Yoos Brothers Construction Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have a sheet that shows how many of each type of Superliner[RWS786,RW612,ect.] were built. I'm curious about is the following RWL795L, RWS795L, RWS797L. I would assume that they had 865 and 866 V8's. I myself have never seen one. Have any of you? I would really like to find out more about them. If any of you have any pictures of one of these please post them if you can.According the sheet I have 66 RWL795LST's were built between 1978 and 1981, 2 RWS795LS's were made in 1979, 11 RWS795LST's were built between 1978 and 1979, 2 RWS797LS's were built between 1978 and 1979, and finally 82 RWS797LST's were built between 1978 and 1979.I would really appreciate any additional information or pictures.Thanks for any help, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 This RWS797 was the star of the 1979 movie "Flatbed Annie & Sweetie Pie".Co-stars were Annie Potts and Kim Darby.Kinda cheesy movie,but I've seen worse.There's a shot in the movie with the hood up.Pretty cool old truck,like to know what ever happened to it.Where did you get a breakdown sheet on the build numbers???????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 My Dad had a 79'day cab painted just like that. It had a Cat motor, fuller 13 sp. on camelback. -Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoos Brothers Construction Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 SuperdogMy Great Uncle Paul got it some where [not really sure where, he knew a lot of guys at a lot of dealers] and he gave a copy to my Dad.It has all the superliner models on it and how many of were made of that type each year. I don'tsuppose a lot of people have such a list. The only problem with it is it doesn't show what engines go to each type. Some I know for sure some not so much. Did you happen to notice if the hood open seen inthe movie showed a V8 or a 6cyl? Cool pics. Does any one know if my assumption is right about them having 865 and 866 V8's?Thanks,Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
