2stick6speed Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Great site! I am trying to figure out how to upload pictures of my 72 RD685S Just got the truck last week. Spent its life in NC as a wrecker. I bought as a cab and chassis. Plan on restoring and putting a fifth wheel on. I have pics on my computer but cannot figure out how to upload to site, any suggestions?

Mike Blais Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am fairly new to the site but I will say welcome from a fellow New Englander. I had to look on a map to find Huntington.You have plenty of Mack friends in the area. The guys who run the Western Mass ATCA chapter know as much about Macks as anyone else. Oh, very nice truck (tractor), too! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23715-hello-from-huntington-ma/#findComment-108454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That is a good looking, straight old truck - I like seeing them in their well cared for original working clothes!

Green Dash Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That's nice and clean, even the interior. I don't think very many R models came with the upholstery on the doors.

2stick6speed Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thanks everyone for the kind comments. Not sure where in NC the truck spent most of its life. I bought it from a company in Taunton, MA. They bought it for the Holmes wrecker body. They put it on one of their newer heavy RDs. I learned to drive on a 77 RD tractor and spent a lot of time working on Mack Rs eversince. I used to own a MH twin screw cabover, former penske rental truck. Hauled scrap steel to Albany NY from western MA area. Sure wish I still had it today!

Timothy Maikshilo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Very nice truck, I remember those old air seats. If you tried to adj. the air pressure while driving you usually got your hand or a finger pinched.

David Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Welcome. Looks like a nice rust free southern truck. Mark, my bet is it came the Wake Forest- Rollsville area. There is a towing company there on 401 that replaced a red hard dash R with a CH a couple of years ago.
