I spoke to the owner about it he says he doesn't have a title for it and bought it years ago at an auction which does me no good in Illinois no title no license plates.

FIRST ONE I'VE SEEN, WOULD BE RARE FIND!

[doubleclutchinweasel]

Hmmm...

Wonder how that cab is...

Fairly close...

[ranchhopper]

Wonder if it was always a single axle too.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING! FIRST SINGLE DRIVE I'VE COME ACROSS.

[Superdog]

ask for the serial #,if its a R615T or LT then it was an original single axle

HEY SUPERDOG, HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE IN THE FLESH? MICK

[nasty51ford]

Tempted to make the trip up there for this one!

[farmer52]

I would be interested to know more about this truck but it is too far away. I am sure if it is legit, it will sell fast. Hmmm, a single axle V8, not your everyday cup of tea.

weasel....sounds like a road trip.

Yeah. Told my wife I should go look at it. She didn't quite understand! She said I couldn't even get rid of the one I have!

Guess she doesn't quite understand that, if the cab is good, I might restore the cab, drop it on mine, & keep it.

Or, maybe that's exactly what she understood!

[Maddog13407]

first v8 R I have ever seen. I def wouldn't take the cab off for another truck

[doubleclutchinweasel]

They made 1,381 R615 trucks between 1965 & 1971.

I drove a normally-aspirated one (END-864) years ago. It was only a little stronger-feeling than a normally-aspirated 6 (END-673) I drove in a B61 earlier.

That non-existent title may or may not be an issue. But, NC is VERY picky about such things...especially once a vehicle achieves "antique" status. The only way to buy it might be for parts. Otherwise, you may never be able to title/tag it.

It used to be that all you had to do was pay for a title search. But, now they don't even like to do that.

Now, GA is a lot easier to deal with on antique stuff. After a certain age, they no longer issue a title! Or, at least that's how they were a few years ago. May still be.

If you want to have some fun, try bringing in a GA vehicle with no title, and only a bill of sale, and try titling it in NC!

On the other hand, if I bought a good cab, good hood, and maybe a nice single-axle rear setup, it might breathe new life into my NC-titled truck! And, as a side benefit, there would be cool parts to sell to someone else out there who needed them...like maybe a running 864.

No matter. I probably won't make it out there before it sells anyway.

1381 R615's but I have never seen a single axle version ever. im betting its original. good cabs are getting hard to find. I have one and hate to part with it. they are out there tho. there is a single axle R400 up by me one Craigslist for 2800 that I think has a good cab and bad engine. one good thing about Ny is all you need is a frame picture of the serial number or a pencil etchin and a bill of sale and they will run the number, make sure no TMT is owed on it and they issue you plates.

[Bigdogtrucker]

There is a title out there for this truck somewhere,i have the serial numbers and did a little research months ago.

My R719 is a single drive. 864 twin tubo. popular setup for doubles especially belly dumps.

[umodelnut]

[PaulLowboy]

I've seen doubles behind those, now that you mention it.

That's a gorgeous truck!

Island Transportation on Long Island had a few R773 single axles they used to pull short heating oil tankers.
