Popular Post seyser Posted August 20, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thought I’d share a couple pics of my R model that was delivered this weekend. I purchased the truck from the wife of the original owner who passed away last year. He had ordered it new in 1979 and was the only one to drive it. The truck has 118k miles and was used to pull a lowboy. It’s completly original except the blue paint which was done at the Mack dealer when truck was new. 16 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54072-my-1979-r686st/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 What an excellent purcgase! Freshening up the paint on hubs, battery boxes and the bumper would bring it to about a show look. Congrats!

seyser Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Thanks for all the comments. I’m excited to have it. Work has been super busy so I haven’t done anything except take it up and down the road a few times. The old cool power sure has a nice whistle to it. All fluids look great but I will probably change everything to start fresh and go from there.

41chevy Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Very nice! I am impressed with the care the truck had/ has. I don't think I've ever seen a 39 year old interior as nice as yours. 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54072-my-1979-r686st/#findComment-404806 Share on other sites More sharing options...
