Popular Post Legendwhse Posted September 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Hi everyone, Bryan Mirsky here from New Jersey. Bought this 1975 RS700l from Jeal Brothers in Canada. Has a decent amount of wheelbase for a daycab. Surprisingly it doesn't have rust coming from Canada. It's going to be a toy to replace the 1972 RS700L I had when I was a 19 year old kid.

70mackMB Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Oh come on! That rubber block suspension should just glide along nicely on those smooth Jersey roads. Friend of mine put rubber block on an F model to haul potatoes out of Aroostook county Maine. Said the aggie inspectors wouldn't stop you for being over loaded if they didn't see the suspension sagging. lol .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73308-new-member-with-an-rs700l/#findComment-538886 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Legend Whse Posted March 16 Popular Post Share Posted March 16 I got a E9 from my friend. Was a 500hp crate motor. Started putting it in on my spare time in April. Finally got it running and driveable. Looks at home under the hood and sounds even better. Still have to hook up the air to air cooler. Had to raise the engine 3" from the stock cylinder location. 7 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73308-new-member-with-an-rs700l/#findComment-571488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Cummings Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) 1 hour ago, Legend Whse said: I wish. They won't let you in the port blowing black smoke. Kind of funny. I used to go up there when I operated out of Philly bringing loaded ones back to the yard and taking empties back. The standards then were if it can hook up to a chassis and move, it was good enough. Fenders torn off, bald tires, door tied shut with a rope, license plates you found in a salvage yard, massive oil leaks, no drivers license, no problem. I remember a few I didn't want to get near because they were wet staking and blowing a spray of soot, diesel, and motor oil. My 14 year old 1968 R685ST was like a Cadillac in comparison. Needless to say, I loved the place lol Edited March 16 by Joseph Cummings 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73308-new-member-with-an-rs700l/#findComment-571504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrybarbon Posted Saturday at 12:59 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:59 PM Wow, excellent, someone could think it is an 866! Food for thought - a period sleeper to fill in the long frame.
