753: Isn't that CAT powered? Looks like it needs rescuing although the cab looks rough.

It has a 1674 cat and looks like a 13 speed and 4 spring reyco.   I think the L in the vin means light weight?   Looks to have a bunch of aluminum brackets.    Cab looks to be about beyond repair and hood is broke several place too.    I’ll keep ya’s posted.

So it's one of those....."I know what I have, don't low ball me!". Lol!

The 1674 was the little brother of a 1693 twin cam the ones popel had were 270 hp if i remember right. I bet that engine would almost fit in a b model.

Brought it home today.      Has original sales receipt and build sheets with it.     My question is.  What other cabs interchange with a western r700? This cabs shot.     But has almost perfect aluminum doors.

kinda odd it has a black interior with old 73ish steps on the front of tanks. werent black interiors like 79-84 ish?? maybe it had a cab swap already?

[Vladislav]

Looks like a common later series R-model cab to me. What's wrong with the existing one? From the pics it looks like a couple of spray cans could do the fix.

What's the little radiator (?) in front of the radiator ?

Original owner mod.      It has a belt driven water pump and it’s hook up to the aftercooler.     Has its own water cooling system.

Floors and rain gutters are almost missing and rocker panels are full of body filler.

Ahhhh  I see.   There's a lot to explore on that truck from looking at the pictures.  At some point, that truck was loved

[Hobert62]

I have the original sales receipt and build sheets for it.  Along with owners name and address at that time.    I bought it from the second owner who basically just drove it home.    Original sale price was $27,800.00

[Vladislav]

As said above.
