Rob Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Nothing really for sale but let me know if you need any parts. Always looking for something so let me know if you have anything to trade. I'm going to start separating this into component parts later this and next week and send the balance across the scales. Hate to do it but I've been picking parts off of it for almost 18 years and the pickens are getting slim. The 4.17 rears are good shape and I'm going to roll the tandems out for reuse someplace. The frame is no good, the 14' dump cylinder was repacked about a year before the truck was put out of service in 1999 and has been idle since. King pins are tight and front spokes, (24.5") are not bent. There are no front brakes. The passenger side square tank still have fuel in it from all those years ago so assuming it doesn't leak. I installed the 237 engine and five speed trans into another R model back in 2001 so the poor frame has been setting that long. I've cut three large sections from the cab for donor sheet metal into other R models over the years and the cab is no good.

Lmackattack Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 might want to save the mirror brackets if they are any good. if they sell for anything like the B models do you will make a good penny for them someday Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52903-going-to-be-getting-rid-of-this-72-r-model/#findComment-394948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 They have had water intrusion and busted on both sides. I looked at them today.

Hobert62 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Does it have power stearing? Would the box be a candidate to swap into a B?

Rob Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 It has the old Gemmer, (Prior to Ross acquistion) steering gear which is manual. Still seems to be good however. I drove the truck to the shop almost 120 miles without problems upon purchase many years ago.

Old Blue Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 What size fuel tank and what do you want for it? Any pictures? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52903-going-to-be-getting-rid-of-this-72-r-model/#findComment-397536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea to size but will look tomorrow. Both hold fuel but one is missing the skid plate type insert for your foot. Which side are you needing?

57Mack Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Does it still have the tan bulldog embossed drivers seat? If so I’m interested.
