I'm not sure the difference. I was going to go look at it in the morning but he said there is one guy ahead of me and he thinks he will buy it.

Is there any reason to stay away from a walking beam rear suspension? Most I have looked at were camelback, but I found one with 38K rears on a walking beam that looks decent. 500K miles on the truck.

I am not seeing those but FB Marketplace is terrible. I'll keep looking, thank you.

Good to know. I’m relatively new to Mack trucks and did not know some were made in Canada.

That one looks good and I might message him to see. I'd love to find one closer to SC if I can. Have a couple leads but I'm waiting to here back from them.

I just came across a truck that has a VIN Tag that Says Mack Canada Inc., Oakville, Canada. Does that just mean it was originally sold in Canada? Would it have still been built in Allentown? I believe its an 81.

Thank you, that is a good list of things to watch for!

I’m not necessarily looking for low miles, but want to look for signs that it is over a million. I’ll watch for the numbers lining up. Thank you.

Hello all, I am looking for an R model and could use some advice. I am going to look at a 1988 tractor, to be used on a farm or to take antique tractors to shows. My grandfather has R model dump trucks when he had his grading business, and it would be nice to surprise him with this. The one I’m looking at soon has very low miles, under 200k that the owner says is original. I have my doubts but can you recommend things for me to check/look for to give an idea if that is true? Anything else I should watch out for before buying? This truck has the 350 and a 15 speed. Best I can tell, Mack didn’t make a 15 speed so it’s likely an Eaton, but that’s something I need to confirm. I am looking forward to getting one of these to restore and use. If anyone knows of any for sale near South Carolina I’m interested in that as well.
