huppypuppy Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi all,I'm planning to restore this R-600 "Flintstone" tow truck and I'm looking for a couple of manuals for her - I need a full set of repair manuals and a operator's handbook for her (I downloaded the R- and U- Model operator's manual from the Wiki section but it doesn't actually have what I'm looking for!).... I also will need engine parts (Maxidyne 237 constant-power diesel) and gearbox parts (it'll have a Maxitorque gearbox but until I talk to the current owners, I won't know which one....). A bumper bar will also be handy too!All help is much appreciated because this will be my first restoration and I need all the parts and manuals beforehand!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the guys who own it now had intentions to keep it working but couldn't due to the equipment on the body being unable to be re-certified... so they are going to sell it! It showed up at the right time as I was going to purchase one with a 6-71 Detroit Diesel 2-stroke and a 13 speed RoadRanger and single drive.... not original but the tow truck is - right down to the Maxidyne engine (as shown by the gold bulldog mascot on the grille!)!Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
