dds92780 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 No it was a farmers truck and it sat in his barn for 3 years, which is why i had to do a ton of repairs and maintenance this year but its all good. Here is a pic of when i first got it this july Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

jakebrake86 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Nice looking trucks, man. Are those Fruehauf trailers? Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28944-hello-everyone-i-wanted-to-show-my-r/#findComment-152261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dds92780 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Yes they are. The one i currently haul with is from 1980 and my dad bought for 3000 in year 2000 and had it rebuilt completly for around 20000, i bought the trailer 3 years ago, it still has the original floor and i put an 1/8 inch steel floor in it Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

jakebrake86 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I gotcha. I'm about to swap 3 loads of gravel to a farmer for a '79 model steel fruehauf that looks just like yours. Some of the curved ribs are rotted out at the bottom, but the floor is straight as can be. I don't think it ever hauled anything but beans and a load of gravel here and there.

Mikesbucketlistmack Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Did you say it was an "R 300" ? I heard of an R 400, but never a 300. Does it have a smaller engine ?

jakebrake86 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 # loads of rock for a dump trailer? Damn I cant find one under 20 grand around here wtf?Well it's a project. Probably hasn't been pulled in five years or more. We settled on $1800 or 3 loads of sb2 delivered.

Does it have a smaller engine ?Mike the truck pictured with the western hood was my old truck. Nothing wrong with it. Just decided to try another business and when i got back in, knew i wanted an R and not a CH. Not sure why i didnt want air ride but thats what i chose.The older one had a smaller engine and blew black if i hammered it. I had it perfected to whenever i shifted i would ease into the throttle and then after 3 seconds floor it, and it would get no smoke. It was a 300 horse E6 4V. Redlined at 2300Current one goes to 1800 and makes 31 psi Quote Slow and Steady Wins the Race!

rsb502 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Sounds like you gave it just enough time to build boost to keep the excess fuel from being wasted(smoke), the E7 350 should treat you good I have run a few of em and never had any major issues. I do love an R model too, I have run several tri axle R's always wanted to try an R with a dump trailer but ended up with an RW and a CH, take care of it looks like a great work truck.
