FayettesFinest Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 That's an awesome truck! You barely ever see the 325s, let alone air start as well!

I would like to do something with my 73 RS795, love the sound of the Mack V8. does anyone know if the 865-866 sounds like the E9 or do they sound different.

Superdog Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Ron,I hope it's as nice as the pics show and as it was represented by the owner. I just wish it wasn't so damn short. Anybody ever stretch an aluminum frame??? As far as the sound,I always thought they had a sound of their own.

Superdog Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I just hope it's as good as the pictures show. The kid that looked it over is pretty trustworthy,too,so I've got good feelings about it. Sold off a few so had to fill those spots so the grass don't start growing. This one will get worked some I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33850-1975-rl795lst/#findComment-221151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish it wasn't so damn short. Anybody ever stretch an aluminum frame??? As far as the sound,I always thought they had a sound of their own.Mike that's just the right length . If it being that short really bugs you that much I'll definitely come to Iowa to get it .

PaulLowboy Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 that is a thing of beauty. I learned to drive in a 72 r 700 with a 325.

Superdog Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I hope to see it too. Mikey took off with it when we got it unloaded,and hid it at his place. I can't get anything new anymore without him laying claim to it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33850-1975-rl795lst/#findComment-222340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
