1985 Mack R686 Tractor


Recommended Posts

How the heck would you ever get into or out of that little sleeper ,I am pretty broad across the shoulders and would have to lay on my side .Of course now that I am old and grey and have a considerable circumference  around the middle and those Macks were kinda cramped, Motel 6 leave the light on.

At least the Mack has a bigger rear window then either a Louisville or KW of that Era....

28-30 inch Sleepers were pretty standard fare here in the 60's right up until the early 80's..

Took this picture of the rig under previous ownership at Rutland, VT.  The picture is pretty rough and gets worse as I tried to enlarge it to get the info off the door.  I think it is painted with "Mike" on the top line and "Galway" on the second line as Maddog indicated.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
