Wafarmer Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hello, i switched a rusted out DM cab for a RD, i got everything back in working order besides the throttle linkage, all i have is the bar that runs along the floorboard...does anybody have a picture of the linkage or where i can get the missing parts? i should have taken more pictures when taking it apart. thank you Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48710-cab-swap/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wafarmer Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 only major thing i had to do was move the radiator 8 in closer to the fan to get the hood to fit, everything else was just a matter of swiping all brackets and braces, wasn't to bad..the pic above is what it looked like ill post some present ones tomorrow.

j hancock Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Don't have a picture but the crossover throttle linkage bolts to the back of the motor.

Maddog13407 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm still missing something here?? you put a cab and hood from an R, on a dm frame I take it? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48710-cab-swap/#findComment-362223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Wow! Not a restoration, but a transformation! A buddy of mine who never really cared for the DM,had always wanted to use a DM chassis to build an RD(M?) dump truck. He had the chassis all done,but then needed the components for his other trucks. Was over there one spring day,and the torch came out. He cut it up.Would have reaĺly liked to see him finish it. It would have been a unique as yours. Nice job!
