Popular Post bulldogmack58 Posted November 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2014 I didn't want to take over the "R686ST with hood scoop" topic with this one so here we go!2 x 1975 R797RS MACK TRUCKS, the story goes they were built in the USA then exported to NZ for heavy haul work. It appears to be all correct going by the info I've found. My question is, has anyone ever heard of similar one off builds?Cheers, Mick 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37824-heres-one-for-ya/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
