gmcsierraclassic Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Good day all,I have a special request to make...I'm a modeler who makes customized model truck with every details possible, and plan to make a detailed RS600 or RS700 model soon, but I can't have access to such a truck in my area for a photo walk around of the parts that are particular to the RS600/RS700 series compare to the R600/R700 regular Macks...I've seen only 2 RS series Mack with my own eyes in 40 years!!!! I'm in eastern Canada, and these things seemed to not come around here back then....I got access to Mack brochures for the Valueliner series from the mid-eighties, but it is really not useful as for frame and suspension components.Does anybody have a RS600 or RS700 and that would be kind enough to take detailed pictures of the frame, crossmenbers, air tanks and air lines path through the frame rails so I could make an accurate model of such a Mack? The path of the air lines that go from the air tanks under the battery boxes on either sides of the RS series is a mystery to me, as well as front spring hangers and cab supports.Any photo walk around of such parts would be greatly appreciated!!! I've contacted Mack headquarters, and they were very helpful in providing old brochures and such, but as for frame details, you guys will be of greatest help!Thanks,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcsierraclassic Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 Real nice truck! I had seen some pics of it before while googling the net for RS700 and RS600 pics. It remembers me of a special truck that I don't need to mention....LOLAnd would it be possible for you to make a photo walkaround of the frame, crossmenbers and air lines and electrical along the frame rails for me? It would be really appreciated....Yours is the perfect candidate for a photo walkwaround!THanks a lot,Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 If the weather is good tomorrow I will take my camera to the yard. I have a deck plate on the truck so its hard to see the cross members. I will do my best. need any under hood shots? regarding the air lines. every truck is a little diffrent.On my truck the Driver side rail has most of the air and electrical lines that go to the rear of the truck. The passenger side has a few lines for the parking brakes. Trent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
