granitefan713 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I took pics of these two old Macks today; however, I have no clue what models they are. I'm only up-to-speed on current models. I was wondering if you guys could help me out?

Timothy Maikshilo Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The one on the left is a DM 800 and the one on the right is a RD 600. Drove both models years ago and would love to find an old 800 to restore someday.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I agree with HK, tough old trucks that with care will last a lifetime. They do look in good shape but would look great in Mack red with my name on the door,Tim Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/1930-old-mack-models/#findComment-9382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog man Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Why were those trucks at a Peterbilt dealer?Did someone have a complete mental breakdown and trade them in on Peterbilts? HK MY THOUGHTS EXACTLLY I have 2 friends of mine who was working for family (they are bro-inlaws to each other) they both broke off thier own 1 wanted to updated his equipment from a 89 DM the other had 2' 97 RD Triaxle 'S he told the other he would sell him 1 @ a reasonable price needless to say the bro-inlaw who wanted to update went from a Mack to a PETE CAUSE HE SAID YA COULD CHROME A MACK OUT LIKE A PETE & MAKE THE LOOK SHINY LIKE A PETE . PERSONALLY I THINK THE 1 BRO-IN-LAW IS FOR GETTING A PETE JUST CAUSE YA HAVE MORE CHROME OPTIONS I DIDNT THINK A DUMP BUCKET WAS SUPOSSED TO BE CHROMED OUT LIKE A ROAD TRACTOR SHEESH THE Pete he has now isnt half the truck the HE HAD OR THE HIS BRO-INLAW has now Happy new year yall Bulldog Quote You Cant Fix Stupid.
