The ad is gone, so it's probably sold. However, on the same site there's an MH with a 3406 in it...looks pretty good. https://nmi.craigslist.org/hvo/d/1987-mack-semi-tractor/6513956173.html

In '81 or '82 we had a customer who bought a new Blue Bird Wanderlodge RV with a 210 hp 3208. A few months later, Cat released the turbo (250 hp) 3208 and when said customer heard about that, he brought the RV to us and had us swap the motor so he'd have the 250 hp. He was a lot happier with the power. You're right though, if you put it in a big truck it would be a dog.

If you ever run across a 12-71 that you don't want in your garage, I'll take it.

With a V8! The pictures look pretty decent. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1974-Mack-R700/282936832750?hash=item41e05972ee:g:kjYAAOSw0Pxa2nVx&vxp=mtr

That is a sharp looking truck! I can't help you but hopefully someone else on the site can.

Corrupting My Son

The cab is completely gone on that one, there are almost as many holes as intact sheet metal. I'm robbing parts off of it to restore my tandem. -
When I graduated from diesel school in Miami FL in 1981, I started in the truck shop at Kelly Tractor (Cat dealer). To this day I am impressed with how much training Cat invested in their mechanics. I was proud to be a part of their organization and after I left the trucking industry, I was sad to hear Cat got out of it. We worked on a lot of 3406 and 3208 motors, very rarely got a 3408 in the shop.

I had my son help me move one of the trucks around...he got a good whiff of the diesel smoke from the tractor and he's almost hooked! Crazy thing about this old Ralph Smith truck...it has an air start, it's been parked behind my barn untouched for 12 years. I grabbed the air start lever and it had 10 or 15 psi of air in the tank!!

You got that right...I cut 4 inches of soil off, put down #2 first, then some #4 and #57 and it still sinks every couple years.

Oh, snap!!
-
Is that a 335?

The counterweight on that big machine looks like it weighs a couple pounds.

I didn't realize the Maxidyne was 673...I thought they were 675.

What's a fish belly frame? -
Was the velvet ride the one with a big block o' rubber that was the only thing between you and the highway?

I hope that turbo elbow hasn't been open like that---you don't want any debris or water getting into the turbo. -
Cool! I like that straightedge that bolts down to the workbench--that looks handy.

10k is pretty high, but those L cab trucks are much in demand. If it doesn't have much rust, he may be able to get that for it.

Clint Eastwood movies wouldn't be the same without that great music.

That's quite a list of Macks!
-
That's a truck I would like to save. Somebody bring it east to Ohio and I'll take it.
-
That's a crazy looking rear mount on that 1693.
-
Something's wrong with your car...the needle went past the red line on the gauge.
-
Why do you say only under the hood?

I remember about 1974, a girl in my 5th grade class got a new Raleigh...it had a 5 speed with the shifter on the top tube, small front wheel, banana seat with sissy bar. All of us boys were jealous--that was the coolest bike we'd ever seen.
