Green Dash Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Holy Cow! I missed this the first time and that cost me all of my "likes" this time around. The "Flintstone style" hood looks soooo much better than the steel hood used on the RD 800. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36705-aussie-r-800/#findComment-285501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warth's book Mack Trucks Photo Gallery. Crosschecked with the appendix in John Montville's Mack book which lists models built and there are 4 R863's built in 1968. I wonder if this is one of them? I'm now curious because this is 4 years before it was released in Australia but the one in the picture is right hand drive. I don't Know where the picture was taken but I can see an offset cab in the stack of cabs in the background so perhaps it is in the USA. Did Mack build them in the US as a one off export order?scan0029.jpg scan0030.jpg 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36705-aussie-r-800/#findComment-286554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
