That 2 piece grill was used on early RS/RL 700s with the hood that was not as tall as the later RS/RL. Basically a R700 style hood where the tire to fender gap was very obvious. The later model RS/RL hoods had lower fenders with taller hood sides thus reducing the tire to fender gap. These had a single piece grill. The bar in question held the hood from flexing outward because the aluminum grill was not as rigid as the later single piece grill. The 2 piece grill was on a hinge so the hood could tilt. I suspect they moved away from the 2 piece grill because it was not as sturdy. Heck even my late model RS700 hood with single piece grill will allow the hood to flex when opening in the wind.

anyone know the size of the rear hub cap used on mack axles? I think they are different than Eaton axles?

Anyone watching it live on youtube.

Let me know if it falls thru.

I will add my .02 Mack camelback is a off road suspension. I never understood why mack kept pushing to sell it to all buyers use when most other truck builders pushed their buyers to air ride. Air ride is not just better for driver comfort but it also dont beat the truck to death either. The E7 in my opinion is limited to a vocational engine by todays standards. they were reliable but once the E7 moved to electronic they were just gutless . thats probably why they were so reliable becase they were weak on power and thus seam to last longer. sure they will do the job but just not as efficiently as a big bore cat or detroit can. "no replacement for displacement" The cab over parts will pretty much be a junk yard hunt so dont expect mack dealers to be of much use. If you want a good solid nice truck look at years 2000-2007 Pete or KW. pre emission trucks with Cat 3406 or C13, C15 power. you pay more for a cat but I feel you get what you pay for. parts are still available for both truck and engines and you will be better off in most situations. I love my old macks but I dont think I would ever buy a newer mack. this is after company driving them and seeing how dated they are in the HP race and the difficulties it is to get some basic parts for them. When I drove a 2002 pete it was always a breeze to get parts from the pete dealer. not so much for a 2007 mack. And someone asked about Gregg Hoffman and his MH. he is still driving it but it has a Cat in it now I think Ray parked his MH and is driving for Walmart now for the Insurance. Have a good one

I have not looked behind the dash for the plug. That was one of my questions as if they would build the dash harness with it set up for a power window even if not installed I will check the fuse panel to see if it has a slot available

how difficult is it to swap from a manual to power window. Im just intrested in the Passenger window for now. 1) will the power regulator bolt in the stock door shell? 2) is there a special wire harness that can simply plug and play between the door,dash harness and the dash switch? Thank you

If you want mack rears and you currently have eaton then a complete axle swap is going to be cheaper in the long run. only thing to check at that point is if the axle tubes are the same size to accept any parts that clamp down on them to hold it to the suspension. My opinion is to stay with eaton. far easier to get parts for these days. 20 years ago id dissagree with my current statement.

🤡Get your popcorn ready and lets all have a laugh.🤡 NEWS FLASH.... it will be a re badged Volvo but this time "Mack" (if you can still call them a truck company) will even share the same cab with volvo. the stupidity of truck Mfg these days is impressive.

Sold my B75 yesterday to a nice young Gentleman from Easter KY. It was a cool old truck sitting up higher on a 78' R model Frame. but it had frame issues and I just didnt have the time to giver her what she needed. The kid already has a good western star frame with air ride rears and I think he might swap the B75 body and engine over into his good frame. This Truck has a 285 Tipturbine with a 5 speed and 3.87 rears. R model Steering and steering column that made it a breeze to turn. If had not been running since late october but we got it fired up pushing it with a cat excavator and he drove it up on the trailer. first time I had started it in winter temps and it was not too dificult all considering I was pushing with an excavator and had no speed with it. It was refreshing to see a young man with intrest in the old Iron. even brought his grand dad with him for the 20hr round trip. sad to see it go but hope this young man can do more with it than I can. Great guy if you know him heres some photos I took yesterday

OK thank you. I have a friend who was asking me if I had one and Wanted to confirm. Thank you

can anyone tell me what this bellhousing bolts up to. internet say its a E6 but want to confirm Date stamp is 1972 part number 634gc5194 thank you

If I remember right on the factory installed dual breather RW I Drove it had a reinforcment bracket on the passenger side similar to how the drivers side is.

I know they suffered from the ho low range syncronizer. they often grinded between range changes. Not macks best transmission but when they were working right they were not all that bad for a road truck. as far as value. they are not a popular option by people looking to swap in a diffrent transmission.

I bought the truck with The tip turbine already installed. But still kinda cool to see how they fabbed it up
