Lmackattack Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 A western Mack would have been built in Mack's Hayward California plant.There were many models made there not just r models.The difference between a east coast r700 and west coast rs700L Is that the west coast 700 had a taller hood as the cab was raised up off the frame about 6" the frame rails were straight nose to tail and could be aluminum or steel. Bob mentiond a lot of other things that were different. Western Mack's were built to operate in hot weather with big motors and compete with other west coast truck mfg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
