I put a ton of miles on a R model. It was a 375 with a 13 speed. Hauled gravel, sand and stone. Loved those Macks. Dave😊

[@crazymixture57]

Video was pure heaven to my ears! The great thing about Mack's were: sure they ain't the fastest. However they're reliable and got the torque to move mountains. My pap always used to say it's the truck that helped build America, and also: "Built Mack Tough". Great video as always and can't wait to see what the future holds for that old bulldog!

The R MACK is my favorite truck ever! I dont drive one but grew up watching my Dad run a front end loader in a gravel pit loading them up with gravel. Ahh the sweet memories😁 Also the mack has a very unique bogie.

[@Only4Trucks]

That's awesome! My favorite as well!

100% hands down my all-time FAVORITE truck as well. Specifically, as a kid I loved seeing R-Model Mack Leach garbage trucks haha but yeah...the R Model is timeless 😎😎

[@deborahchesser7375]

@@redline350zHRtake a look at a Mack DM 800 or DM886SX man talk about a majestic beast, no fiberglass to be found, butterfly hood and diamond plate steel fenders, they were all work, I learned in one of those. This truck here for example has #44k bogies, the DM I drove had #65k’s ! Heavy spec built she was with a Tri-Plex 15 speed and a 300 plus. If you ever get the chance to drive one I highly recommend it. 🐾🇺🇸✌️

I remember getting a R model in 1980 it was a 68 but it was like heaven after 15 years in a 1949 international L 190 I spent the next 40 years in Macks, there great for dirt haulers.

@@mintyman1968 wow! This might be my favorite comment. I was so afraid to start the 2nd channel because I knew it would be a lot of work and it was just the initial start up I was worried about. I'm very meticulous so I need to make sure the pictures and posts, and name, and logo and everything is enough to make me happy so with that being the case I knew it would make for a big loss of sleep. But it was well worth every minute of it. The reason I say that is because of this comment right here! To see and hear someone interested in something I put so much effort into it makes it so worth it for me! I do it all on my own as far as the content. Of course I have some help with ideas and financials at times with close friends and family but I out all the leg work in most of the time. It's definitely not easy. But thank you for being here from the start it really means a lot to me! Hope to meet you some day!

[@mintyman1968]

@@Only4Trucks I had a similar situation, deciding to start a channel for making videos of trucks (not my current one of course), and the amount of time, money, and work put into making good content is frequently underestimated. The pay off is great though, if you ask me. I’ve met so many great people through starting that, and I continue meeting even more. I hope to see you at a truck show one day. Unfortunately I live far from the east coast, but maybe ll find a show someday to go to over there

[@djgrumpygeezer1194]

Love that sound! Hope the Mack continues to work out for you. It’s a classic. In the 80’s I pulled chemical tankers behind an R Model E6 300/9 speed. Ran mostly Quebec and the Northeast. Lots of 2 lane, lots of hills. Traveled out into the boonies delivering to mines and paper mills. That Bulldog wasn’t fast or fancy (no radio, AC, or power steering), but it was tough, reliable, and pulled like a champ.

Truck looks great. The one I drove had a spring seat for the driver. But my first day, I had to sit in the jump seat. IT WAS SOLID! Good for stomach muscles! Your route brought back memories. Kensington ave, Castor ave, the constant construction on I-95, Nj turnpike (with some of the most Ignorant drivers in the USA, in the truck lanes) Was surprised to hear it came with AC! Mine had the wing vents and floor vents. My jake never sounded that good. As for the heat, I tried to keep rolling or stop in the shade. I finally got to move up to a Vision and Granite.(made for AC, but none worked. So no vent windows or floor vents, but air seat) and a stupid plastic bumper. I don’t miss Philly at all. I quit driving and got a job loading and unloading trucks. A driver came in with a loaded pallet at the very front of a 48’. I told him I didn’t think I could reach it, and if I did, it might fall. He told me to go ahead. It fell and hit his corner fender. Ten years later, I’m at a car show and off to the side are some R model Mack’s. I told my buddy, this one looks familiar. Someone tapped me on my shoulder and said, you’re the one who damaged my truck!

[@Only4Trucks]

That's awesome man! I'm glad I could bring back some memories for you. I agree on the stupid plastic bumper lol and that is hilarious on meeting that guy later on at a show that's awesome!

