RB Mack.Hi, They were NZ only. R series with set back front axle, the bonnet was made here, done by local Mack dealer and importer Motor Truck Distributors.Similar set up to the Aussie set back axle Value Liner, no v8 version here though.

V8 375, eh? Now that's a hawse!

Thankyou All, I'm enjoying the site alright, all the different configurations, models etc that have never been here in NZ are fascinating, always have and probably will always be biased towards the dog.

Hi All, I am an owner operator here in New Zealand. We have a CH Mack truck and trailer, we carry bulk aggregates, coal, fertilizer etc around the mid and upper north island here. I am a mechanic by trade, have over 30 years in the transport industry. I would like to restore at some stage an R700 with the 375v8. I will post some photo's etc once I have managed to learn how to navigate this site.Regards, John H.
