PeterMack Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 PeterMack I remember seeing those Deans Foods R model Macks running around. I used to see some R models with big aerodyne bunks on them, they were nice looking trucks.I had an old ad from Northern IL Mack back from 89 and they had a couple of those trucks for sale in it. I cropped the ad.It's not the best old picture but it will work. My Dad used to be leased to DFC back in the day. They were based out of Huntley IL.He used to run over to IN, OH, and Mich quite a bit.

Popular Post jakebrake86 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2014 Well, I got a few projects knocked out on the old dirty value liner today. Robbed the white wheel out of my F model and got it swapped in. Got two new mufflers installed. Washed her up and cleaned the interior up. Got to make a trip to Memphis for a new floor mat, dimmer switch, etc... Sorry if the pics are sideways. 5 Quote Jake Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38042-new-project-1986-rs-688-lst/page/2/#findComment-270148 Share on other sites More sharing options...

storkmack Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 PeterMack I remember seeing those Deans Foods R model Macks running around. I used to see some R models with big aerodyne bunks on them, they were nice looking trucks.I have the remains of one of those 82' Wehane R models. It is one the most used up R models I've ever seen. It has a 60 high rise double eagle sleeper on it. 300hp 2 valve with a 5 sp on taperleaf with 3.65 rears.

57 bcr Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I remember some of those old Werhane trucks sitting at N.I. Mack. Bill Steffenhagen told me they had about a million miles on 'em (without an O.H.),and most guys were too leery to buy them at the time. They did sell them, but it took awhile! Ron(b61),yes they did have at least one Super-Liner. This one is for sale on the TruckPaper site. If it's not a Werhane truck,it's damn close! They mostly had weedburner exhausts on their trucks.This Superdog,had a cobbled together stack on it,which makes me think it was for sure one of theirs.

storkmack Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'd be proud to own it.I'm as proud of it, as I'm of all our Macks. Some of the people I work with on the other hand, think I need to get my head checked after I drug it home. I for one, can see its good traits. Newer frame rails, perfect hood, solid trunnion, stainless breather. Damn, I'm falling in love with it all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38042-new-project-1986-rs-688-lst/page/2/#findComment-270784 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I'm falling in love with it all over again.That's better.I can remember as a kid running to Joliet on Sundays not only meeting them on the road,but going by one of their terminals along 80,can't for the life of me remember where exactly. I do know that was where I saw my first 60 mid rise CH, it had all spoke wheels.
