DEVILintheclouds Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 That's a mighty fine looking truck. I just checked the VIN and it's actually a R690T. Not sure where they got a DS chassis model from since I don't think Mack ever used that for any of their models.

41chevy Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) DS is part of a transmission model call out. Fuller? Don't remember now.

Freightrain Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Looks to be just a 5 spd truck. Why would someone go through all this auction hub bub for selling it? With all the fees, it's a loosing proposition. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I'd like to see the full specs of how these Mack's I have here at the mine were spec'd. They are pretty impressive.....E9 V8's, 65,000 Mack rears, etc. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/64815-mack-at-mecum/#findComment-463537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
