Folks -

*** UPDATED - corrected model year is 1978, cab is 1987, was replaced at some point ***

I noticed this R-model for sale near where I work; talked with the owner's dad about it, and got permission to post it in out here in cyberspace. Here is what I saw and know, I may have more info in the next few days. I did not hear the truck run, just saw it in person and took pictures. If you are interested in the truck, please call 215-699-4012 8 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time, that will get you more information much faster than I can. I'm new to Macks, so forgive me if I mess up a little here.

Have fun, but be safe. You'll never drive a manual transmission the same way again - in anything!

This closed-cab pumper (Ruff!) is in Chester, NJ (a few miles from the open-cab that is in Flanders, NJ)...

Hi Randy -

I'm sure this item is since solved, but in the future for any old GM bus stuff on the East Coast, tell the folks to give Luke Bonagura at US Coach in Berlin, NJ a call - (888) 262-2434; 127 Cross Keys Road Berlin, NJ 08009. Very good with any type of older coach, big help to the bus conversion crowd.

Take care,
Brad (Souderton, PA, just down the road from you!)
