85snowdog Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That is one of my favourite R's . I hope one day my R688st will look as good. I think the owner is a BMT member , but not sure .

Vladislav Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Seeing the 1st picture you posted - R-model, I was going to type "it sure worth compliments" But seeing the rest I realized I just don't have enough of the buttons on my keyboad to describe how neat you collection is Thank you for sharing with us. I just rest with a wonder of how much time and how many craftmans' labour hours or years were spent to make such beautifulization.

sodly Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Not to interrupt the cheering but... dumb question. Can someone remind me what year the classic R model with round headlights ended production? I always forget. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48250-1989-mack-r-688st/#findComment-360262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamsterGrrrl Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 IIRC 1989 was just about the end of the basic R model production. However, RBs with round headlights appear to have been built through 2006.

james j neiweem Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Were there any of the later R models with E7 engines. I know the RB's and RD's had them.

The Volvo engines were never installed in the R model variations, I suspect the 13 liter Volvo would only fit in the Superliner and it was discontinued in the early 90s. Thus the E7s were probably the only engine available in the last of the R model variants. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48250-1989-mack-r-688st/#findComment-360283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) As I remember there weren't that many axle forward Brocks with the Mack cab. Beautiful blue Brock. Looks as good as a Superdog if not better.

Jeff M Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Autocars are a close second to Macks for me. Particularly that first one, '69 or '70 I'm thinking? Absolutely gorgeous.

66dc75 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 My truck was a member of your family at one time, your father rescued it from a field somewhere in Ct. , sold it to a guy who sold it to a friend of mine and it ended up with me.
