Popular Post 2stacksuperdog Posted February 8, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2013 1984 R-686STTime to finish our R-model. already Rebuilt front-end, new drive shaft, rebuilt 350, gonna put 12 speed in and maybe upgrade from 38k to 46k rears, has double frame and 6 speed now, have a 12ft plow for it too. Ran it for a couple years and bought superliner so started to redo but never had time. 3 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always rebuild them. Robert 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/#findComment-170237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
