sodly Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Saw this on CL and thought it was worth sharing. This 69 R model appears to be very original and in just in need of a "freshening" to be a cool, flat-back Mack collector truck. Great interior! For an east coast truck is sure appears to be rust-free. Where are the cracks on the steering wheel?!? https://boston.craigslist.org/ sob/cto/6009343807.html 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48816-cool-old-r-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 That truck is a couple of towns over from me. I looked at it a few months ago. Walorz trucking used to be an authorized Mack service center. The B model which is advertised with this truck was restored by them i believe for a customer who didn't pick it up and it became their's so it was relettered. It seems that the family hired a 3rd party to sell the trucks. The asking prices are pretty high and they have been for sale for well over a year now. That R model has been outside the whole time but it is as solid as it looks in the photos. Being a Mack parts and service dealer they probably had a new steering wheel hanging around, just me guessing and I have been known to be wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48816-cool-old-r-model/#findComment-362194 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I refinished my steering wheel with some kind of compound that I pushed into the cracks, sanded smooth and then had it painted. was less than $100 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48816-cool-old-r-model/#findComment-362287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
