Nice looking trucks. Dumb question (to the novice truck identifier)...Why the difference in the front fenders? Both trucks look the same for front axle placement and hood/radiator. But the top truck has short fenders and the bottom long fenders. Reason?

Thanks for the edumencation!

The bottom one is a DM800 which is made for any motor like a superliner or RD800 but with offset cab. The top one is a RM which means it is all wheel drive R-model which all had mainly Mack motors in them. Also the axles are set back in both.

I think maybe for better turning? :idunno: if they put the long fenders on then they would use regular bumper instead of one on it also they are that same fender as steel nose r-models use so...

Talk about a class act! It's almost too close to call but I have to say the F model is still my favorite Mack of all time.
