    Cab exterior is pretty much the same from 73-04. Diffrences would be cowl depending if it's a r model or later rd. Overall construction is pretty much the same thru years. A cab from 81, should bolt to a 94'. Electrical and air will differ slightly. Galvanized cabs started in 85'? Interior options had some changes thru the years mainly in dash construction and layout. Headliner was changed and overhead consol was added in mid 80's Door catch and latch changed in the mid 80's

    Thankfully I was not on that job when it happend...heard about it and sounds like it was ugly....did not know the guy as he runs a smaller grinder that they move with their own rig...we just lowboy their larger grinder for them. I was in the south loop all day with them today and back out to the south side tomorrow...

    Running with a road resurfacing crew the past few weeks.. one of the only Chicagoland crews that grind and pave all in the same day.. fast pace work often doing 2 or 3 locations per day. .

    Another place to measure that may help figure this out is to measure what a r600 is from center of front wheel to front of cowl...then measure what a r700 and rs700 is....if I was up around my truck ...rs700l....I would measure for you..

    ABC supply had a bunch a while back...never drove one but thought they would be a great end dump puller as long as they could turn good...still see a few red bulk haulers running around town...

    I don't have exact measurements but a rs700 hood should be about the same length as a r700 hood.The difference will be taller hood hight on later model rs700 A rs700/r700 hood is about 10-12" longer than that of a r600 hood. As far as how far off the frame the cab sits....my rs700 was about an inch lower than the 2 superliners that I measured. I was able to use a superliner air ride cab set up on my rs700. If I recall the cab is about 5" higher than a standard r model.

    I took a side road that ran along side the Santa fa railroad in tehchapi California. This was the famous tehcapi loop that most railroad buffs know about....well map view looked like I would be fine plenty of room. Some tight turns. No restrictions etc... I had that race car trailer inches from stone rock cliffs and rock walls trying to get around turns,oncoming lane. But I made it and got to see some cool views....but next time I will take the. Car or bike instead!. Guy did the right thing and stopped.

    If I recall the last batch of trucks Greco bought was in the mid 80's about 7 years ago I stopped in to check out the 2 rs700l they had for sale...at the time they had 1 or 2 very low milage R models just sitting up on jack stands not being used. Think they just had them for spare trucks? They seam to have been doing a lot of trucking lately, not sure if they have been busy with road work or other projects....?

    Anyone who supports a Muslim president after all we have been thry with them.....is a traitor....regardless of what party the president belongs to.... To bad Americans have to deal with the overwhelming amount of sheep that keep breeding.... Regardless the 1 million bikers really put it to the cock sucking libs today. And they proved a point that you don't need permission of the government to show support of the fallen or to remove the Muslim protest scheduled for today... If half the libs could do what the bikers did today I might have a different tone...but they are what they are...Useless......period. Trent Blasco

    I went into queens last year with a 53' freight trailer...it sucks......seams every one from NYC thinks its normal to drive a big truck into streets made for horse and wagons?.....after my adventure i would bet that 90% of NYC would make a 30' trailer a pita to get around.... Good luck that area looks just as tight as the place I went into.....oh man.....this will not be a good day for you....

    Really nice r model.....how is the interior? I never liked the wide spread look either but I bet they rode nice on air...our spread axel trailers rode so smooth.
  17. Lmackattack
    I came out of long island heading thry queens and exiting ny from the south went across a toll bridge that was $70 some dollars.....wtf... My best advice is if you can....go thru ny city at night...you think Chicago is bad in the day time......ha ha......I can't wait to hear your story on this run...the gw bridge is pot hole hell on the east side.... No where to park.... Just get thru it at night and hopefully get out a different way.....good luck!

    Looks like its a Canada built Mack with the big tanks and spread tandems.

    I used asphalt sticky back sheets on the whole inside of my RS700L cab. Made a huge improvement in sound reduction. I can't comment on heat reduction but it cut the vibration noise level down pretty good.

    Dident know you were into that kind of stuff brad...I know a few girls that do that kinky dominate stuff, they are real fun when drunk. What ever floats you boat....

    My new horton fan clutch on my rs700 was less than 200 and I recall not to long ago when they sold new for less than 100.
  25. Lmackattack
    It will fit with ease....the 700 series had options for Detroit,and Mack early v8s. If i recall The e9 is no longer than the inline 6 turbo fitment may have to be adjusted but should work
