Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted December 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2014 I ran up on this old Value Liner on craigslist down in Mississippi this weekend and went and drove her 125 miles back home Sunday. E6 350, T2090, 4.17 Mack carriers on Neway Air ride. It's going to take a little TLC but overall she's pretty straight. The driver's side muffler rotted out on top and the stack blew off, so I'm in the process of putting a couple of new mufflers on it. 1 15 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38042-new-project-1986-rs-688-lst/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakebrake86 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well, I'd like to straight pipe it, but I've got to figure out a way to make the mounting brackets and grab handles work. Plus, a couple of mufflers only set me back $150 for now. 2 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38042-new-project-1986-rs-688-lst/#findComment-269735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Maddog13407 Posted December 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2014 nice save. good thing you got it and not some used truck salesman that would rip the sleeper off and add on some beat up or painted black dump box on it and send it overseas. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38042-new-project-1986-rs-688-lst/#findComment-269796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakebrake86 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 I plan on pulling a 22' steel dump trailer with it, but Superdog already made me promise to leave the bunk on it. I just looked and it has a Mack part #85QS42 P4 serial #DM2 2537 1085, so I reckon it must be factory.

Maddog13407 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 about the only thing id change is the two spoke wheel and those god awful western POS battery box covers than you cant stand on without falling on your ass..

jakebrake86 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 My thoughts, exactly. I've got a perfect white three spoke I'm going to rob out of my western F model, and new battery box covers are on the to do list.

b61mack Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 PeterMack I remember seeing those Deans Foods R model Macks running around. I used to see some R models with big aerodyne bunks on them, they were nice looking trucks.

57 bcr Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Nice looking V-L! Looks like a little TLC (and you the new proud owner) is all it needs! Congrats!! Those DFC R's with the aerodyne bunks were part of a small fleet that leased to Deans,Ron. They actually belonged to Werhane Enterprises of Lena,Il. A member of our local ATHS chapter (Northwest Illinois),Rich Johnson used to paint,pinstripe, and letter most DFC owner/operator and small fleet trucks (including the Werhane fleet). DFC had quite a few trucks running for them at one time out of Huntley,Ill. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
