This has to be one of my favorites! The newer galvanized cab.
-
How about a few components?
-
Not sure of the year, but here an R615. I wish some of these had been bigger and better.
-
Here is a 1980 brochure on the revised (CA49) cab from a few years back.
-
First one from '77 and the second from '78...
-
None from '75, but a few from '76...
-
A handful from '74...
-
A couple from 1973... The new cab showed up here.
-
How about some 1972's?
-
Only 1 from 1971...
-
A few from 1970... The blue R700 ones show a lot of different engine options and the model numbers associated with each one.
-
A couple from 1969...
-
Here are a few from 1967... Picked up the 237 Maxi on these.
-
I do not have anything on that R either. Sorry.

Not so much for the veterans, but hopefully helpful for some of the newer members… The 607 implies what the standard engine was…maybe the n/a END-673P. But, as shown in those brochures, there were optional engines available. Could have been a couple of different engines factory-installed. The “S” shows that it was originally a “six wheel” (tandem) truck The lack of a “T” says it was not originally built as a tractor, but rather as a straight truck. Pretty common on DMs, since the primary market was “Dumper and Mixer”.

They did use Chrysler 413s in some of them.
-
I don’t have any B ones. I’ll see what I have on the R. When I was gathering these, I wish I had searched for stuff outside my area of interest. I’ve regretted that many times.

Spongy/soft brakes, purging relay valve
doubleclutchinweasel replied to Highroadhauling's topic in Air Systems and Brakes
Unhook the parking brake release hose from the cam and apply foot brake. If the can is leaking through, air will come out of the parking brake fitting on the can. Can also do the opposite thing. Unhook the service brake fitting and release the parking brake to see if air comes out the service fitting. Be sure to scotch it securely before trying any of this. Sound reasonable, JoJo? -
A lot did not.
-
As long as none of the bushings are worn through and into the knuckles, it should be pretty easy then. hardest part of mine was lifting the brake drum off and on!
-
I’m just going off my R axle. It was a straight drive out/drive in on the bushings. A jack and a hammer knocked the tapered pins loose. Jack in a different place and a snack with the hammer seated the pins. Then set the thrust bearing. It was easier than doing an old pickup truck. But I don’t know if the B axle is the same.
-
I’ll put some more in here tomorrow.
-
I’ll bet you could do them yourself. But I understand letting someone else do it.
-
Looking at your post reminds me of when I did mine and had to set that nut under the thrust bearing. What a killer setup these things had. I hope his "early" axle has the same setup with the tapered pins and the thrust bearing.

Right?
