granitefan713 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I took pics of these two old Macks today; however, I have no clue what models they are. I'm only up-to-speed on current models. I was wondering if you guys could help me out? Quote http://www.flickr.com/photos/granitefan713/-Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The one on the left is a DM 800 and the one on the right is a RD 600. Drove both models years ago and would love to find an old 800 to restore someday. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

granitefan713 Posted December 28, 2006 Author Share Posted December 28, 2006 Ah, thanks for the response. That DM800 had a twin stick and the RD600 had an Eaton 8spd Roadranger if you were wondering.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I agree with HK, tough old trucks that with care will last a lifetime. They do look in good shape but would look great in Mack red with my name on the door,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog man Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Why were those trucks at a Peterbilt dealer?Did someone have a complete mental breakdown and trade them in on Peterbilts? HK MY THOUGHTS EXACTLLY I have 2 friends of mine who was working for family (they are bro-inlaws to each other) they both broke off thier own 1 wanted to updated his equipment from a 89 DM the other had 2' 97 RD Triaxle 'S he told the other he would sell him 1 @ a reasonable price needless to say the bro-inlaw who wanted to update went from a Mack to a PETE CAUSE HE SAID YA COULD CHROME A MACK OUT LIKE A PETE & MAKE THE LOOK SHINY LIKE A PETE . PERSONALLY I THINK THE 1 BRO-IN-LAW IS FOR GETTING A PETE JUST CAUSE YA HAVE MORE CHROME OPTIONS I DIDNT THINK A DUMP BUCKET WAS SUPOSSED TO BE CHROMED OUT LIKE A ROAD TRACTOR SHEESH THE Pete he has now isnt half the truck the HE HAD OR THE HIS BRO-INLAW has now Happy new year yall Bulldog Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.
