ducky698 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Grant, I tried looking them up but they don't come up in the system yet.Hi, there from 1970s one was an F model and the other an R model. the F is the one I pulled the engine, axles an radiator from.the R is the water truck in my pics.Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 The ENDT866 was first available in the '73 model year if I remember right,those are both fairly early numbers,so I'd guess '73 or early '74. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 would they have been sitting on the assembly line one behind the other?If they had been built at the Hayward,CA plant I would say yes.But the eastern made Macks all started over with 1001 with each seperate model,so while it is possible they were built together,I wouldn't guarantee it.

I would love to confirm that they were on that line together.Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
