BucketTrucker688 7 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Is there such a thing as a heavy single frame on a superliner? I found a RW700 and it supposedly has a "heavy single frame". I'd love to put a dump body on this truck and I'd love to not deal with a double frames inevitable spread but am worried it wouldn't be a good idea for a dump.

Ditchdiggerjcf 195 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Heavy spec truck? Big fronts, big rears? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtymilkman 1,255 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 The superliners were a RW, RW600 series and RW700. The 700 designations were the heavier ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
j hancock 13,667 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Could get a RW 700 with a 10.5" X 3.25" X 3/8" steel frame. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to post Share on other sites
Ditchdiggerjcf 195 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I know where there is a superdog sitting that is heavy spec. I will take a look to see if it has a heavy frame or if it is double frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vladislav 3,012 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 3/8 thick single rail chassis of a RW700 belonged to our Dutch member. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to post Share on other sites

Quote: There is the RW713 that the Superliner II had a heavy single 10 1/2" deep frame. It is 3/8 thick. There is another tread here that shows the frame spec for the frames. I would not be afraid of putting a dump on a Superliner that had this frame. Think is maybe stronger than a RW613 double frame. The frame that is under my Superliner at the moment is a RW613 front with the heavy RW713 frame with air ride Rockwell lockers spliced under the cab and rearward, it was camelback suspension. It is stout and spliced. This is the frame spec table that shows that the RW700 heavy single frame is stronger than the smaller RW600 double frame.

I build model trucks and want to make sure I get a Superliner right. It was an option with the exterior air cleaners. Same as duel or single stack. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for clarifying. I thought maybe it had to do with engine, series or year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BucketTrucker688 7 Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Thank you gentlemen, yeah it's a RW700..it has the 400 Cummins and a 13 speed. I still don't know of axles and suspension yet. Or even if there's enough frame. I'd love to add a lift axle and a 16' body.
