    That sounds like a good idea, would you know ballpark how much something like that would cost? My options were try to find chrome pop on caps for it, leave it black or leave it black with chrome axle nut covers, but I'll leave chrome plating it as an option too depending on the price. Nowadays in my area (Delaware), you usually see these steel nosed trucks as just rusted up site trucks that don't get hardly used on road and live mostly on a jobsite with minimal use. It would be nice to shine and polish up the ol truck and make it really stand out to all the other trucks on the road

    Thank you Alex

    Thank you Alex, I know one of them I want is a manifold pressure gauge, the other gauge I'm in the air about

    Finally got it painted, lettered and installed

    Not at the current time but thank you for the offer. When I do though I'll keep you in mind

    Thank you. I want to eventually put 2 more gauges in place of the gauge hole covers, I'm thinking a factory manifold pressure gauge and maybe transmission temperature. I'm still doing some research to see all the available gauge types on all r series (r, rd, rw, dm, etc.) variants and choose from there. I wish I could get a factory woodgrain dash panel blank and cut out as many holes for gauges I want and fill it up with gauges like an RW but more lol

    Been working on fabricating a radio delete panel for my brother in law's 85 rd since it already has a radio in the ceiling and I don't like that huge hole in the dash. I have it primed and test fitted, gonna paint it soon and put "mack" in black letters on it. Should definitely clean up the look of the dash a bit

    It's gonna get a real good clean up, an Alcapulco blue paint job, a good polishing and some chrome but not too much, just enough in the right areas. I want it to be a nice looking work truck but not a trailer queen, it's going to be put into service pulling a low bed and maybe a landoll.

    I think it was too. My brother in law is the 3rd owner of it and the previous owner said he only put about 5-6k miles on it. We have about 4 inches of paperwork on it of all the work done to it. Paul do you have any pictures of it?

    Drives straight as an arrow and got one hell of a good deal on it

    Disregard the name on the door, that was the previous owner lol. I just joined the site so I'm new. I've been trying to research and learn more about his truck. I know it's an 85 RD688SX and it has a 350 2v and a 12spd. Has 67k original miles and everything works, including the heated mirrors and ac lol. It's going to get repainted in a few weeks, along with new exhaust, wheels and tires, led lights and some shiny stuff to dress it up

    Does anyone make chrome or stainless steel axle covers for 58k Camelback rears with the cone shaped axle ends? I didn't know if any companies made them for these axles or even a hubometer style cap that has a hole in the center. Working on my brother in law's 85 rd688sx and want to dress up this rare low mileage gem
