Rob Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 A photo i found on large car but i have not seen one before.I'll bet a one off handmade sleeper. Sure looks good.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

terry Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Looks like an R700 series, but don't know about the sleeper. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7882-mack-photo/#findComment-28813 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 At first I look I thought it was a early 70s RS700L but after Looking at the hood it does look like a R700. the fenders drop down past where the batt boxes should be. The RS700 fenders stop and a splash guard is used. it looks like they did alot of little mods to the truck.It has a diffrent bumper, batt boxes removed cab/sleeper work. that fuel tank is a little small for a road truck and not sure if its a mack tank, even has the tall air cleaner tube.Nice old R tho!Trent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7882-mack-photo/#findComment-28818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 may be the back of a F model cab.That was my first thought. At least the owner kept it in the family. I have seen CH cabs with integral bunks for export and Aussie markets. We also know the B's had a sleepercab option years ago. Maybe this is a rare factory original? The metalwork looks very professional. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7882-mack-photo/#findComment-29015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The metalwork looks very professional.Did early F models have that style of bunk side window? With the profile of the R cab extending into the sleeper sure makes it look factory...........or a great custom build.

Doug Maney Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I believe this was an "aftermarket" conversion, maybe an Orville conversion, I just saw a photo of another integral cab R in a magazine. I'll try to track it down and post it along with this post. Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As Doug said it has the look of an orville sleeper the side window looks like their trademark. I worked out of Dundalk Marine Terminal (Baltimore, Maryland) with a Sonny Womack had similar factory looking integral sleeper on a R-600 Mack 673 with a Duplex. Joe D.

75T Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 It is possible that it's a Bunk that was built in Charlotte N.C. . If you look at B-73-----75 photos at Hank's site, you'll see the similarlity.

Everyone likes a good Mackmystryyou could be right and they were called Charlotte sleepers and were integral in appearance. Several in some Holtzman and Adams books too.
