Do you have any on the 1979 R686ST or 1964 B 873sx?

Doubleclutchinweasel,you mentioned Phillips&Jordan were they a land clearing outfit?Reason I ask I think we used them on a job we did in Frackville Pa back in the early 90’s.

I am going to restart the restoration of my b87.It has been held up the last years by a multiple things,caring for my mom,working full time,lost of inside storage and a few others.I still don’t have inside storage but I will be putting a roof over it (I hope). Now a little about the truck,it been in the family since new.It was delivered in May 29 1964.It has the big Cummins motor a whopping 335hp nothing compared to today’s motors.I have all of the original paperwork for the truck.It has 65,000 rears,20,000 front axle.Dad paid $27,300 for it,far cry from todays prices.The picture of it on the lowboy was taken at Gerhart’s.I want to think these trucks were sort of custom built,my thinking behind this is I haven’t seen another one just like it.Well wish me luck,I’ll try to keep you all up to date on the progress on the truck.I will start with getting it running in the next month or so.Truck is in Philadelphia so feel free to give me a call if your in the area.

Very nice looking truck.Hope my b873sx turns out as nice.

Tks,Mark T that’s the way I mounted them,

Tks,just what I in fing 90 heat

I left out that I have spoked wheels on the truck .

I am changing my steering tires on my 79 r model.From 1100 x22 to 11r24.5. My question is what side of the rim is the outside,picture 1or 2.

Where are you located at?

You would be right.

Where?

Here’s a picture of my 79 that has only 73,000 original miles. Dad brought 20 of them along 10 u models,and 15 dm600 triaxles.

Would like to see those pictures.

How’s it to take a radiator shell out?

I’m looking to replace my tires on my 79 r model it has 1100-22’s on it now. Can’t find this size anywhere so what are my options.I guess I should be asking what,is the new size I should be looking for?The truck has spokes on it.

I’m looking to replace my tires on my 79 r model,it has 1100/22 on it now.Can’t seem to find them,so I was thinking of going with new wheels and 11r22..5 what are you throughts.What size tire replaced the 1100/22 is there one?

Brocky,will the 24.5 fit my rims?
