    This thread didn't have a happy ending. A rust free R………something we can only dream about in the land of salt.

    Welcome aboard , nice RS !! Just take a look at the tire size on the side of the tire. Let us know the actual size. Someone will be able to tell you the tubeless equivalent . I think it's a good idea to get rid of the tube type. They can be dangerous if your are not familiar with them. Its hard now to even find a tire shop that will work on them. Plus common tubeless are way cheaper. You just need rims. You can get them cheap from a wrecking yard. KEEP THE SPOKES THOUGH. Keith

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier. It would have saved you some grief. The dirty, oily linkage is on my 237. keeping everything well oiled is what has kept it good for 30 years of being in salt. The cleaner linkage is off a 350 4V . It appears to be the same, and a lot easier to get close pics. I think this will shed some light on your troubles. If you want any other pics, or from a different direction, let me know Don't let the spring in the 350 pics confuse you. Its not factory. I find I have a lot nicer pedal with 2 long springs (one there,one on the pump), instead of the 2 factory springs .

    I don't know if this helps……... 1988 R688 with 14,300 front axle - 3 Leaves …. 3 inch block 1986 RD688 with 18,000 front axle - 4 leaves……4 inch block I'm 98 percent sure thats how both trucks cam from the factory. In my opinion, they both sit perfect. Keith

    Happy to hear you got things sorted. Your truck is way to nice, to not be able to get out and show it off.

    Thanks for the pics. And I would shake Alex's hand too. He is one of my favourites .

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I was thinking the same about the bumper. I still have to straiten it though.

    Well just an update on my ol' binder. I cleaned up the doors. Someone had made a bit of a mess of them. Added a stripe to kinda match my highway tractor. Painted the frame, and hubs. I will be putting the flatbed back on and putting tubeless tires on the front. I think? i will paint the bumper black. Not sure yet.

    Thanks so much for sharing pics. The less fortunate like me, sure do appreciate it !

    Looking at the pics of what you started with. Its amazing how good that looks!! Just a thought about your tie downs. One of my floats has "D" rings on the deck as well as the sides. I was going to cut them off when I bought the float. I decided to leave them for a bit. Now I don't know how I got along without them. They are handy for old tractors. Probably too late now its painted, but just a thought for whenever. Great job!!! Thanks for sharing with us.

    Wow !! Thanks for the lesson . I never would have guessed that could happen. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Keith

    That's a good thing to have . I have said I am going to get one for the snowplow. There is always stupid things going on around me when I am plowing. Think it would be good to have proof of the idiot passing me doing 90 kph then spinning out and bouncing off the one way. Then saying they were doing 3o and I hit them.

    Happy Victoria Day to my fellow canucks !!! My first day off in a long time. I spent the day summerizing(if thats a word) my snowplow. Pulled the tires, oiled the crap out of everything. All in all … a great day. 41Chevy, I'm impressed you know about Vicky. I would bet half of Canadians don't know we are celebrating Queen Victoria's birthday. They just know its a day off.

    I've been driving my 2 stick 6 speed like you for the last 17 years. I'm sure its wrong (like every thing else i do ) But it seems to work better for what I do.

    Cool truck !!! I can definitely see the resemblance . Think its the big windshield. Like his big eyes
  21. 85snowdog
    I would be very happy with that on any one of my Macks. Good job!!!
  22. 85snowdog
    Thanks O dog, for the great pics ! I didn't know puny was Canadian. I learn something new every day. Look forward to your pics every week!
  23. 85snowdog
    I can't believe thats the same truck. GREAT JOB!

    Looks like a good solid truck ! Thanks for sharing . My buddy just bought a 1985 as a parts truck for his project he is working on (The one I posted) . Its a highway tractor with a 400 cummins. Very neat truck. Has the original paint on it. Unfortunately salt has got the best of the frame. I didn't have my phone to take a pic. He is waiting for me to go pick it up for him. I will post some pics when I go get it.
