    not sure but I know a concrete guy and he says 9 yards is all they will put on a truck unless you're a regular customer then it's 10 but for those big projects they always load 11

    This is the most comprehensive response Thank you. It does conflict with what I've been told I researched my 686 before i purchased it and my local dealer said the vin indicates it was built with a Econodyne 350 Hopefully iI will hear from the Mack museum and get the VRI thank you again
  7. Prowrench
    Ok the 688 factory built Mack 9 speed, the 686 according to two dealers Econodyne 350 and 6 speed not looking to argue just trying to figure out what 685 686 and 688 are but i keep receiving conflicting info and the dealer doesn't know I emailed the Mack museum and haven't heard back this curiosity has me chasing my tail
  8. Prowrench
    is there a link to that info? my dealer is unable to provide any info
  9. Prowrench
    That's what I'm guessing wish i could pin down a year

    HMM? well I previously owned an "89 R688 with an Econodyne 4 valve 350, and currently own an"87 R686 with the same engine and according to mack and the vin the "87 was built that way.

    well I previously owned a 1980 R686 with the 300+ tip turbine and i previously owned a1989 R688 with a 4 valve 350 Econodyne and currently own a 1987 R686 with a 4 valve 350 Econodyne so that's in conflict but i do appreciate your response

    I watched a video which was a national geographic documentary on the Macungie factory. The documentary was in the recent past as they covered the Titan quite extensively. The Mack employee installing the bulldog explained that gold bulldogs go on a pedigree Mack and Chrome goes on a mixed breed or in other words one with components other than Mack. I purchased a 1970 steel dash R model in the early '80s which had a gold bulldog and I was led to believe back then that the gold bulldog was for Thermodyne engines and the chrome bulldog was for Maxidyne engines. Can anyone clear this up?
  17. Prowrench
    does anyone know what year the R model went from a multi leaf spring on the steering axle to the 3 leaf spring?

    It's not graffiti the Cadillac's are an art installation and the artist and also the owner encourage people to put their own touch on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Ranch

  20. Prowrench
    WOW! that was an interesting article. THANK YOU.
  21. Prowrench
    Funny thing is somebody painted it that color with a brush probably a long time ago too
  22. Prowrench
    for which model truck?
  23. Prowrench
    can't pinpoint a year but definitely from the 40's
  24. Prowrench
    right now it"s stuffed in the nose of a 53' trailer along with tons of other stuff, lost my lease and decided to just store everything for awhile until i find some property to build my dream shop.
