Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Here is a F 700 that an old friend of mine has and used it for moving house trailers. It has seen better days but would be some good parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Here is a photo from the back. Air ride? didn't think it was avaliable back in the day?That is an aftermarket add on air ride conversion. I can't remember the name of it now. If Paul VanScott comes along, he will know as they purchased one for a B67 truck they were rebuilding. Damn, my mind the second thing to go, and I can't remember the first.......Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Ya got to be hungry before breakfast gets ready. Eight hours is a long time without food and drink even when your asleep.

Snoring usually causes the need for grub.mikeI have only slept 5.5 hours per night no matter how tired I am for over 20 years. I have adapted and overcome the "munchies" but it's taken a long time. A couple double quarter pounders 1/2 hour before bed and I'm good to go. "Momma" got me this real nice pair of velveteen nostril openers and she says it helps my snoring quite a bit. Never really bothered me much so never thought about it.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Did this type of air ride really help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I've never driven a truck with it installed. It actually uses the air bags instead of the spring leaves to take the load. The springs are left in place only to locate the axle and the rear of them "float" in the weldments as the rear spring hangers are done away with.Ride quality? I really don't know.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullhusk Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I got a buddy of mine that bought a CO Brockway with a sleeper, now listen to this, the truck is a factory V12!! The cab is shotttttt!! so he did take the cab off, but I think the truck would look better with a day cab? But he wants to find a sleeper cab!.... This would be the perfect clone! what do you think?BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
