Thanks everyone for the pics and info. I had never heard of a BIG AL . I knew you guys could enlighten me. Thanks

41 chevy , I absolutely love the A-car ,and the story. I'm with you though, the longer it sits , the less it will be worth to anyone.

Hopefully one day you can save it. A great piece of history there.

Vlad, my invoice has part # 18QX416P2 I'm not sure about the SL2 at the end of the #

A side glass in 2010 cost me $ 53.90 .

I know you are looking for green tint. These are not green tint . But the tint is so light I don't think anyone but you would know the difference . …But I've been wrong before..

Any glass I have bought , does not have the metal on it Vlad.

I have a new tinted one in the shop , I will see if there is a part # on it.

5 years ago you could still buy them at Mack , probably no longer available now

Can't believe the shape of that. Not hard to tell that hasn't seen salt. Very nice!!

Unplug or take out the left turn lights one at a time. If the problem goes away its in the bulb or led unit. I have seen this before.

Might not be this, but easiest spot to start. Next is a short in the wiring. Can be a little more difficult to find.

Good luck

O , and Welcome to BMT

Well a little……..actually a lot, out of my price range. Hope it's going to a good home.

$120,000 thats $ 153,484 in Canadian $$

Myself, I think it is worth it. You can't just buy that anywhere.

Congrats to the new owner

I don't want to steer you wrong, but usually the switch is on top of the transmission. It will have 2 wires coming off of it. Unplug it, check for power(key on). If there is power, jump the plug with a paper clip. Back-up lights should come on. If lights come on, problem with switch. If they don't come on, its not the switch. Its something else.

My disclaimer… I don't know if newer stuff is like this. I only work on old crap trucks.

Very nice ! I'm not usually big on modifications…….but I think the headlights will look good

Thanks for sharing with us.

Look'n good !!!! I love the white steering wheel. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting ! Thanks for sharing

Good luck with your new adventure !

Hope you keep posting pics of ………trucks and sunshine

That will be an interesting one to watch. Thanks for posting.

Welcome aboard !

I'm not sure about Mack, but PAI has them for sure. I recently priced them. A little over 200 bucks for the for the top and bottom. And if your feeling generous, almost 350.00 for a stainless top.

I like your new wheels, very nice. I wish I could give the R a nice home. Not in the cards right now.

Otherdog, try to keep any names ( trooper, guy in suburban) and keep some notes about weather, time of day, everything you can remember.

Up here people wait till the statute of limitations is almost up, then they sue, hoping that a lot of info has been forgotten or lost. It happens with people that run off the road in bad weather here.

Hopefully Green dash is right and the driver holds themselves accountable.

Sorry about your friend Wooly Booger. I know that name from somewhere, but can't put my finger on it.

Thanks for the weekly pics, I always look forward to them.

I found another way for you to load test your Louieville Rob.

I just love this video, I think deep down I want to do the same thing when I'm out.

The link, and a pic of the Louieville

Very nice equipment!!! Thanks for sharing.

You say you do demolition. Some demolition companies I see, the trucks are so rough, they look like they are part of the demolition job.

Looks very professional, having sharp looking equipment !!

CHEERS !!! Good taste in music to !

Look'n forward to seeing the supers.

OK, that's my bad. I got the transmission screwed up. It's a 10 speed.

ETA: here's another one

And a third one, but the body is a big grain body, so it wouldn't work very well with hauling earthen material.

And finally there's this 1998 DM690S that looks in pretty good shape, but is more than I'd like to spend ($40k)

Consider yourself lucky, you have some nice looking trucks to pick from.

You would have to go a long way to find one nice R for sale up in my part of the world.

I know it doesn't matter….but my favourite is the 89 R688, like the motor. And I would try to find a more suitable dump body for it.

Good luck with your search. There will be one lucky R out there !!

God love ya !! You were talking about thinning out the pack, and your still bringing strays home. Nice save !!!

I think it would make a cool dump truck. Looks solid !

Great pics !!!! Thanks for sharing

I think ? but not sure…. that nice look'n DM belongs to ctkiteboarding, a member of BMT.

And thats a lot of f'n salt !!
