AZB755V8 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 What R is it?Looks like a smaller engine one because of the shutter size. Every different R variation started with 1001. It is a piece of history but what one is it? My brother had the 1967, R719-1003 not the first but was close. It will never look like that R though, Very nice!!Great job and a lot of work.

Maddog13407 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I think the first one was a prototype and built in 1961? it has the fiberglass hood formed around to cover the duct pipes for the air cleaner.All the early R models had shutters I think and the fake shutters on the outside Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43589-1-r-model/#findComment-320607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't remember where we had this discussion,but the topic of the very 1st R model came up about a year ago,below is the reponse I got from Dale at the museum.Mike, After searching through all of the sub models of the R Series trucks built in 1965, we’ve come up with the Chassis Number of R609LST 1001 as the first R Model off of the 5C Assembly line dated April 6, 1965.There were Models R401, R403, R410, R607, R609, R611, R615, R640, R715, and R737 built in 1965 but the R609LST 1001 was the first one. The number(s) after the letter “R” was the type of engine in the truck. It had no bearing on the date of manufacture. Dale R.

41chevy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The MACK emblem on the nose and the B style parking lights next to the headlights lasted for how long?

Mackdaddy2030 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 what a great looking truck!!!! That is so awesome that it is still around and still owned by the original owner. So the U actually came out before the R? Are there any books that go through they whole history of all the R, U and DM models? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43589-1-r-model/#findComment-321467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 The MACK emblem on the nose and the B style parking lights next to the headlights lasted for how long? Paul I don't think very long. You hardly ever see them. I have wondered if it was just used on pre-production pictures and maybe the first 50 units or something like that?I like the look! 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

57 bcr Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 If you ever held one of those cast script front emblems in your hand,it makes you wonder why they would try to bolt that to fiberglass? Those emblems have some weight to them. I do like the look of them,though. Those same emblems were used on the front of the M series off - road trucks.
