I even owned one of the first Maxidine trucks that had a separately bound Maxidine Supplement owner's manual. Not one of them had a gold bulldog. I still have an 86 R600 285, TRXL107, Mack 38,000 on camelback with 125,000 original miles and bought from the original owner. Nope no gold dog

Mack was great until the mid 80s when Renault and the most horrible and my most hated vehicle company Volvo started sticking their hands into ownership. You can't beat the Maxidyne and 5/6/12 speed Maxitorque. So glad that I was born and raised in PA because I'm in the heart of old Mack country and I still see R models and Superliners on the road and still working (not show princesses) ;). Not to mention our Eastern Macks look better than the Western Macks. I'll take a more plain day cab R700 than an RS700 any day of the week.

A very classic looking Mack truck that turns heads when it turns up at any truck shows etc. Alway looks like it was just made yesterday. Bloody awesome, and good to see it with some other American Mack Iron. Ned has spent a hugh amount of time rebuilding this awesome truck. Even better news, he is Currently working on a 8 wheeler FR to match also in the Freightways colours so can't wait to see them side by side just like in the 1980's.

What would the New school drivers have done if they had to drive them for a living Now !😶😶😶 They would be lost. I know , because I drove everything out there. Don't get me wrong, I Love the air ride instead of spring ride and the 18 speed, But I still Lover the R model Macks, Once in awhile !😁😁

@@michaelcuff5780,if I can remember correctly (the way the story was told to me, by a couple of older owner/drivers), Mack had a strike, at one of the engine plants around that time, & yes, were assembled with Detroit engines too. Detroit was also distributing information (thru it's engine dealers/distributors, around the same time), to repower older Macks, & install new Detroit engines into glider kits.

Definitely the best of the MACK brand, although the SUPERLINER held its own too but was most definitely the last of the breed to earn the MACK reputation. The modern day MACKS are just a name, nothing special about them.

Weyerhaeuser had several B model Macks with R cabs. They were purchased in 1965 all used for log trucks Snoqulamie had 5 or 6 of therm as did White River. and Pee-Ell. Looking back, they had to be at the exact time of the change over. They had the B model butterfly hood and the rounded fenders. I think they were labeled B 81s. I got to drive a R600 with a quadraplex annd a 14 yard gravel box on it. Probably the best truck I ever drove until I got my '69 KW 923. The R cab was probably the finest truck Mack ever made especially for someone who was over 5'9". The DM series was a real mistake. I drove a 72 DM 800 and went back to my old 66 R cab for the comfort and reliability.

Your movie mistake about the Mack in Die Hard is wrong. The R model Mack dump truck shown in the movie was the second to last truck in the convoy used buy Grubers gang and it dislodged the steel plate covering a hole on the road causing John McClane to stop to put the plate back so he could cross with the Autocar dump truck he was driving. I know this movie extremely well as I do all the Die Hard movies.
