Superdog Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 That's a pretty early one with the high hood. You better scoop it up. Looks like it has the early version of the 6 speed,also.

Popular Post vision386 Posted July 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2013 Looks like a damn nice R-Model! I agree with Superdog,on an early high-hood,but it looks like to me it prolly was an early split-grille? that was changed over to the newer style western grille? like this one? ..................Mark 3 Quote Mack Truck literate.

slpwlker Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 alot of those guys spend every minute they get free cleaning and wiping things down. I do not have that kind of patience ergo thats why my truck looks like hell. also needs a serious bath. Just got to much going on to think about cleaning right now. After the first load or 2 it is getting a major cleaning 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/34/#findComment-196755 Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I remember a guy that used to come into our plant with an R model and he wiped it down all the time with WD 40.Looked nice but it attracts dirt.

BrianDzimitrowiczJr Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't care for the quad headlights but the visor is kinda cool. makes the truck look pissed off 1 Quote Brian1959 B61T Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/34/#findComment-196968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I actually like the non-visor look on Macks with that cab and prefer the stock bezels. That aside, it's a good looking, well cared for truck and would still be proud to be seen in it.

Green Dash Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, I guess I took a picture of this truck a couple weeks ago without the visor. Just forgot I took it. Not a bad lookingtruck but I could do without the 4 headlights and the spot mirror on the hood.I like having the spot mirror on sloped hood trucks so I can see exactly where the front corner is. One (of the many) thing nice about the R model was being able to see the right turn signal from the driver's seat and knowing exactly where you were. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/34/#findComment-197318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
