    The 85 and older western stars were like that. Then in 86 they raised the cab a few inches to run it under the cab.

    Welcome aboard sir. Great truck you have there. :D

    It’s been a long time since I seen one of those that didn’t have a steel hood.

    What was the name of the old spring suspensions that these old trucks use?

    Or what type that many says were so rough riding in these old trucks?

    I'm not sure. I have a 4 airbag suspension. Not sure if it's factory or been replaced.

    Well, there was the 4-spring Reyco. The 2-spring Hendrickson IMHO was worse. Of the 3 that I know, the Mack camelback IMHO was the most tolerable.
