FOR SALE 1985 Mack R686ST-1 operator!

[1985R]

1985 Mack R Model with the 300 engine and 5 spd. Was bought new in 1985 by the operator's company and he purchased it from them in 1986, aside from it getting pulled in the shop for service, no one else drove it. Religious maintenance, has hand written records of everything done. Did oil changes and greased truck at home, all other services at local Mack garage using OEM parts whenever possible. Doors were replaced, air filter assembly replaced, back of cab under glass was repaired professionally and repainted. Truck looks great for the age and drives down the road like it's 1985 all over again! There is no exhaust brake on this truck, was light duty hauler and kept under 68 mph (guy was particular about it). Mechanically needs nothing, budds up front with 35% tires, Dayton's out back with around 75%. Pa inspection runs out next month, simply because I haven't had it out on the road. Interior needs a couple minor plastic pieces replaced/repaired to look killer. Exterior has some clear coat flaking here and there, stars in front fenders and a little push on front bumper. Featured in Bulldog Magazine, and you get that issue when you buy the truck. Too cool of a story to let go overseas and unfortunately I have to give it up. Title is hand, I'm ready to go, just want it to wind up in a good home. Have a video of truck running and walking around it too.

Can call/text me anytime

Beautifully well kept truck. Wish I could buy it. Hope it goes to a home that treats it just as good.

Nice R-Model. Was that one of Kane's Trucks ? Thanks Joe D.

[1985R]

It was Diamond K I believe. Paper product company

[Joe Ditchkus]

Thanks for the reply. Kane had some along with Diamond K. There is or was still a nice R-model like yours running for Diamond K. It is always clean and I never see driver pushing it. I think it says Malanka on the door. Good Luck.Joe D.

[1985R]

Joe, the R model you're referring to is this one.

[Joe Ditchkus]

Thanks I guess the owner retired. Even before you said about the driver being meticulous about upkeep and driving in a most professional way,I always noticed thru the years how he rarely if ever was in passing lane hammer down.It is sad circumstances do not allow you to keep ownership. Joe D.

[Joe Ditchkus]

I forgot to add I saw Russ Springers name in the report you posted from Bulldog Magazine. I know Russ pretty wellI do not think there many out there that knows more about Macks than Russ. He was shop foreman for Simpson Motors now Triplee Cities Mack,Scranton.Pa. for many years and now is a salesman for them. Joe D.

[1985R]

He had his health card pulled due to a head injury and couldn't afford to keep the truck. It's been the coolest truck I've ever owned but now I have to cut my toys loose, which sucks.
