RFCDrum Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Gary Wiggers used to be a die hard traditionalist and had 11r24 rubber for years and just in the past couple of years he went to 12r24.5 tubeless. He still uses the old school style Bristol Donald with the old style heated body vents. When he used to hire trucks his old man used to load us with a 963 cat track loader and keep putting it on until it spilled off the sides. I think he still thought it was the 1960's in Bergen County LOL. By the way this was only about 5 to 6 years ago. We were running new style rd's with 58 rears 18 fronts Bristol Donalds and 11r24's and we were sweating it out with the weight pulling out of his jobs.

Seems I remember them back in the 70's-80's?BrockyYa know thats a good question?? Dahn was the house trucker for Lime Crest in Sparta so I'm sure he did, I do know that he also hauled gas an diesel, as a matter of fact I think he rolled one on RT-80 back in the early 90's that caught fire and damaged the overpass and road way and shut down that section of 80 for a long time, and from what I been told the damage was far greater then his ins. could cover! So I don't think he ever recovered, so I've been toldBULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29202-jersey-macks/page/10/#findComment-160871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCDrum Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Bullhusk, I think if you ran heat on the Bristol Donalds they would rust out in the channels. One of the best bodies to pave with though. The last big tandem I drove was a 99 rd688sx 350 etec 8ll fuller, 58 rears 18 front, 11r24 tube type rubber for L.Demarino from Ramsey. The body was Bristol Donald T1 1/4 inch floor T1 sides and T1 3/8's gate 8 panel. The only thing the 8 panels would crack better to go 9 or 12 pointed ribs.
