Popular Post 66dc75 Posted January 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've wanted an R model for a long time. Finally found the right one. '67 with a 673 turbo 250 horse and a duplex. Nice solid roadworthy truck. This is the last piece to round out the collection. Photos are a little dark. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52211-last-piece-of-the-puzzle/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobert62 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I've seen a picture of that one somewhere, but I don't remember when or where.

yarnall Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Nice truck. I can't believe it took so long to sell. The price was right. I have seen a lot less for way more. I like the Malatesta trucks too. Mike. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52211-last-piece-of-the-puzzle/#findComment-389714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 I was surprised that it was for sale for so long too. I think it was advertised only on the ATHS online ads so it might have gotten missed by a lot of people. This was the best truck by far for the price that i saw. It bobtailed 250 miles home and it didn't miss a beat. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52211-last-piece-of-the-puzzle/#findComment-389715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Tom said it was a good truck with nothing wrong with it and I believe him. I would have liked it but spent all my money last year on the house and junk Internationals. Have fun with it. Mike.

j hancock Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Half dogs started mid 60's until 1978ish. I have looked at various factory photos and some trucks don't have them. I haven't seen a truck order form. Possibly an option? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
