This is on a  late 80’s R688ST. I know the pic only really shows the shocks but would this be the Mack st34 taper leaf?

All listed are excellent movies. Here are a couple more great ones. They call me trinity, and Trinity is still my name. Both very good spaghetti westerns to watch if anyone hasn't seen them.

Post a pic of the steering wheel once it gets done.

Found a 98 CH613 gold dog that I have some interest in. Talking to the seller who purchased it approx 7 years ago out of Illinois. I asked about the door vin plate and he said it's not the original Mack plate, it's stamped with the vin and Illinois state police. I had him confirm the frame number matches and it does. I suspect this was maybe a theft recovery truck or maybe had the doors stolen. Who knows!? Anyways are the vin plates available anywhere if a person wanted to stamp and put an original back on? I know the older ones used in the R and B models are available but haven't seen the newer style?

Also if I take the vin to a Mack dealer will the be able to give me a printout of the specs on the truck?

Thanks -Jeremy

I think there were 522 built from my research. B-71 is a fairly rare truck. I purchased a B cab and other parts from the seller, Nice guy. The truck no longer has the original engine or frame. I also remember him saying the front radiator cowl was damaged from towing the truck which is a shame as that's one major cosmetic piece that sets the truck apart from other B models.

like to have that 7 here for a few days .    I sat out a hell of storm there in mn very near your hometown in about 1965 or 6   tornados all over the place most rain I had seen at that time `a lightning show that seemed to go on continously  . that thing lasted most of the night . have`nt spent much time in mn since

Sounds like our state left a lasting impression on ya:)

I hope to have the 7 up and running soon. I cleaned the carb on starting engine and ordered up some new gaskets. Should be ready to wake the diesel from its 5 year nap any day now.

Looks excellent! I cant wait to see the finished truck. Keep up the good work.

The concave cab was available on a tandem frame.

Found this on the ACMOC forum. Looks to be a repowered Mack AB.

Ok looks to be a ENDT865 according to the build sheet. Can anyone tell me about these engines? Are they any good, What sort of problems should I look for?

Is this an 864? Its in a 1974 R700.

Looks like a dandy!

Definitely Looks like a nice complete truck and it even has the desirable aluminum tanks on both sides.

Welcome! Lots of great information on this forum.

A couple of nice looking trucks!

I believe Doug Fetterly was working on something for the B's. I spoke to him early this spring about his bumpers and thought I remember him mentioning something about visors too. Might check with him?

Jeremy

I ended up purchasing a new one from the dealer. Thanks!

Looks fantastic!
