A unusual R model Mack

Loving the junk yard finds!!!

 

@NorthernMechanic will love that truck.

 

I can do points. Ive done em.

I would however hate to drive gasoline engines of that vintage, the rev tach must be dam near 4 grand...

Two other things are a blast from the past for me. The oil spinner on the block there and the very simple electrical panel at firewall.

 

Would be be easy to put let's say a 300 mack diesel in that truck?

 

Maybe its older than that
I remember the 69 r I drove as having light green interior, 70s having brown interiors 80s having black.

Edit: ex fire truck would explain the red, Never mind, should have read it instead of just looking at the pictures

 

This is Mack Gasoline engine. ) Rare bird now

 

Nice find, man. You buying, @OLDSKOOLERnWV ? What an awesome summer project, for sure!!!

 

Would a gasoline mack have a 5 speed transmission?

I had a 5 speed R model Mack with the henrickson walking beams and this gas engine mack find has caused me to question the parents origin as it were of the one mack I remember.
