  1. I was always fasinated w/ the Austrailan :mack1: 's :SMOKIE-LFT: 1st one i ever layed eyes on i was about 8 yrs old when RoadWariorr came out :thumb: also the 1st time i ever herd a air starteri remember jumping outta my seat & my granddad laughing himself silly :lol: when that ole R model came to life i own the movie now ;)

    sounded like a 237 w/ the 2stick 6spd behind it in the movie :thumb:

    always wanted to drive a austarlian :mack1: but it would be my luck id fall out the door trying to grab a stick to swap holes :lol:

    & that it a clean looking B model too :thumb:

  2. 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 :bulldog1: & 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 :bulldog1: beforei knew how to drive a 1ton truck :lol: )

  4. My ole B422T ORIG Came w/ a 438 :mack1: 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 :mack1: 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 :pat: Will i need to change the motor mounts out ?

    Thanks yall & later B)

  5. 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 :mack1: 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 :mack1::SMOKIE-LFT::thumb:

  6. 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 B)

    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

  7. 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 :blink:

    i knew they were still on container chasis but not any late trucks

    Live & learn i guess ;)

    Bulldog (or :mack1:)

  8. Well i was startin to think i was the only 1 who had seen them it was a 1st for me :blink: 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 ;):thumb:

    If not im stuck w/ em unless they are sold for scrap can find a use for em around the shop i work in . ;)

  9. I BOUGHT bout 20 rims the other day off a friend of mine To get what i needed i had to buy the other as well got a pretty good deal & i could use all of them OR sell the 1's i didnt need SO I THOUGHT :blink:

    I CAN USE PILOT WHEELS IN 22.5 & 24.5 & Budd wheels in both sizes as well but i NEVER CAME ACROSS A 8 HOLE 24.5 PILOT WHEEL ANYONE HAVE A IDEA WHAT THEY FIT ? :idunno:

    out of 20 it was only 3 of em that was 8 hole pilots

  10. Why were those trucks at a Peterbilt dealer?

    Did someone have a complete mental breakdown and trade them in on Peterbilts?

    :pat:

    HK MY THOUGHTS EXACTLLY :blink:

    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 :mack1: the other had 2' 97 RD Triaxle :mack1:'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 :mack1: LOOK SHINY LIKE A PETE . PERSONALLY I THINK THE 1 BRO-IN-LAW IS :wacko: 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 :pat:

    THE Pete he has now isnt half the truck the :mack1: HE HAD OR THE :mack1: HIS BRO-INLAW has now

    Happy new year yall B)
