  1. Greetings All, I have a 1968 R600 with a dump body. I have been looking around for some body parts to replace missing/damaged pieces, and have noticed that the R models and DM models all appear to have the same cab, hood and fenders in a year range from the 60s through the 80s. Can anyone provide me with info regarding what models and years have interchangeable body parts, or point me to a resource where I can find such information? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
  2. Thought I'd fire this thread up again, since I am a newbie and you folks have a wealth of experience. My bulldog (R600ST) has a 5X3 Triplex, and since I don't know the gears yet, I didn't know what the progression was. But let me ask this, if you are running empty (I have a dumper) do you have to use all three ranges? When I drove the truck home for the first time, I just left the range in Direct, and shifted a normal 1 - 5 pattern. A little double clutching was all I needed, and she ran fine.
  3. Hi Everybody, My name is Bill Halsey and I live in Davisburg, Michigan. That's about half way between Pontiac and Flint. I just got my first big truck. It's a 1968 R600ST Dump truck. It came with a 20,000lb GVW triple axle trailer built in 1969. I am restoring both to haul around my 1969 Case Construction King back-hoe, which is also a restoration project. After reading a lot of the posts here, I guess I may be a little different than most, because I plan on having all this equipment be "working" restorations. I have several projects lined up where I will be excavating and hauling material. The Mack has a 5X3 Triplex transmission, and airbrakes. I am trying to get more info on the engine, and will be contacting the museum shortly. The data plate on the Driver's door isn't much help. All it has is make, model, and serial number. No rpm ratings, no weight ratings, nothing else. So if anyone can tell me how to determine what engine and gears it has, I would greatly appreciate it. And knowing how to determine the GVW would help as well. From reading the posts, you all seem like really nice people and dedicated enthusiasts, so I'm sure we will be chatting a lot. Bill.
