Hobert62 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I thought that looks like a truck I've seen. When I zoomed in, the town on the door is only about 15 miles from my house.

terry Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Pretty early R model with that tank and bracket, they were bullit proof, very little would go wrong with them. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51472-rd686sx-dump/#findComment-383204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
6368 Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 it is supposed to be a 1976. It also has shutters when did they stop using those? I know my 79 doesn't have them.

I like the vintage Fruehauf bathtub dump box I wondered if other people referred to that as a bathtub, or if that was just a local thing.

j hancock Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I believe it was around 1976/77 or so when the cab emblem were no longer used on the R models. Have heard them called bathtubs around here. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

tjc transport Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 i have always known them as bathtub bodies too. my 05 kenworth has one on it. as of late though, more and more people are referring to them as "rock bodes" Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

fifth wheel Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 When they came out their advertising literature said "we just un cornered the dump body market" in the 70's I think.

BillyT Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 We always called them tubs! Very ridgid structurally, one of our drivers rolled one over in Margate Florida, (a dump trailer) and it showed nothing but scratches when back on its wheels! He probably had to change his drawers though!😁 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51472-rd686sx-dump/#findComment-383333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
