Sure miss my 1978 R model Mack, loved that truck. It was one pullin' machine. When I went out of business, it sure hurt my feelings to sell it. Thanks for bringing back the memories and I'd love to drive one again, too old now I guess, but just loved it. Once a trucker, always a trucker!!
I’m right there with ya brother, I drove a 75’DM800 hauling coal during the summer 82’-85’ in SE Ky. I had to learn quick, one mistake in the wrong place and it’s game over, over the mountainside. It had a 300 plus and 15 Tri-Plex and like you said, do nothing but pull. It had #55k bogies so she wouldn’t win any races but could pull with anything.
Great video! I miss that gear whine and stick rattle of a Mack tranny. Not very many R models being worked like this anymore doing for hire trucking, thanks for sharing.

From. Canada. / I. drove. those. in. northern. Alberta. Canada. in. the. oilpatch. back. in. the. middle. 1980s. tell. early. 1990s mostly in. the. wintertime. - 20. below. or. colder. with. a. winterfront. (covering. front. grill. too. help. keep. the. heat. in. the. truck- cab) even. though the. truck. had. a. good. heater. in. it. , the. R. model. Mack. are. one. tough. truck. used. Lots. in. the. past. for. oilfield. and. construction. and. I. found. they. alway’s. started. well. in. the. winter. , but. you. never. shut. (. the. engine. off. in. real. cold. weather. ). and. if. it’s. not. that. cold. wintertime and. you. do. shut. the. engine. off. make sure. you. plug. in. block. heater. ( keeps. the. oil. in. engine. warm. ). in. wintertime. and. park. on. Level. surface. with. your. air. brakes. off. and. block. the. tires. on. the. truck so. it. will. not. roll ahead. or. backward’s. and. the. brakes. won’t. freeze. up. by. your. back brake. drum’s. Those. old. R. model. Mack’s. Look. pretty. nice. when they are. totally. restored. , but. who. can. afford. that. unless. your. rich. ,And. I. don’t. know. about your. state. ,I. have. been. too. Wichita, Kansas. back. in. the. 1970’s. Long haul. from. Calgary. , Alberta. Canada. , I. almost. signed. up for. custom. combining. from. Canada. ,when. I. was. around. 19 or. 20. year’s. old. back. in. the. Late. 1960s. / The. crew. I. was. told. would. start. the. harvest. in. Kansas. and. work. your. way. back. north. too. western. Canada. ( for. fall. harvest. Canada). never. went. , Went. too. work. as. a. roughneck. ( oil rigs. for. awhile.). Alberta. and. Saskatchewan. Canada. If. I. we’re. you. especially. in. the cities. watch. we’re you. park. your. truck. and. trailer. , I. ‘ ve. been. told by. trucker’s. and. farmer’s. and. ordinary people. there. stealing those. Bulldog. hood. ornament’s. off. those. R. model. Mack. truck’s. especially. the. Gold. ones, probably. Crackheads. (. Drug. user’s. ) apparently. there. worth. something. Like. the. RAM. hood. ornament. on. the. old DODGE. pick- ups. Like. the. 1985. I. own sitting. in. the. backyard. of. my. home. , As. I. remember. Kansas. was. a beautiful. state. Like. Texas. ( been. too Midland. , Odessa. ,Houston. and. Dallas. Texas. ) over. the. year’s. /. Good. Luck with. your. R. model. Mack. they. are. a good. working. truck. and. have. a. good. day and. I. hope. the farmer’s. in. Kansas and. all. the. southern states. ( Get. a good. harvest. crop. this. year. ) People. must. remember. farmer’s. feed. the. citie’s and. trucker’s haul. the. food. too. the. cities / All. my. best. Bill. S. Canada