He had a 4x4 block of wood attached to his clutch pedal. I’m over 6’.

I have hauled my share of rebar from that location on Venango Street. Just loved Kensington Ave in the morning. That R Model seems like a decent truck. Give it a little time and you will work the bugs out it. You may need to put some insulation inside the cab under the rubber floor covering. I have used some from Eastwood Company and it made a big difference plus reduced road noise. I liked driving the R Models and got spoiled when the boss bought a 2 year old Pinnacle on Air Ride . Thanks for the update on the truck. Peace

Oh I've been waiting for this one. First truck I rode in was an 86 R .EM6 300 and 9 speed. My grandpa had 25 of em in the 90s. All of them were hot in the summer..really hot. Yours seems to run...well better then most. it's not just smoke and noise like some e-6s. It's snappy..and seems to pull well through the whole gear. As far as the ride...ours always had front end issues...especially running NYC and Perth Amboy etc ..they'd get tore up..but if your sure it's the cab...maybe too much air? Shocks Obviously...but for a long wheel base like yours has it should be better then most...maybe cab mounts? Haven't been around one in so long it's hard to remember if we had one like that. Can't wait to see more videos on this truck.

[@Only4Trucks]

Wow that's awesome! I appreciate that and I loved your story and wow 25 of them! I need 25 of them hahahah I also found the issue with the cab and will show it in the next couple videos! There will be a lot more videos for this truck. Be sure to stay tuned!

Man that Mack looks and sounds beautiful!! Great camera and sound work... and nice to see some old familiar turf; NJ TPKE, Frankford Ave. Good on you for scooping it up, and so clean... no doubt because of where you got it out in ND. Now I'm by no means a truck/Mack expert, but when it comes to managing heat coming off that engine into the cab maybe think about doing some of the same DIY low-buck tricks we apply to any performance engine to better manage heat bleed; - Turbo Blanket/Wrap - Wrapping manifolds, forward 3/4 end of the exhaust pipe - Can you fit an electric fan that kicks on when underhood temps reach a certain point If you're planning to get into cab structure and floor as you mentioned, think about applying heat shielding around and under the firewall and forward floor sections...??? I mean setup is strictly business...🤔 it's a Mack, ...a day cab, set up for heavy haul, so that combination isn't going to be too kind to your backside, and looks like you got a decent driver seat... but maybe there is something out there on the truck aftermarket that can be applied to the rear suspension setup on the tractor to control trailer whip/dampen lateral motion??

[@Only4Trucks]

Thank you! I appreciate that! I couldn't agree with you more. I'm not quite sure on what options there are to reduce the whip from the trailer as far as the suspension goes. But surprisingly I found out what the issue was and will share that in the next couple videos. I will also be trying a dynamat style panel to tape on the floor like insulation.

You keep forgetting your sunglasses LoL. God damn that Mack can haul. Can pick up speed very quickly. Watching you down shift and use the jack switch is as close as using a twin stick shifter.

That is few thing that different Companies that make truck engine is the sound. Mack, Cat, Detroit, Cummins, Paccar, and many other type of engines. The sound you can tell apart from the rest.

It really does! And I like them both for certain reasons so I would have to choose which one I'm driving depending on the day, but I may love them equally it's really tough to say. And it shouldn't be too much effort to seal the cab

[@bradpiovesan8550]

That Bulldog stamped jumper seat is awesome. Was the drivers originally like that?

[@Only4Trucks]

The drivers was he's, unfortunately it was removed before we got the truck. But I will be modifying the passenger seat to make it a bit more comfy

[@GlenOosterman]

Your engine brake sounds like its working on one head ,I drove one like that yesterday and the one I drove sounder better when using the jake

[@actionjackson5270]

Seeing that Bulldog in the passenger seat I remember well also

[@Only4Trucks]

Absolutely! That's awesome

[@quarter_circle_f_ranch]

I have seen momentary switches for a jake mounted on the floor next to the accelerator. Step on the switch to activate the jake, or possibly relocate the switch to the shift lever if wiring the clutch pedal and foot feed is to much of a headache.

[@Only4Trucks]

I've never seen that before. I'm hoping its not too bad to keep it simple but we will see

[@charleslopp9773]

Call me picky but the upside down steering g wheel would drive me crazy!

[@stevenbush5065]

Check the cab mounts.
