R700 western style bonnet


Recommended Posts

I doubt on that.

Keep in mind Western R700 (which were correctly called RS700 or RL700) were built on their own style frames. The rails were straight end to end, with no spread or section decrease in the front like Eastern R's had. On the other hand the most Australian Macks of thouse days (or all of them?) were built using Eastern style R-model chassis. So it seems to me like just no RS/RL model ever exist in Australia.

The early US version of the RS700L was basicly a R700 Hood but with a larger grill that stuck down lower into the front bumper and the rear of the fenders were mated to frame mount splash gards. This hood may work on a Aussi R700 with some front bumper and battery box / fuel tank modifications. The cab may also need to be raised up a little?

The later US (1973-1978) version of the RS700L had a taller hood and the grill fit into it without any lower protrusion.

 

there are other little diffrences but thats the basics. See the pics below of the diffrent (Mack Western) hoods

the yellow hood is closer to a R700...
