bought it and leased to Branch. That was late 60's / early 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoos Brothers Construction Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 The reason I ask is because I know were there's a RS795LST for sale [and yes it still has the V8!]that I would like to get and I was wondering as to how rare it is and how many were made.Rob, I just seen the pictures of your RL797 and your RL755. Do you have any other pictures of them? Thanks, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another is loaded but the hard drive is belly up and I"ve got to pay to have many files extracted.Since I flunked out of cosmetology school, with manicure and pedicure as main course of study, I learned how to take photos to post on BMT.

bullhusk Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Rob I noticed you have a dual wheel P/U & A nice trailer, can you tell me what kind of a set up you have. And do you think I could pull a trailer like yours with a 3500 Dodge Diesel single wheel,or maybe a super single tire if there is such a thing? Thanks Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ErnieHi Ernie, the truck is my "trusty, yet crusty Dodge". It is a V10 gasoline engine with automatic transmission. The trailer was not mine but belonged to Morgan Heaton, (B61 Fred) here on the board. I borrowed the trailer to bring that one home. I borrowed that trailer several times to drag "projects" back to the shop. A manual transmission would have performed better with this much weight I know as would have a diesel engine, but the truck was purchased new to be my daily driver and I wanted an automatic. Also didn't want to listen to a diesel engine making noise in that application.I have pulled trucks home using both single, and dual rear wheels on pickup trucks. For the amount of pulling that truck has performed through the years I have no regrets with purchasing the dual wheels. It is much more stable in turns, and side loads from wind. I would do the same if purchasing another light truck.One of my Macks will replace the Dodge sometime next year.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 rob what transmission does that r 797 have in it??Ten speed Mack, TRDL107, (I think). It shifts like a 12 speed Mack transmission by splitting gears.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

bullhusk Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Thanks for the info Rob, I had a V10 for 6 years before i got the Diesel I liked that truck but i had too put plugs in it @ 35000 mi an when i sold it it had 140000 on it an it did not burn a drop of oil. GG2 front is 5200 & the rear is 6200 so it gives me a combo of 11400.On Tuesday I rented a 38ft. 2 car trailer & went from Jersey to Pittsburgh Pa.to P/U two 1965 Dodge Coronet 500's less motor & trans.but complete body & interiors the truck handled well,but i have to agree with Rob about the automatic trans.if your gona tow anything big & heavy a stick is the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
