Maddog13407 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 yup, Mutt, Mack cab and hood and don't think they made a R700 in 1979.. would have been a Superdog by then Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32105-cl-for-sale-1979-r700/#findComment-196523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Looks like an old Haliburton R-700.They must have bought a sh-tload of these things because they keep poppin' up everywhere!

57 bcr Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 1981 They still made R-700's! The Super-Liner only replaced the RS/RL 700 when it was introduced. 1 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Maddog13407 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 no shit ,never knew. thought when the Superdog came out it became the new R700 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32105-cl-for-sale-1979-r700/#findComment-196540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 no shit ,never knew. thought when the Superdog came out it became the new R700Notice the way these 700's sat up high,just like the RS/RL 700's.I think they built this style until '83.If I remember right, Ryder and Roadway also ran Cummins powered R-700's like this.I heard through the grapevine,Storkmack has added one to his collection.Any truth to this,Brad?

Terry T Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 There was a former Haliburton R700, same set up as this with a water tank on it near Garrett, IN for a long time, I stopped & inquired about it, "Not For Sale" I was told. 3 months later I seen it being loaded up and hauled away. A year later that construction company was closed and all assets sold off.

Superdog Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 if I ain't mistaken,that's one that was on a purplewave or some such auction awhile back,same company had a pair of the ex-haliburton 700's and a green R797 with a crane on it. I do believe a member here got the R797. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32105-cl-for-sale-1979-r700/#findComment-196571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
storkmack Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Yes, it is true. We added a 1981 R770 to our fleet. It currently has an E-7 mech., 13 sp Fuller, on Mack rears with Hendrickson air ride. Right around 3 million miles from a single owner/driver. The truck is an absolute pleasure to run.

thomastractorsvc Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 if I ain't mistaken,that's one that was on a purplewave or some such auction awhile back,same company had a pair of the ex-haliburton 700's and a green R797 with a crane on it. I do believe a member here got the R797.After you mentioned it I remember seeing them on there to, I went on purple wave to see what they went for, I don't think it is one of the trucks, the three listed on PW had white from the top of the doors up and they are listed as 78s with square thanks. I did see one of them for sale on CL before I bought my R, about three months or so ago up in your neck of the woods for about 2k over what it went for.
