ranchhopper Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I bid on this 1966 R715 S today the only thing I saw wrong with it was the rust through coming through the paint on the roof around the rain gutter now I wish I was a bit more motivated to bid more I doubt Im going to see another one soon. Im pretty sure she is a rare old bird It ran good in the video they took of it only 1 1/2 hours from my place it sold for $1900 dollars fifty bucks more than my max bid. Had power steering and a five and a four trans combination got to love those old steel dash long hood trucks. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73464-nice-old-1966-r-model-sold-at-auction-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Nice looking old bird. $50 higher than your bid didn't mean you would win putting $50 more. But potential of possible increase may be seen not really large indeed. Have you got your possibilities to keep a truck at your property improoved to start looking for a new big toy? Honestly it was sad to observe that situation forced you to get rid of RS and RWS.

Freightrain Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I remember when Rob bought his ol RL water wagon. It had a V8 also, but was a few years newer.

mowerman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Me too I think he was asking me if he could store it here if that’s the one ,,, I don’t remember the V8 part bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73464-nice-old-1966-r-model-sold-at-auction-today/#findComment-541102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 It’s always nice to have extra space…after I put up the garage it’s a little harder to get anything bigger than a twin drive tractor in the back yard bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73464-nice-old-1966-r-model-sold-at-auction-today/#findComment-541103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 There’s plenty of work around here for a water trucks. I would consider putting that to work retirement gig apply absolutely have to keep driving 1 mile a day and a 66 R model I guess would be OK. At least wave goodbye to long as road trips with icy roads and no more tire chains ha ha.
