mackmanb61x Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 They are just neat trucks! Heavy spec tractors are my favorite! Plus they are the last of the real macks. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39039-nyc-spec-macks/#findComment-280468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackmanb61x Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Are they double or triple frame? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39039-nyc-spec-macks/#findComment-280506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Most all are triple frames. Between the roads, loads and dump sites, triple rails are mandatory for it's survival.

Maddog13407 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 odd looking fenders on that one. were the R800's still available when they went to the ugly slope nose on the R600 models and made them all RD's after??

MackTech Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 RD800s were still available when I started at Mack in 98, I remember building them. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39039-nyc-spec-macks/#findComment-283517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Some of the RD800's that NYC had were 3406B powered with Allison. I remember seeing a few for sale years ago.
