Basil700 Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hello,Below is a pic of my new toy. 1974 R767RS .Would anybody know what trans these had. It has a pair of cast Mack brackets aft of the main trans which to me look like aux trans mounts. Floor has a second stick hole thats been covered up. It currently has a Fuller RTO 12513 behind the Cummins.Any comments appreciated.Barry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8181-aussie-r700/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably had a Mack 5spd main with a 4spd Spicer. Regards Jeffro.

Basil700 Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 Howdy Jeffro,You are the second person that has said about the Mack 5 speed main and the spicer aux in this truck. After another look last night it has definatly had an aux box at some stage as the center bearing crossmember thats in there now has been made up.It used to run Darwin - Alice pulling fuel tankers from about 76 to 84 then spent the rest of its life in the Kimberleys pulling a float.It was in one of the early truck and bus or early truckin life when it won best at show at the Brisbane truck show in 1976.Thanks for the reply.Barry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/8181-aussie-r700/#findComment-30189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it had an NTC 350, 5spd Maxitorque main and it says a Spicer 12-416 Aux. I think it should be 1241 C. It has the 2 Mack step tanks as well. It says the sleeper is 36", it is a Mack box, I think built by Denning. jeffro .
