Interesting paint high-lighting...and I don't mind it either.

Not too many 86's around without heaps of rust.

Thanks Rusty

The back end is the standard Volvo 6x2 set up using just one pair of springs with a weight bias on the drive. Was normally fitted with a lift on the lazy but that was banned in Aus

Ever see one wwith the Robson(sp) drive for the second axle mammoth???

I helped wreck a 6x2 F86 in the first 6 months of my apprenticeship .... had all the lift stuff on it but disconnected
