It says '237 motors'!, it says '$2000'!

END-475 is a Mack and an END-465 is a Scania, IIRC. Correction to the above, END 475 is the Scania, and END 465 is the Mack.

like Jim says, it is an early one. I would say 1967-68. The oil filter on top of the fender is a 'WGB', called an Oil Clarifier. They were standard on Mack engines from about 1963 until the ESI system was released around 1972, at a guess.

I reckon it looks like crap.

My favourite is mid 60's through to mid 70's. Then into the 80's.. Mack B, F, R, Cruise-Liner, Super-Liner then Ultra-Liner is covered.

The pic of the new AC's in the paddock is an Allentown Pennsylvania pic.

Sad news indeed. I spent lots of time browsing his Flickr photostream. RIP Bill.

Whether we like him or not, he is a role model for the younger generation. He is not a GOOD role model.

Greg, I've often wondered this myself. Is an R-600 with a steel front the same width as a DM-800 across the fenders? A track measurement isn't accurate enough because of the different axle widths and tyre sizes.

In late 1971 early 1972 the FR-700R's became available with a fibreglass cab. These cabs were made by Reinforced Plastics in Melbourne.

The Ultra-Liner was available in Australia from the begining of 1985. It was built on an R model chassis and was designated MHR. From 1985 till mid 1991 there was about 250 Ultra-Liner's produced in Australia. Around the end of 1992 or begining of 1993 the Ultra-Liner 11 was released. These trucks had a raised cab and a setback front axle. The Ultra-Liner 11 appear to have been mostly E7-454 powered. IDSTBC on this. I'm not sure on production numbers or when production ceased on these Mk11's.

If it's a 'Maxitorque' box, they often rattle or chatter when in neutral.

It sounds like it would be from a Bus, a C-50DT serial number 1477

Nice old Peterbilt, I wish it was mine. The cabs don't rust like the F series Mack cabs do. Although that F cab looks like an extremely good specimen.

If it is an R-600 factory fitted with square tanks, to fit the round Mack tanks you might need to raise the cab. Or lower the tanks.
