Popular Post Yoos Brothers Construction Posted May 30, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2012 Ha guys,Here are some pictures of the R700. I haven't been working a lot lately cause we are really slow so I finally had some time start restoring it. I brought my truck from work out to the house to take the junk cab off and the engine out over the weekend. I spent almost 3 hours steaming the engine and tranny off at work yesterday. I was just a tad bit wet when I was done . I finally got the right paint for the interior(man does it look better). I hope to be done sanding the exterior of the new cab it a few days.I'm planing on painting it this weekend or sometime next week if all goes well. Hope you guys enjoy .Thanks, Josh :SMOKIE-LFT: 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25376-progress-on-the-rs700/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Looks like you got a good straight truck to work with, and a V8 to boot. It's a lot of work stripping it down like that and repairing or replacing all that needs to be done. It sucks getting all soaked and full of grease washing everything down too, but soon enough you'll be able to look at all you've done and know it's all worth it. Keep up the good work.

Yoos Brothers Construction Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks for all the great coments guys. Believe me it's not easy in the least bit as you all know. Vinny my dash was to sun damaged to reuse but the new cab had an almost perfect one in it(helps to know people). The new cab also has AC in it which is really nice. The rest of the interior was put in the truck by the last owner in 1989 so it was all inreally good shape. It has the fancy biege interior like Mack put in some of the first RD800s when they came out (Mack might have put it in other models too I don't know). It' basically a biege version of a level II Superliner II interior. By the way Andy, it just felt hot and wet to me. I'm getting tired and stupid here so good night! Thanks, Josh.

Pawel Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hello!It's fascinating to look at a worki in progress like this. Could you be so kind as to post a photo of the UNDERSIDE of the cab? It's a view so rarely seen in the photos. Thanks in advance and good luck with your projectPaweł Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25376-progress-on-the-rs700/#findComment-121833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
