Stepping a bit higher into the seat of my truck than I'm use to, I remember my heart beating out of my chest and the sound of that sweet detroit just rumbling. As I adjusted my seating and checking gauges for my run through, It was finally sinking in, "I own my very own 1975 Mack RS700L V8". Being that my first truck was a 1977 Kenworth W900 with another detroit diesel, "the truck was alright,it didn't get me excited to drive it" also canadian made. Not saying Canada doesn't make a fine truck to be imported into the US but lets be serious here. AS I continue doing my checks it was departure time for me and what I have now named "Ol Red". The intense horses that followed after the clutch was released was immense. The horses, the broad power; the scream of this pure natural running beast was incredible. Speed-eh not the fastest but with +38,000lbs of loaded weight screw speed, Ol 'Red won't let me down. Ladies and Gentleman I went into this purchase a Kenworth fan left wanting to buy an american bulldog. Heres to you MACK!
