rsb502 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 20 Frt 30 rear? Geez that's a heck of a single axle what are you planning to gross? A PX8 I'm guessing at 350hp so that makes it a Cummins 8.3 or 8.9 I can't remember anymore.

refusegetter Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 It's a heavy unit empty, it's a split body so twice as many packer parts. This week we'll see what the weights are, and the kids are swinging off the back like we still do in RI. We're old school, still using carry barrels and going in backyards for the trash/recycling. It's got the paccar 350hp and yes the fronts are 315 80r22.5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32354-new-truck-is-almost-done/#findComment-201952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
