Well I went by the place a while back and they brought in a huge excavator with a shear on it and most everything went into big dumpsters was a couple mounds of tires left but they are gone now too . 
sad to see it happen . 
but figured it would someday 

hopefully a few made it out of there 

😞

I got to know him a little bit ! 
he was a neat ole timer and if you stopped and had time he’d talk old trucks for hours 

they were all part of his company he said he built a lot of Rt 22 in that area and something to do with the state and money he just parked it all but nothing was for sale the few times I stopped .    But a few did leave the past few years. Couple brockways and a steel dash R model with a v-8 Detroit in it 

it’s on you tube loading and leaving on a trailer he had lots of stuff planes too !

not sure I will unless I don’t like it as is 

thanks for steering me in the right direction 

I really like this old truck people say I’m crazy for not getting a newer truck 

but I’ve always liked R models since I was a little guy

Hi. Fellas

I got a used rear mount pto for my R model

It has Mack 1070b 12 speed and it has hollow

Shaft pto fits and works but driveshaft yoke for rear end

Hits pto housing won't clear it

what's involved in making it clear

Changing shaft etc . Will parts off 6 speed interchange ?

Any info appreciated . My local Mack dealer not interested in trying to help me

Figure it out .

I had 6 speed apart when I went to Nashville auto diesel

is it similar ?

I think I have book from school

Looking for it . Thanks. Steve

Thank's David

That is helpful !

I appreciate it

Buy it if you can !

Looks good
