j hancock Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Good looking Rig! Got the scoop so it is running a tip turbine setup. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 yup, tip turbine and the ridge that goes around the back of the fender molded into the hood. 77-79 right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Looks like a mid seventies truck to me with them Marker lights and the tan dash. Probably a 77' like Matt said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offset-U-bet! Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Absolutly love it! I love to see the oldies still in service. Our 88 R has 175k over a million and we won't ever give it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 has the old style bumper to. nice truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I would say it is 73-74 maybe 75, by looking at the smaller bumper and tow hooks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah, tan dash, old style marker lights, old style bumper, and the newer style air grabber thing on the roof vent leads me to think its 73-75. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Reinhart Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I believe the mechanic I spoke with said 74...but that could be the other one..

Maddog13407 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 didnt the line on the back of the fenders that went all the way around start in 77 or so and the hood scoop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yeah the line around it was 77 and the round tanks started in 78 so im thinking 77 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I know for a fact the truck in the link below is a '73 because I remember when it was new. It's almost identical to the one above.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60s-R-Model-Mack-D-THEODOREDIS-SONS-PA-8x10-truck-photo-/271052708089?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f1c0018f9 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
