eddeere Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Have been looking for a dump truck for sometime. Something I could use on the farm. Found this in a local farm publication. RS688LST 1985 550,000 mi, 5540 mi on new engine., RR 9 speed trans. Do not know what engine. Was a road tractor. Asking $5000. I think I will pass on it. More truck than I need. Any thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Looks like it has an air window on the passenger side? That black box mounted on the door panel?

Popular Post Superdog Posted July 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2016 Says its a 688 and its got an air to air on it so its most likely a 350. Looks like the interior would clean up,just needs some TLC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted July 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2016 It's a Macungie-built Value-Liner (3-piece grille). That's an E6-350(R) 4-valve engine. The power passenger window (electric) is factory. It has an ST34 parabolic taperleaf rear suspension, ideal for a lightweight tractor, but wrong for a tipper. If the truck was originally red, it could have been an Amoco unit. The horn button will reveal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 at this day in age and modifications it could be a detuned valueliner engine on up to a 300 or 350. looks like a clean truck and a good deal but it will probably get a boat ride for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 You guys amaze me. I never noticed the electric window until he rolled it down for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseliner82 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 What is the name of the publication that has it listed? Do you have the contact info on it? I would like to inquire. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastractorsvc Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 How big is the box? Small box like that would be good for farm or tag trailer hauler. It must work but hope you get paid by the hour and not by the ton! Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The straight rail design as on the Western trucks or the Eastern R-model frame with wider spread at the front? From the pics above it seems to me more like Western RS/RL rails.
