Made new mounts today, not perfect but alot better than what we had. The mud flap i used wasn't the same thickness everywhere but i think it will work okay.

My parts truck showed up Friday. Getting some sanding done even had my helper working on it. Everything is really solid just had a lot of chips in it. Its still the original paint which isn't bad for this part of the country.

I like the gauges. I wanted those for in my Superliner but I couldn't get them in everything I needed.

I had a 2000 Ch with a 400 and it was pretty sick. Very dependable but not much on a hill. My 89 R with a 350 would run circles around it. -
R Model Rollback
keg1 replied to maint1's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Nice looking truck -
1750 rpm will only run about 60 mph. It has the 3 leaf rear springs , aluminum rearends, which I don't think I've ever seen. Everything seems lightweight on it and I don't know what ratio the rears are but I wouldn't they would be that low.

I had a 350 and 9 speed in my 89 and it ran great. I figured the 300 wouldn't be bad but I don't know about the 250. I used to run a 69 r model with a 237 so I guess I'll see how it does.

Thanks everyone. Thats what i thought just wanted to make sure. My 89 had the Dynatard and someone must have added the clutch switch. I had a jake put on it when i had the motor rebuilt but i never checked how it was wired.
-
i know what you mean about the 5 speed. Whats even worse i was told it was a 300 and stupid me i didn't check tag on motor until today and its only a 250. i know where there was a MH with a 350 and 10 speed so if its still there it will make a good parts truck. The cab and frame were rough on the MH.I plan on a quick paint job and putting it to work. Some would say I'm nuts been working for a company driving a 2013 Pete, real nice truck but its just not the same.

looking for jake clutch switch. pm if you have one
-
Its a dynatard but i would think it would be the same. I had my 89 changed to a jake and they used the same switches but i didn't pay attention to how they were wired. Im thinking to wire it in between the pump and the dash switch?

Just picked up my new toy. 1985 R685st 300 5 speed. Not real crazy about the 5 speed but will have to do for now. Cab needs painted and interior needs a good going over. Nice frame and cab and doors are real solid. I made it one year as a company driver but just had to get my own again.

Looks good to me. -
Anyone have wiring diagram or tell me how to wire in a clutch pedal switch on a 85 r model.

Very nice

Nice work

I thought that also but the bolts are a lot closer together on this.

Here's a picture of the core support mount. I was thinking if nothing else I would take a couple pieces of half inch mud flap and reuse the metal pieces off the original one.

We ordered some from auto parts store. Wasn't sure if they were going to be the right ones or not but we got lucky. I didn't think we would find the rear ones but they were right. No luck on the core support mount though. Thanks for all the help.
