Have a pic? Is it like an old topkick? Square cab on a heavy frame, with a tilt front cowling, and fat fenders?

We had some cool pics of some Medium Duty Burbs and Trucks somewhere. I remember 2 other Medium Duty Burb pics that were in a parade.

I remember those Medium Duty Squares too.

Get Retro on it, he'll Hound Dog those threads and sniff them out.

Not as bad as you'd think. Of course, those a singles not the standard dual wheel, but we were getting tires for the C6500 roll back for $250-$300ea and that was for highway steer tires. I don't think that is all that bad considered most 33-35 in off roads tires are well over $200 each.
