Those dumps have seen better days that’s for sure,the old RD is a rust bucket and has a 6000 dollar opening bid,wth..

The Superliner hydroseeder looked great the last time I saw it about 10 years ago. No bids either.  I’ll have to sign up and bid.  I doubt it will sell cheap though.

Looks like the Superliner Hydroseeder went for $45 K.  Not bad for a 35 year old truck...

I fixed it. I suspect the buyer was after the body mostly. We all love a nice Superliner on this forum (especially a superdog with a cat under the hood) but to most landscapers / environmental companies a chassis like this is just a liability to them.

Good point @67RModel.  Hopefully if the hydroseeder is what they are after the Superliner finds a good home. Did you make it by to check it out Mike @yarnall?

There is another auction posted in the “Equipment and Tools” thread with a pair of 1971 DM800’s in it. One has a stainless dump body on it which if I had to guess is why the bids on it are  currently 10x higher than its twin that doesn’t have a body .

That is a Penn body. They were a dump body manufacturer from Johnstown, PA. Long gone and out of business. They may have been acquired by and/or became Thiele Bodies. That one looks to be in extraordinary shape. That thing would cost a fortune to get fabricated today. Would be a nice as a period correct body for a dump restoration project if somebody needs one.

I wish they had posted more details/photos of the 71 DM800’s. Looks like their fleet numbers were sequential, would be cool if their serial numbers were sequential too. If only money, time and repair skills were unlimited…

[67RModel]

Both of those trucks have V8s. The one with the dump body looks like an 864 or 865 V8. The one without the body looks like a transplanted E9.....

I'll see if I can write this correctly this time @67RModel...

The stainless steel dump body with the 71 DM800 under it sold for $14,000.

The second 71 DM800 sold for $5,000.

The DM600 "parts truck" sold for $1,200.

All three, along with a number of the parts lots where sold to "onsite".  Maybe a fellow BMT member is scooping them all up and will post about them soon... 🙂
