Popular Post leversole Posted November 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2014 I had seen a shiny R model pulling a dump whiz by the shop a few times, could never get a close look, well today, when he wizzed by, I grabbed my camera and jumped into my truck and began persuit...I have him in my sights, now just to stalk (get it, corn stalk! HaHa) to his destination!Looks even better up close...it really looks as if it could driven from a truck show! The trailer too!Interior was just as nice...The guy bought the truck new and TAKES care of it! The trailer too, it is over 25 years old and I thought it was a new one! The guy is from Doylestown, some of you fellow PA'ers may know him....He said he had a B model too! I think he works it, just said it was too many miles on this haul (Milton to Doylestown)...I was so giddy I forgot all the specs....287 (300?) and a nine speed OD, camelback...all Mack! It sure was cool to see an old Mack this nice working... 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b61mack Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 By the looks of the air cleaner it looks like a 285 and the transmission has been swapped or a 315 if the 9 speed is stock but it also looks like it has a charge air cooler too. anyway that is one nice looking R model, ,it looks like he takes pride in it.

Maddog13407 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 yup, with that air cleaner with a roadranger trans im thinkin it might be an R612 with a 300+ or someone put a roadranger in it behind a 285. either way it has an air cooler and looks like he grille is bolted to it?

Green Dash Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Beautiful!Keeping the exterior nice is one thing but it's not often you see an interior in such good condition. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 yup agree, gotta admit I hated the tan interior when its dirty but when its clean and tidy it looks pretty sharp. never really cared for the gray interior or the two spoke rubber steering wheel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff M Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 What a sweet ride. That guy deserves so much credit for keeping a working truck like that in such beautiful condition. And, the steering wheel isn't even cracked! I too like that wheel much better than the later two spoke black wheel. Beautiful truck. Thanks for tracking it down.
