JTFormula Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/3605863030.htmlDoes anyone know anything about this R in Bridgeport Ct that's for sale? I planned on calling the owner today but got busy and its a bit too late to call at almost midnight. I am at a disadvantage since I don't know much about these things so I wouldn't know what to ask besides the standard questions like which engine, what transmission, miles and what it needs. The price is right in the range I am comfortable paying for a hobby truck. Any advice would be useful.

Superdog Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 looks interesting,V8 emblems on the hood,possibly been repowered since it says it has a Cummins,see if you can get the VIN number.

Maddog13407 Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 someone has reworked her a little but every Mack has been. it has the marker lights in the headlight panels but also on the sides of the fenders so someone did this. i think they were only in the headlight panels for 2-3 years 65-67 or 68 i think. kinda like the B model dog on the hood haha. looks pretty nice except probably didnt come with a Cumapart in it Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30520-r-for-sale-in-bridgeport-ct/#findComment-173807 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Hancock Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I looked at it last weekend, for all of about 2 minutes. The cummins 855 is a transplant, hood doesn't fit right, rusty. Has a 9 or 10 now used to have an 18 spd guy said if it don't sell its going to Haiti. he says he sends a bunch there. looked at a couple other things he had and he wants bad money for everything that is basically junk.

felicello122 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 hey its still rare to find a long hood, rust will always be a factor, can probably chew him down some more, does it run?

Don Hancock Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Didn't see any U's Vinny. We had to meet the guy at his yard in one of the worst sections of BPT, then he said we had to ride with him to where the truck was because the guy didn't want anyone on his property. Then when we get there he says he don't have a key to the gate so we have to walk through some woods to get in. A real cluster all around.

2stacksuperdog Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Vinny, there is a guy that goes under as U.S. Heavy Equipment that sells on truckpaper from CT, i would imagine he has some U-models because i see them on there for sale and their still for sale a couple years later on other websites and you can see U/DMs in the background Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30520-r-for-sale-in-bridgeport-ct/#findComment-174255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
