Popular Post 66dc75 Posted January 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've wanted an R model for a long time. Finally found the right one. '67 with a 673 turbo 250 horse and a duplex. Nice solid roadworthy truck. This is the last piece to round out the collection. Photos are a little dark. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3000 was an S Malatesta truck and the R was Tom Amaducci's, we are trying to import all the NJ antiques to Mass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I had seen it for sale and thought it was a good price for the truck. Good luck with it.

yarnall Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nice truck. I can't believe it took so long to sell. The price was right. I have seen a lot less for way more. I like the Malatesta trucks too. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 I was surprised that it was for sale for so long too. I think it was advertised only on the ATHS online ads so it might have gotten missed by a lot of people. This was the best truck by far for the price that i saw. It bobtailed 250 miles home and it didn't miss a beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Tom said it was a good truck with nothing wrong with it and I believe him. I would have liked it but spent all my money last year on the house and junk Internationals. Have fun with it. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Anybody know what years the r models had half dogs on the doors? There aren't any on this truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Half dogs started mid 60's until 1978ish. I have looked at various factory photos and some trucks don't have them. I haven't seen a truck order form. Possibly an option? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
