Joey Mack Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I really enjoy reading these. I love to see the history.. If I had a large library The Mack Truck would be the 'Featured' book.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73181-old-mack-brochure-images/#findComment-537159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleclutchinweasel Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 I don’t have any B ones. I’ll see what I have on the R. When I was gathering these, I wish I had searched for stuff outside my area of interest. I’ve regretted that many times. 1 Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

mechohaulic Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 bet you don't have the regrets I have when I look at the pictures you posted thinking of the large box thrown away at Mack when new owners took over. A LARGE box having brand new brochures for all the Macks of the day. I kept out ones I liked , made a booklet of most = gave to someone I knew would enjoy it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73181-old-mack-brochure-images/#findComment-537232 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Macks in Australia had very similar brouchers but different letters and numbers We only had, R 600 and R 700 Everything else was sort of added later I wonder what NewZealand, Europe and the middle east used when they sold them new The pictures on Australian brouchers was the same as was the colours Back in the 60's we were still imperial, feet and inches and pounds Things were simpler to work out than metric amd in most cases still are Paul 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73181-old-mack-brochure-images/#findComment-537240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

navypoppop Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I would like to find a R400T with the 413 Chrysler engine for sale. That would be my ultimate truck to restore and pull my 5th wheel rv trailer. I found 1 old fire company R400 with the 413 but it was sold before I got there to see it. I'll keep searching.
