Drove a couple R Models in the 70s. One with 6cyl Maxidine , and a285 horsepower v8.Great old trucks, not much for heat in the winter! Thanks for the video Mike.
Hey Mike!! Hows it going, brother? As another Dirt Dummy....I actually LOOKED FORWARD to going to get parts from Paul at Manchester Mack (before they were McDevitt)!! I used to love to go around and see the guys wrenchin' 24/7....love you brother!! 😎🫶 Be safe out there, man! Best Regards to the Fam! 🇺🇲💪👊💥🇺🇲
At 19:23 almost looks like an air starter tank right beside the fuel tank. Always liked the R model macks they were tough as nails except for the dash on them they were made of crappy thin plastic that always ended up cracking and looked cheap and fragile, the dash was total contrast to the rest of the truck. Awesome none the less
Well done Mike, aside from the Macks I think your right, it is all about what we leave behind I think if we can leave behind that we had decent morals and treated people fairly we have done okay As to collections of trucks or what ever, I don't really think that is to important Having said that, if my boy doesn't cart me off to be planted on the back of my Mack I am gunna haunt him lol Have a great end of 2024 and wonderful 2025
I owned a 67 RL-700L #855. The aluminum frame was cracked. The truck was in pretty bad shape. That green dump with the plow is an RD with the swing Fender option.

MACKS!!!!! Thanks Mike!
Lots of memories of WSG! The RS795 would have had a Mack Maxidyne 325 HP V8 under the hood from birth.
Hi from🛣️Dexter🏠Missouri🛣️
Onidea used to have KTA 600 engines to haul double bottom trailers up and down the ny thruway with 2 loads of beer growing up in the 70s
I still need you to stumble around the Pellegrino yard and get footage of the Brougham lol and old trucker stories
I've tried but they're keeping it private. I was there once about 12 years ago, I took a few pictures.
@TheBostonTrucker i guess I'll quit bugging you then 😅
Pictures don't do that truck justice!!!!! Lol
I think you are a Mack guy now my friend😝
Condolences to your friend ! ❤🙏
Mike,, are you sure that way down deep,,, you have a soft spot for Mack's ( Bulldog smiling at you),,😅
👍💪🏻🙏
That poor old Heil water tanker started life as a farm pickup milk tanker
Mike ever been to Mack museum in Allentown PA??
That steel nose butterfly hood is a Rd600 that's kind of a rare truck.
Well done Mike, aside from the Macks I think your right, it is all about what we leave behind
I think if we can leave behind that we had decent morals and treated people fairly we have done okay

The Mack had a gold dog on the hood because it’s all Mack motor tranny and rears rs means it’s an aluminum frame
As always.
I like materials and cambovers myself
My ex-father-in-law was good friends with Worcester Sand and Gravel owners and used to call them Worcester Mud and Dirt.
I owned a 67 RL-700L #855. The aluminum frame was cracked. The truck was in pretty bad shape.

Good mack
I have a friend , Dick Herts from Holden. 😂😂🎉🎉
👍
Mike your inspection on your car has expired
Hey Mike u r too a Mack guy u drove a u model and a zSuperliner showing how to drive a 12 speed Mack
I could be completely wrong. But is this vid is fairly recent, I think your Inspection Sticker might be expired.
Mike, why did
the U model have an offset cab ? What was the purpose of it ?
Shorter wheelbase... for city pedaling
My friend Dick Hertz was from Holden
I worked with a guy who always said that "Mack is a mans truck "
Thanks for the tour. You know you drive one of the two worst vehicles ford every made. The flex and the pinto.
