Tri-axle Refurb
Finally got around to posting some pics, although I didn't take too many and some are blurry. It is a 89' Autocar with a 400 cummins and 8 speed Fuller Here is a list of things that we did to her.
sandblast/paint box sandblast/paint frame sandblast/paint wheels sand/paint cab and hood install factory rebuilt tranny install new fan and fan clutch hub install new clutch and had the flywheel cut install new valve cover gaskets rebush front and new pins install new front springs rebush lift axle rebush rear trunions rebuild rear bogeys changed a couple brake drums and lining All in all, we spent about $15,000 in parts. What do you do, buy a new one or fix the one you have ???

Re: Tri-axle Refurb
Rino,
It looks like the truck came out nice. Gee what a nice shop you have. If we had the facility I would buy used and refurbish all the time. Did you keep track of the labor? New tri-axle $150,000.00 +/-
