Dang sir, that is one handsome Mack! If I had one with an end dump, I would be out making $$$.

[@user-vb4zf2ui3q]

Very nice ride.

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

Thanks much driver

[@clint8063]

That’s a diamond. All the r models and I’ve seen had the neway air ride

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

Heck yeah I like the Hendrickson suspension better the Mack put on

[@2-ATrucker]

Beautiful truck

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

Thanks much driver

If you ever want to sell it let me know

I bet it rides a whole lot better than camelback. It also doesn't beat the truck to death. For most tractor applications air ride is the way to go. I would want a manual power divider however

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

It rides great for an R-Model, it does have a air locker

Beautiful Mack--- back when trucks were trucks.

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

Definitely made better than the truck of today

[@redneckrides6227]

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

Coming soon driver.

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

I definitely have driven those also. 😅

Beautiful R model. Looks great on red. Any specific reason it was built with an air ride suspension from the factory? What did it use to haul on it's hay day? What's the rest of the drive train? I love to hear the back stories on this awesome trucks.

What I was told from the farmer I bought us from in Central Illinois she said it was a Paving truck for a company in Chicago. It has a 9-speed with 442 rear ends in it now

[@TheBarkinTrucker]

That I have no idea of but the second owner told me it was a Paving truck out of Chicago
