VPZINC Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hi everyone,Name is Victor and I'm 24. Grew up with Mack trucks my whole life with the excavating business that my father owns. Currently we own a 1987 R model tandem axle dump truck that him and I argue over on who gets to keep it when he retires, a 2006 Granite tri-axle, and my baby: a 2007 CL-733 with a 600+hp Cummins in it. I have dreams of restoring the 87 to what I remember because of the memories I have with it. I think my mom still has baby pictures of me and the truck when we were both brand new. Here are the trucks that have helped get us to where we are:06 and the 07:My baby hooked up to our lowboy with a Komatsu D65E on the trailer:One with a PC300(1 of the 3 that we own) on the trailer grossing 110,000 lbs:And the 1987 R model: 2 Quote 87 RD 686SX07 CL-73306 Granite CV-713"Old Macks never die, just get new generations of drivers" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27753-new-guy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

VPZINC Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks guys. Hopefully this place can help me get the 87 to a restored, great looking truck that isn't a show queen and can go to work hauling and making us money every day.

VPZINC Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thanks guys, nice to be warmly welcomed. Some better info on the 87 is that it's an R686SX. I know it was speced out with the super heavy duty rears which the local Mack dealer made a big deal about on the phone today when we called for parts. Is it really as rare as they made it sound? I honestly don't know much about them so that's why I'm asking you guys.
