b615rich Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 That looks like it could be a good project. When they say "aluminum frame" is that full aluminum rails and cross members? Do they ever have issues? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39387-1974-rl700l-375hp-v8-for-sale/#findComment-283894 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullfuel01 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Unfortunatly i have to stay away from this deal. Truck looks really nice and it's more then a fair deal I think. The reason is that the main parts i'm looking for thst almost every western mack had is different on this one.Good luck to anyone else, thanks for the pictures Doctorbuys. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39387-1974-rl700l-375hp-v8-for-sale/#findComment-283987 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That's about scrap price and looks like it is maybe missing stuff from the one picture and would probably just be a donor. I doubt it would be restored unless Re- powered with something else. Than doesn't that detract from the value? Being in Idaho also creates a dilemma on transportation since so far for most folks.Bigdogtrucker why don't you get it and use it for your parts truck. You can hire me to go get it once my trailer is out of the shop I only charge $1 per mile from my house I figure using Google maps kc to Idaho to ga back to kc should be around $4000 Quote Robert"I reject your reality and substitute my own."

Bigdogtrucker Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That's one clean looking R700, insane to me to call it a parts truck. I've seen guys go nuts on here over other 700's all rotted and beat to death how they should be saved. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39387-1974-rl700l-375hp-v8-for-sale/#findComment-284015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post yarnall Posted March 25, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2015 Tough to say from one picture, but $2500 for a complete RL with a V8 with problems still sounds like a decent price. Of course the buyer would have to be someone closer than 4000 miles away.

SparrTruck Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 We'd buy that in a heartbeat if it was here in Florida, good luck with the sale!

ranchhopper Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Shipping is the deal killer I would be right on that if it didn't cost almost double the purchase price to get it here but I would go in with some one to buy it I need the cab and could use a spare hood.

Yoos Brothers Construction Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Price sounds right to me. Maybe it just needs an oil cooler. Might be worse but for the price that isn't bad. I paid 3000 for my RS700 with a good V8 in it but it needed a cab and the frame needed taken all apart on account of rust. I wish it were closer because I'd buy it in a minute.
