JoeH Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 That's a nice truck. I'd be a happy driver scooting around in that. Is the cab air ride? We just bought an '88 to put on the road, but it doesn't have an air ride cab. Makes a world of difference, I compare cab air ride to sitting on a cloud. I'm going to put air bags under this cab before I put it on the road.

gxbxc Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Yes it doesn't rust but the squirrels will eat it to the frame if you ain't looking they eat my wire loom dipstick and air filter housing, It was cheaper to feed them peanuts all winter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56333-rd-6-wheeler/#findComment-418869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If they're double frame trucks, the best thing you can do to preserve them is split the frames apart one side at a time and sandblast/paint them. Some people even drill and tap the outer frame rail for grease fittings so they can prevent future rust jacking. Nowadays they make a "heavy single" frame, I wish they had started using them sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56333-rd-6-wheeler/#findComment-418881 Share on other sites More sharing options...
