That looks like a pretty nice R Model. That suspension might not be the most desireable , but I'm not sure I'd pass on it because of it. That would probably be ok for a hobby truck, but one working every day probably not.

Mark T Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 They were ok if you pulled a dry van on blacktop or something like that. They were from back in the time before air ride was the norm. So I'd have to agree with you. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74946-looking-to-purchase-a-r-model/page/2/#findComment-568692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah them three straight leaves were pretty soft riding, but leaned real bad. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74946-looking-to-purchase-a-r-model/page/2/#findComment-568696 Share on other sites More sharing options...
