ThaddeusW Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 That was a New Zealand only model designation. In Australia I believe it was marketed as the Metro-Liner.

mack09 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 RB Mack.Hi, They were NZ only. R series with set back front axle, the bonnet was made here, done by local Mack dealer and importer Motor Truck Distributors.Similar set up to the Aussie set back axle Value Liner, no v8 version here though.

nealtrucker Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 This picture brings back a few memories for me as the fleet this truck belonged to would visit the farm I grew up on everyday to collect the milk. It belonged to Bay Milk Products based in Edgecumbe, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. The Rb was indeed a New Zealand only model produced in 1989 as an update of the R-series before the CH came out. They were built in Palmerston North by Motor Truck Distributors using a local bonnet that featured an Ultra-liner grille. Incidently Motor Truck Distributors also built the very last Ultra-liner in the world in 1999 which conicided with the production line closure in New Zealand. I think they generally had a 350 hp engine and 12 speed mack gearbox, and the one in the picture is pulling a standard for the time "a-train" trailer set.
