Guess that means I won! It is a nice truck. There's always room for 1 more.

Mack58B42 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hmmm...... That's very tempting. I wish it was closer so I could check it out personally, and then be able to drive it home if it was a winner. Has anyone here actually seen it?

Vladislav Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 So does that thing have early RL/RS hood on it? Not sure though there were ones with later hood (narrower fenders) and a steel dash cab at the same time.

Being a 1972 it should have been a early style hood, I cant zoom in but it looks like its a early hood without the dropped sides. the clue is that the wheel to fender gap is larger than seen on the later style RS/RL700Ls Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51966-72-rs795lst-v8-in-michigan/#findComment-387653 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have too sharp eye on RL/RS trucks no matter I like them really much. The later ones are more to my taste. They're just further from Eastern R's about the look. Having two similar (Eastern) R's I keep in mind an idea to build a Western R some day using the rest of the parts and the 2nd lot of paperwork. But currently i doubt such plans are close to reality. And any serious thinking might be statred no sooner that the 1st R is ready.

Lmackattack Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 There were a few diffrent ways they built the western R models. takes a little bit of looking at the hood , air tank and battery box arrangement to see the differences. I notice them more as people are posting pics of them on the internet. What really throws me thru a loop is all the export stuff as they look like a normal R model from far but sometimes very different when looking up close.

Vladislav Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Do you mean the export things of a kind like that red R (or DM) from Venesuella? On my mind such trucks could be characterized more like custom stuff. You can never systemaize any possible difference ever put into a truck when someone just wanted to specify it the way he only liked. But the adventure itself is interesting Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51966-72-rs795lst-v8-in-michigan/#findComment-387703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
