Derrico Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Good afternoon forum members, this is my first post. I am in the process of restoring a 1973 Mack R 685ST model. It has no headliner. Can someone tell me if a fiberglass headliner out of a 1967 Mack R607 would fit? Thanks.

880joe Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I'm not sure but didn't the plus 3 inch cab come out in 73? If so wouldn't the headliner be different? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70752-73-mack-r-model-headliner/#findComment-516063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 73 was a split year. We had them both ways.

Derrico Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 I need to measure for the plus three. That should be from front to back? I have to do a takeout on the '67R before I buy it. Thanks for the info! Helps a lot.....Frank Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70752-73-mack-r-model-headliner/#findComment-516067 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 We went through this a while back I had an 87 U model with the straight back I do know what was up with that …. Someone else else said that wasn’t uncommon….

mowerman Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 And as far as I know the +3 starts below the drip rail, so roof skin and headliner should be the same Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70752-73-mack-r-model-headliner/#findComment-516100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Remmers Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Your R model is not likely a +3 if its a steel dash and has the stubby exterior grab handles.

Derrico Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 Good morning, they both have a steel dash. I have the measurements for mine. I will double check the doner. Price is right they are scraping the doner so there should be other parts I can use. This is going to be a fun project! Thanks for all the help! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70752-73-mack-r-model-headliner/#findComment-516170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I am looking for an instrument panel, speedometer and tach, and two of the visor sunshades that go between that instrument panel and the dash for two steel dash Mack’s I am working on Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70752-73-mack-r-model-headliner/#findComment-517891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
