rmodel mack 1966

So you going to put the flintstone radiator and guards back on.?

Old Dog,

Did you not have any glass front R600s (imports?) in Oz before and at the same time they started production of the Flintstones?

Cheers,

T

yes they did but not many people wanted the new truck they wanted the steel truck.when you own one you do all the history and reserch.

at the truck show this weekend

Tatra The B model finished in OZ about 1966
The R 600 started in US around 65.
The Flintstone went from 66 to around 70
The fibreglass bonnet started around 1970
So 66 to 69 would have been Flintstone front end's
The fiberglass bonnet did not appear untill 1970.......Mark

In Venezuela , a beautiful R.

Hi Steve

How do you get away with driving it with no rear guards you have them if you drive it bob tail or even pull a trailer. Dave

The fibreglass bonnet was being developed in the US as early as 64/65, and being used at least on Mack Trucks own test vehicles. In Australia the very 1st R models delivered were steel fronted, but f/glass bonnetted R's were delivered here as early as 1966. Up to 1970 many R's had f/glass bonnets. However it appears that steel was the preference. This is what my research has indicated to me.... Jeff.

Very well may be true then. I'll go and sit in the corner...

its not mine it was at the truck show at allora
