Overdrive ratio on RTO 915 is .81 19%.I hope they put in overdrive trans not direct. Olivetroad I was also bidding but was outbid early. One of the nicest original F-Models I ever saw that was not restored. In reality it would be cheaper to buy this F-Model in nice shape than find one that needs restoring. You would put quite a bit more to bring one up to this condition. Joe D.

Its up over $5,000.00 with 7 days to go. Looks good though. Joe D.

There are still some working Brockway's in my area Northeast,Penna. Mostly tri-axle dumps.Joe D.

Just what I need. I have a tri-plex and shift levers from a F-Model. I know this was the reason I bought them 10 years ago.Joe D.

The aux. in my White is not progressive so once out of under in aux. you only use direct and overdrive. Joe D.

The White 3000 was on Ebay recently and had a winning bid. I do not know if buyer went thru with deal. It had a C-180 Cummins. Joe D.

What looks like clutch plate to you most likely is parking brake. Truck has air brakes also.I have a White Mustang with same main and aux. shift sequence. Joe D.

GG2 if it is a 335 someone added an aftercooler.Joe D.

Reyco is fine for over the road but not stable for dump work and not enough articulation also. Joe D.

Truck looks good but Reyco suspension and 3.73 ratio on a dump truck is a no no.Joe D.

Keep them coming. Joe D.

Tin looks pretty straight for a H-Model.Only other diesel offered was a NT-6Bl or NH 220 Cummins. Most likelt duplex or tri plex as wheelbase looks to short for split boxes. I do not know if auxiliary trans was offered in H-Models. As far as price goes if it does not sell he will have to come down to reality. Joe D.

I have owned several of the Canadian Hi Tensile Bodies. Bibeau,Brandon and Beau Roc all look almost identical. The reason I was told is that Brandon and Beau Roc are built from members of the family that builds Bibeau. I currently run a 18' Hi Tensile Brandon 1/8" sides 3/16" floor. I mostly haul hot rocks but at times they load the big potatoes in there with no damage so far.I like the tailgate hinge on the Bibeau as when it closes the top hinge lays on a piece of steel for a piece of steel for a very good alignment. Joe D.

Ernie I like them all. Joe D.

Yes but don't tell anyone. Joe D.

I know in Penna. a tandem or tri-axle dump with less than 46,000 lb. rears and 18,000 lb. front axle is a hard to sell unit. For whatever reason 38 or 40,000 rears and suspension do not hold up in dump truck work working in soft material. I run 46 rear 18 lift axle and 20 front axle when loaded to 73,280 and 60 lbs.air in lift axle my front axle weighs out between 17-18,000.I would not want to run a truck at highway speeds with 12,000 front axle loaded heavy. Bearings,kingpins and spindles will not take it. Joe D.

Ernie nice collection. Only problem is you are cornerning the market on the Brockway's. Joe D.

Rob all the Squirells ain't in the woods. Joe D.

Interior shot looks like it has 2 stick trans to me. I do not see any air or electric for 3 speed rear. It would be different if it did have 3 speed auxiliary trans. There was a White 3000 tandem for sale in truck corral at Macungie about 5 years ago with 2 stick trans,it was a tack truck for asphalt company. Good luck . Joe D.

Rob I would like to fly out first and look around. When do you plan on going to retrieve it/ We are going on cruise today will be back at end of month. Joe D.

I was bidding on truck.4 days left and it is already over$2,500.00 I am out of bidding unless it stays near where price is now.Cab does look clean from pictures. I do not want to get in bidding war with others that want it more than I would. Anyway I would like to take trip to Nevada to look at White out there after vacation. Joe D.

thats a Dandy. Should post in Obama joke Of The Day. Joe D.

Nice Dumper. Joe D.

If you want to hear No Easy Run Trucker go to youtube and punch it in. Great song originally by dave Dudley I think and then Johnny Cash. I like both versions. Lots of good old time trucker songs on Youtube. Joe D.

8.3 engine is not physically a large engine it would fit in engine compartment of 3000 no problems or any of engines that Rob said.Engines and trans from Isuzu,Hino and Mitsubshi midrange are very reliable also As far as controls if you stay with a mechanical version no big problems on controls.Changing gauges is not a big deal.It would be best to buy a complete drivetrain from one unit so you do not have to find matching bellhousing for your existing trans.
