Tony C Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I have a sales brochure for a 1968 R-685T. It has some writing on it where the salesman took some notes during the discussion of the sale. (Final sales price is noted as $15,369.00. We bought 2.) Also, I have the "Operation manual" for the 1968 Maxidyne engine. Perfect condition. Also, I have 2 original Mack keys that have the Mack name and bulldog on them from 1968. 2 different key codes. One for each truck we owned. That's all I have. I do not have the trucks. I do not have anything else. I do not have any parts. (I've dealt with you "old truck guys" before.) Free to anyone interested. Just send me your address and I'll mail it to you. tonycashmail@yahoo.com I'll update this post when it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Mailed to ditchdigger today. Those trucks hauled mail from Louisville to Paducah, KY (200 miles) 7 days a week from 1968 to 1985. Over 1.2 million miles on each. Then my uncle put dump beds on them and used them in a gravel pit for another 10 years. Got our money's worth I'd guess. Good luck guys. Stay safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way a modern truck will have that longevity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
