bulldogmack58 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Mack R600 with steel hood/fenders aka "Flintstone"Over you're side of the pond they're RD600 steel nose! What you guy's call an RD600 I don't think there is an equivalent here. But I do think we did get close to it with some of the local built units.

RFCDrum Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 This is basically the same truck to your Flinstones these were more geared for vocational/construction work here in the States. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogmack58 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 R600RD600:Looks like a LJSWX with B80 fendersthat's what I called it 'til a closer look shows the "B" model hood emblems etc and I'm no expert but it does look like a "B" hood to me! stuffed if I know! I'm guessing that it"s a B8? or B8?? with gaurds as used on the R800's that started this post and also used on other non U.S. built Macks i.e. some of those shown on the Iran Mack post. I've noticed that Mack has built many different models outside the U.S. but as I've said that's half the fun for me identifying them. cheers Mickp.s. do you know the definition of an expert? X(ex) is the unknown factor and a spurt(xpurt) is a drip under pressure :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobHi Rob, yeah mate, I know what an "RD" is and I'd love to bring one over here to OZ. They have a heavier chassis etc don't they or am I wrong? Things were somewhat different here i.e. an R600 could be specced fairly heavy but it was still an R600 as far as I know. If I'm wrong someone please correct me, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
