In all seriousness I do like that color scheme. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

gxbxc Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 How the heck would you ever get into or out of that little sleeper ,I am pretty broad across the shoulders and would have to lay on my side .Of course now that I am old and grey and have a considerable circumference around the middle and those Macks were kinda cramped, Motel 6 leave the light on.

Even today 36" are a very Common sight on our Highways.... 1 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54571-1985-mack-r686-tractor/#findComment-408064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Took this picture of the rig under previous ownership at Rutland, VT. The picture is pretty rough and gets worse as I tried to enlarge it to get the info off the door. I think it is painted with "Mike" on the top line and "Galway" on the second line as Maddog indicated. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
