Kansas farmer Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 From what I can figure looking at state stickers and calendars in the cab it’s been sitting since 94. It would make a good project just think it will be more than I want to tackle unless someone thinks I’m making a mistake not buying it. $5000 is what he wants. 79 400 big cam fuller 15 spd 4.17 rears on camel back no air ride cab.

Mcrafty1 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 What needs to be done to it besides airing up the front tires? ......and why are they both flat?

sodly Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Yes, I remember this truck from a magazine cover. I have the photo somewhere. I think it may have been American Trucker rather than Overdrive, though. Where is this located? That almost looks like a KT Cummins to my untrained eye.

57 bcr Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The truck on the Overdrive cover was an RS700 and was prior to both the Super-Liner and Value-Liner. Especially in 1970. I want to say the RS/RL 600's didn't become Value-Liner's until the Super-Liner was introduced in late '77 (?).

carlotpilot Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) if that truck is in any where near as good shape as it looks in the pics even with a bad engine would be well worth a little serious negotiating. the cam follower box that i can see in the pic does not look to be big enough to be a big cam but could well be Edited October 2, 2017 by carlotpilot 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51222-well-i-went-and-looked-and-took-pictures/#findComment-381354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
