Offset-U-bet! Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Saw this early 70's R600 in my town. Drive by it every day for 4 years and just today caught my attention! So I swung in to snap a couple of pix. Would like to investigate more. Its a twin screw and had a dump on it. Thats all I know.

Maddog13407 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 79 or so with the lip fenders and a 300+ by the scoop Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31860-diamond-in-the-ruff/#findComment-193148 Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think its a 73'. It has a tan dash. They stopped putting the R-600 emblem on around late 77'. It also looks like it has the old style front hubs, that have the more round style. The argument starts....

Offset-U-bet! Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Could possibly be a mutt! This is NH things rot etc.... I will try to get a #.

Maddog13407 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 im leaning twards Mutt. has the older 60's style front bumper but the 78-79 hood with the lip and the older style R600 emblem but the 73 and newer tan dash with plus 3 cab, I think around 1980 they went to the twin inlet air cleaner and ditched the hood scoop.
