Popular Post superdog405 Posted January 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2017 Some pics of my progress so far. Rebuilding a '87 RW713 into a RW753. This truck left PA in '88 and spent the last 29 years in Montana. What a difference it made in this trucks life ! Almost new in alot of ways. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post superdog405 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2017 They loaded backwards, but you can figure out what I started with and where we are now. Stripped the cab of all interior and glass, adding dynamat inside and getting paint under all those rubber gaskets around the glass. Stripped down to frame, welded susp. bolt holes shut,sanded ,primed with epoxy and painted gloss black. 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/#findComment-356692 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post superdog405 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2017 Frame on this truck is like new, been drilling for my new rear susp. and tag axle last couple days, and no rust between rails makes it nice! Took out the old Hend. rubber block and installing the better riding up dated rubber block. 1 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/#findComment-356693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Looks like a lot of progress is done and still plenty of job in the future. Good luck on the project! If you will make some more pictures the other day please post a couple of views of the chassis very front crossmember. I'd like to see the difference of them between MH (I have) and Superliner. And also the way a RWII hood attaches to.

Vladislav Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Can't wait to see the cab and hood painted. Whonder which color. Superdogs are damn attractive and many colors absolutely take them apart from other rigs.

jackb61sx Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Very impressed at what you have done to it since you got it, was definitely a very sound tractor when you got it. So if your going to an RW 753 you putting a 3406B in it like I have or a different variant or a Cat.

Popular Post superdog405 Posted January 2, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2017 Thanks every one ! It is going to be Omaha orange with a black stripe, I have already had the fuel and air tanks sand blasted and powder coated black. Had a custom 10" s.s. drop visor made for it , and will be adding dual 7" straight pipes with internal mufflers. Have all the parts (and a good bumper) to change it over to the big center tow pin style, and will be adding the dual s.s. air cleaners mentioned before. It will be the superliner I wanted but could not find when I'm done. Mack built them this way so why can't I. Dual exhaust, air cleaners and a big front bumper with a CAT that is. We will be using a 3406C @ 600 hp mated to a fuller 18 spd putting power to a set of 46k Mack rears @ 4:42 ratio on hendrickson HN susp. The bed is a new Brandon hardox steel body from Quebec. Hope I answered a couple questions and happy new year ! 1 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/#findComment-356845 Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdog405 Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ok, so I took a couple of pics for Vlad yesterday but the website keeps telling me they are to big. max 1.71mb it says, these pics are 3.8 or so. How in the world do you change this ? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48171-another-superliner-rebuild/#findComment-357098 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Bring the pics up in the computer; click select all (top right); click save to and then pick where you want to save to (create a separate folder from the original) and it should give you an option of saving in original format or a smaller format.

superdog405 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ok Vlad, here are some pics of front engine mount and of hood mount for ya, cross member and front engine mount in truck are out of a RW753 for a CAT and the one one the ground came out of truck for an E-6. The hood mount would be the two holes at the bottom of the one pic and the two stand looking brackets at thr top of the other. Hope this helps.
