What year and where is it located and what transmission

Very nice

thanks for the replies. I'll  let him know

My nephew just bought 2 2008 garbage trucks which i believe are MR,s and he said when you turn the key off the 2 outside cab lights stay on you have to turn key back to acc then they go out. Ive never been around one so i was wondering if there's a seperate switch for the lights like how the R models have 2 switches. He said its a rotary style switch rather than toggle switches like the R model

No coronavirus for me.  I’m stocked up on high quality China made safety masks from harbor freight.  Lol.     I respect a lot of people’s knowledge and experience on this forum.    I really like seeing pictures of people’s projects(including yours).  That’s why I post mine.   There are a lot of trucks on here that are absolutely beautiful originals.   Some sit in museums and others that should.    I really respect the time, skill, and $ people put into them.   That being said, I don’t want a truck like that.   I’ve had this hooked to a pulling sled a dozen times, drove through down pours, and had it stuck in the mud.   I get home dump a gallon of oil in it and it’s good for the next time.     My goal now is to give “back in black” some burnout competition at the gerhart show. Lol

yea i say your truck your money build it the way you want it. i think it looks pretty good. was told that last r model i did was nothing more than a parts truck but i put it to work with no problems and as far as i know its still running up and down the road. i do things the way i want them and don't really care what others think.

Where are you located

Franklin Pa

still have most of this if anyones interested. also have a couple air wipers i replaced with electric ones

i never saw to many chrome dayton wheels around here but they have a lot down under

 that green #20 Superliner in the background looks pretty sharp. i like that color

i don't care what anyone says there was never a better truck built than an R model

sure are some good looking trucks down there

don't get no better than that

I'm running a 2016 mack cxu 612 doing ltl freight rarely have over 20000 in the box and avg 6 mpg. the first truck i owned a 1969 r model pulling a dump grossing 75000 to 80000 or more and avg 5 mpg. not much improvement in all those years. maybe running all flat land you might get better but running in the hills that about the best i can do.

Wow!!  So im in the wrong with the 6 trucks that are all 1993 or older that we have greatly modified to be better more efficient trucks for us?  Not to mention the modified trucks that we have sold.  Seems to me that if your paying for it you should have what works best for you.  My 1.6 million mile 26 yr old road tractor does a fine job. Its had many mod's done to it.  Very rarely does it go a day without at least 1 compliment.  If its man made it may fail someday. If its new electronic P.O.S. it WILL fail. And you most likely cant fix it on the side of the road to get ya home. Just my thoughts.  One of our 93's had a PEEK 3406C. The other 3406C is mechanical. I converted the PEEC to full mechanical pump. Twice the truck now.  My 83 Mack still goes trucking during the summer.  The E9 gets @ 6.1 MPG.  Each to their own but im with "The King Of Obsolete".  Hope im not too opinionated, just wanted to add my 2 cents

nope i say your right on the money
