james j neiweem Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 In another current post it mentions the South Carolina assembly line as being the source of the first R model. I had never heard of this before.How many other plants besides Allentown, Hayward, Macungie, Plainfield and Canada were there? I know there was the South Carolina plant of the 90'sand the Volvo Virginia plant. Also there were about seven plants in Allentown. I don't think I ever heard of the history of each plant. I think #7 was the huge one. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43665-south-carolina-assembly-line/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I could be wrong but the South Carolina plant was built specifically for CH production. As far as I know, R and RD were always built in Allentown / Macungie.Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43665-south-carolina-assembly-line/#findComment-321186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I DO BELIEVE R's were built in Winnsboro-with horrible results initially. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43665-south-carolina-assembly-line/#findComment-321398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbigrig Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Winnsboro wasnt opened until the late 80's. It's production was basically anything R, DM, DMM or CH/CL cab related. It was one the reasons why production in Canada ended. It produced som of the first CH's. There were 20 CH's built in Canada as a test run. Winnsboro wasn't Macks greatest Quality builds.
