Lmackattack Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I was on I-294 yesterday and I saw a gold/oarnge/champane color Mack R700 or RS700L. it did not have the tall hood so it may be a pre 1972 RS model??I think it was pulling a flat bed with a tarped load? i was to busy staring at the tractor. nice big sleeper on the back. lots of tastfull chrome from its era, polished wheels and tanks. On the side of the sleeper it was painted "Caddilac Mack"anyone ever see this Rig??

It's always going the other way, so i've never seen the name on the sleeper, but based on the color ( sort of a metallic rust ) I'd say it's the same one. There is a picture of it either here (old site) or maybe Hank's truck pictures that lists the year as a '68.

David Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I guess a "guard" is the fender. The RS has a raised cab. The hood is raised to meet the cab. The later RS have the fenders lowered about 4 inchs relative to the top of the hood.

Lmackattack Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 I have heard from the oldtimers that the R700s and RS700s were macks "top dogs" of the R model family back in the day. Then the superliners took over. I dont know about you but the Superdogs and RS macks were always my top pic with the "new" macks. I still think they have nice body lines that many new trucks dont have because of aero concerns Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/217-caddilac-mack/#findComment-3064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would pull in a lot of customers,Tim Superliner and the Titan Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/217-caddilac-mack/#findComment-3106 Share on other sites More sharing options...
