Rob why did the early to mid 70s V8s have the Farr air cleaner, did they flow more air than the donaldson. Ron -
The 8 track sounded a lot better than the cd they got now, i miss the steel guitars, banjos.

I have bought a few Mack parts from him in the past, real nice guy to deal with. its been a while since i have been there maybe (3-4) years. i live about 75-100 miles from there. last time i was there the yard was kinda bare. i guess i will have to make it over there to see what new he has. Ron

R600 Chassis Number
b61mack replied to cbm04's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Rod, R-conventional cab, 6-model series, S-steel frame , 11-ET673engine ,L-lightweight componets, ST-six wheel tractor. i got this from a Mack highway model identification pamplet. Ron -
It looks like it could be a 300 - 300+ or early 350, it has a two stage charge air cooler, you can see the coolant lines on the water pump housing and the front of the oil cooler. Ron

Good looking Macks, it is hard to belive an old 672cid 285hp would move somthing that big. i guess you picked the right kind of truck, you dont need 500-600hp engine. the Mack has done its dutys well. Ron
