sounded like a 237 w/ the 2stick 6spd behind it in the movie
always wanted to drive a austarlian but it would be my luck id fall out the door trying to grab a stick to swap holes

DM stands for Dump-Mixer, generally with fishbelly frames-a really nice off road truck when equipped with wide floaters.Had to be careful though if you wasn't used to the offset cab a good way to get a sidewall on the right tire pulling on the narrow scales-Kevin
Yup ive seen it happen many times a driver comes out of X Brand truck then gets hired todrive a DM & OPPS Over the side of scale the tire goes i never done it but then i was raised on WHAT I WAS NAMED AFTER & 1st thing besides a Peice of equipment or B Model was a DM685S that i learned how to drive or operate (i knew how to drive a 2stick beforei knew how to drive a 1ton truck )

My ole B422T ORIG Came w/ a 438 gas motor dad bought the truck from a friend of the family in 69 w/ motor blown put heavier springs in the front . & set the 711 that is currently down in it .
my granddad ran this truck long after my dads death in 77 until 98 when TDOT Made us go to a tandem lowboy & log tractor . the 711 has been rebuilt once in my life time (im 31 pushing 32) bouit the time i was 12 or 13 the ole motor was bout due for another rebuild bout the time we retired "oledog"
i know where 300 2 VALVE Is for sale & has been O/H Recently right before the bed flipped on this 85 DM IT WAS IN . & the DM Is being parted out by a buddy of mine & i can get the motor @ a resonable price & he also has a 237 for sale also
IM wanting to update the motor because it is easier to find parts for the 237 & 300 motors than it is for the 711 now
My question is : i cant remember Will i need to change the motor mounts out ?
Thanks yall & later

We have owned the Superdog(RW OR Superliner) the DM & THE R . Personally (just my opinon ) ilkied the DM For a dumptruck short hood easier for tightspots
the R & RW For log & lowboy tractors . plus i liked the Superliner for the avabilty for a 350 + horsepower motor w/ say a 12 spd TRANNY To pull a lowboy .
We have had all 3 MODELS as DumpTRUCKS W/ double frames BUT IN THIS APplication i always liked a DM w/ a 237 or 300 w/ double stick 6spd 18k fa & 44k r/a @ 4:17 to 6:17 ratio on camelback for the pulling power off in the dirt . & double framed .
Like i say this just my opion i like all 3 models of

The C/50 Chevy uses 10 hole on the rear, you could see what a truck tire shop would give you for them.
Hi B-61
Ya belive it not thats my buddy that has the C-50 Chevy does for a living is mobile truck tire & truck reapair road service i help him some when he needs it & time allows me . SO if he ever needs em to mount them on a customers truck & doesnt want to use em on the ole Chevy he would have em .
We knew would have to get some 10holes for the rear but we figured using 2 of the 3 on the front steeraxle if it allows it
Gearhead : i belive it ive been round trucks all my life & thats the 1st time ive ever seen them in a tubless rim & didnt hardly see any in a tube type spilt ring
Bad Dog mine are 24.5 Steel w/ grey paint
Thanks

Legend tractor thats 1st 1 ive seen all other have been dumps w/ alcoas 1st legend ive seen w/ Daytons & tube type tires on that late a model truck i thought tube type tire went out round the 80's as a option on a truck
i knew they were still on container chasis but not any late trucks
Live & learn i guess

Well i was startin to think i was the only 1 who had seen them it was a 1st for me oh well live & learn
maybe i can sell them to a buddy of mine who is restoring his granddad 's ole 1972 C-50 Chevy bob tractor truck it had the ole pilot wheels that were split ring in the center insted of the ole standard 1 piece or 2 piece Split ring . as they have 8 holes in the rim but only use 5 of the holes on the front hubs
He was really looking for 22.5 pilots but we seem to think we can fit a lopro 24.5 on the ole Chevy
If not im stuck w/ em unless they are sold for scrap can find a use for em around the shop i work in .

Why were those trucks at a Peterbilt dealer?
Did someone have a complete mental breakdown and trade them in on Peterbilts?
HK MY THOUGHTS EXACTLLY
I have 2 friends of mine who was working for family (they are bro-inlaws to each other) they both broke off thier own 1 wanted to updated his equipment from a 89 DM the other had 2' 97 RD Triaxle 'S he told the other he would sell him 1 @ a reasonable price needless to say the bro-inlaw who wanted to update went from a Mack to a PETE CAUSE HE SAID YA COULD CHROME A MACK OUT LIKE A PETE & MAKE THE LOOK SHINY LIKE A PETE . PERSONALLY I THINK THE 1 BRO-IN-LAW IS FOR GETTING A PETE JUST CAUSE YA HAVE MORE CHROME OPTIONS I DIDNT THINK A DUMP BUCKET WAS SUPOSSED TO BE CHROMED OUT LIKE A ROAD TRACTOR SHEESH
THE Pete he has now isnt half the truck the HE HAD OR THE HIS BRO-INLAW has now
Happy new year yall
