Is that R185 a 406 or 450 inliner ? They also made a 372 & 501 if I remember correctly.

my r 190 dump truck has the rd 450 in it. talk about a fuel swallowing torque monster!

the r 185's got a rd 372/ 374 on lp in it, supposedly overhauled shortly before it was parked. it's followed up by an overdrive trans which i want for a hauler project. it also, curiously enoguh has air brakes on it. if this thing's tight enough i may stuff a dt466 in it and run it.


what i was initally on the hunt for was a 50's "s" series cab and clip to swap over on to an 1800 series school bus chassis.i had a NICE 54 r160 bought and the guy backed out of the deal at the last minute on it.

as you can tell binders hold a serious interest for me also.

addictions are terrible!
