Popular Post r686st Posted January 19, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2015 As most of you know I've been on the hunt for an air ride RW. JakeBrake86 told me about the guy he bought his western R from and that he had an RW for sale so I called. I made a deal with him, but had to wait for the title before I could pick it up. The title came in last week so I went Friday with a wrecker to pick it up. It's a '92 with a 350, Eaton Fuller 9, Mack air ride/axles and supposedly 4.17's. I'm super excited and can't wait to fix it up. Plans include: tires, rims, dual exhaust, shocks, wheel seals, trim pieces, bumper, paint and body work , all fresh fluid and filters throughout, as well as a lot of TLC. 13 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottwetzel Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 That old girl needs some work. Saving any superliner is worth it tho. Not sure if you know any salvage yards in your area but there is a nice one down here in florida in case you may want to replace some of those parts. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/#findComment-274934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Great find, see if you can find someone that does on site aluminum polishing. Just having all the aluminum polished out will make a huge difference and I bet you will scratch the wheels off your to buy list.

jakebrake86 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Glad you got it and made it home ok. I bet it'll make you a good truck. You did a pretty good job on your R model so I'm sure you'll have her hauling gravel in no time.

r686st Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks for all the kind words and interest. I've been washing and cleaning the truck. I've removed the mud flaps/brackets, deck plating and front bumper. I am making a parts list and just trying to finish the repairs on my dump trailer before I start working on it. I want to change the rims and tires to 24.5 from 22.5 so I can recap them and run them again on my trailer. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/#findComment-275452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post r686st Posted January 24, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2015 Have ordered new shocks for all the axles and cab. Also ordered suspension leveling linkage, cab leveling valve and linkage, new stainless mud flap brackets, two new torsional torque rods and engine oil dipstick. Trying to get quotes on many other parts so I'll let you know when I order some more parts. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/#findComment-275584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r686st Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Shocks made it in today and the other parts hopefully will be in Friday. I ordered all my tires today and will have them within the next two weeks. I'm still waiting on the quote for the rest. I'm just making money right now so I can afford to do what I want to it:) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/#findComment-276329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackdaddy2030 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm happy you found what you were looking for. And it's great to see another one saved. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/#findComment-276487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r686st Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 The other parts came in today and my parts guy has the quote on the other items I wanted. I am told however that Mack no longer makes the driver side exhaust upright. Does anyone have one they would want to sell? I'm going tomorrow to see if I can order a new front bumper.

r686st Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I think he told me that Mack doesn't offer the right one anymore either. Any suggestions? I am thinking about trying to make one.

I'm going tomorrow to see if I can order a new front bumper.You will need to just find another passengers side exhaust bracket. Even one of those may be hard to find. If you can find one you can cut the top of it and turn it then reweld it and it will be perfect. I couldn't even find another passengers side one so I ended up getting two r model brackets and extending them a little taller. Bolted right up on my frame. Sometimes you have to be a little creative with these old dogs! 😉 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38500-1992-rw613/#findComment-277233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r686st Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Bought an exhaust upright, bushings, support rod and hood vent today. I ordered a new front bumper and it should be here in two weeks. Installed the engine oil dipstick, axle shocks and stainless mud flap brackets today.

r686st Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Installed the driver side exhaust bracket and support rod. Welded aluminum stepbox as well as welded some on my dump trailer. Got the bolt that holds the bumper to the frame out since it had broken off. Hopefully will get the two torque rods installed as well as cab and suspension linkage installed this week.
