hello we have two at work on superliners but they will fit on R models too for $100 each

barry have you heard any more about the flaps

Hello everyone,

Im new to the this forum and I love the site. I am hoping that someone here can help me. My Dad used to drive for a company here in NW Pennsylvania. He hade a red 1976ish R model with a 325 V8. Does anyone here know where I can find a picture of any other V8 R models from around that era? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

here is my 1977 R with 865 v8 325hp

WHEN IS THE R.RW,DM& MORE STORE GOING TO BE DONE ON THE WATTS MACK SITE

I've got a '72 R700 with the ENDT-B865 V-8 and a six speed. The V-8 is pretty well done, just doing yard horse duties now. I have a 1987 EM6-237 from an MR with an automatic that I'd like to put in the R-700. I know I have to change the exhaust manifold and flywheel, but does anyone else know what else I have to change to get the EM6 in there (bellhousing, clutch,etc.)? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this has been done! I intend to keep the six speed in the R700. Thanks!

What are you doing with the v8 you'r taking out

I ordered my 2 sets today hope they come in soon can't wait to put them on

Well, Koneta pretty much shot me down! They don't want to touch this project. But I did contact Symplastics (another original Mack vendor) and they are looking into it. I actually have one of their old flaps and it looks pretty cool...what do you guys think?

They would pobally have to be white plastic as pictured, but I may still be able to do black plastic and/or rubber...Let me know what you think and I'll keep you posted.

white plastic is fine with me i just want 2 sets

does anyone know where to get R700 emblems at thank you

77mackr, I have all of my insurance with State Farm, and they have a antique vehicle program, I have my 2 macks insured with them, I dont know if they will sell a stand alone antique policy or knot. You have a real nice looking R-Model there, does it still have a winch? what kind? where are you located? I am currently driving a 74 R-700 with a similar rig up. Block.
