66rmack Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Testing the water, going to see if there is any interest in my 1970 r model. It's a Montana truck it's very nice for its age. Everything works but the swamp cooler on the roof. The interior needs a good cleaning but everything is there. It's got a 237 with a 5 speed and a 3 speed aux. It runs and drives great, and will run 80+ with the 24" rubber back tires are good fronts are rotted but have good tread. The farmer I bought it from said the miles were original the dash says 248k I think it says I've done a bunch of work. New 4" dual exhaust I fixed the frame the back was cut short. Added a receiver hitch. There is a buch of pics in my introduction. I drove it 660 mi home pulling my f250 and tool boxing a bumper pull with no trouble. And got lots of great looks and thumbs up. I would love to see this truck get a great home and hate to see it go but my dad is fading and I'd like to get him something more practical. Idk what it's worth I was thinking maybe $5k but the price is not firm. Would make a good deal if it goes to a good home. I will not export except maybe to Canada. It has to stay on the main land. Located in WI near Minneapolis. Message me for details or pics. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45823-1970-r-685/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

66rmack Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Thank you I think it's pretty nice, it's very solid. I hate to get rid of it. Even the shudders on the front work great. These pics are prior to the deep clean but you can get a idea.

Job41 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Nice looking old R - model! Did the 1970 model year trucks still have a steel dash board? A few pictures of the interior and frame would be nice. Is the three speed auxiliary transmission shifted by air or stick?

66rmack Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yes it's a steel dash. It's a aux box that's behind the Trans. Shifted with a stick. Also excuse the pics these are prior to me picking up the truck and getting it running and cleaned up. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45823-1970-r-685/#findComment-337911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdfordhd Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I like your truck. My first Mack was a '67 R-Model. I can't figger out the jig saw puzzle welded together on the passenger door..!! WTH is up with that..!?! 237 with a 5 speed combo moved millions of tons of cargo in this country.! Quote "If it ain't got a motor, I ain't interested.!!"

Lol I'm not sure what that is. I have a new door panel for it. I was actually surprised by the power it has. I love the truck, but I'm just trying to get something my dad and I can do together. I'd love to fix it and paint it red to match the old mans 66.
