when did mack switch from tan/brown interior to gray ?


Recommended Posts

My cab is galvanized with zink.

Not shure about doors although they haven't any rust in a down area.

Double walling is a surprizing thing to me, I red about it in production sheets but haven't seen a cab with inside linings removed.

My R688RST build date 17 dec 1985 has brown/tan interior and tan wheel this was one of the last to come of line with brown / tan as we looked up the serial numbers and the next truck on line that day had silver grey ?

R688rst valulner build date 8 oct 1987 has silver grey and new style wheel

luckly its still in good condition but id love to have a roll off brown/tan with the bulldog emblems to do my new sleeper

What model mark Australian Valueliner has, R688rst also ?

Does it have his own special hood?

Here are a few pics of the inside of my RS700 interior. This is the tan interior update kit as one might call it. It kind of made it more modern. This was installed in my truck in 1989 and I just put it in my new cab after I repainted it. More to follow!

The first to use the gray dash and shell in a conventional cab ...that i remember seeing in person was late 1984,, and was the promotional 1985 superliner II which was the Magnum, And all the Macks with a built date in 1986

(not titled) that went threw the dealer I was at was gray

The Mh had gray from the start and wasn't a bad color combo with the level 3 blue and level 4 red
