T,

Quite a few RD800 with E9 V8s in the woods up here.That one you posted looks more like a 600 series, http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/detail.aspx?OHID=1949903&GUID=163579bde50445ed9f818ee5f9350db6    never seen one with the axle that far back, but it could very well have been an option.Like Joe said, they built alot of variations.They even built a setback axle R model, the RB. http://www.truckpaper.com/listings/detail.aspx?OHID=2041614&GUID=8ec8888a9cb143b0847cdca55abd7fee    Pretty odd looking duck.John

Tatra as was said it is a RM or Dm800. There was a variation of a R 600 series Mack with setback axle RM 600. Mack always made a lot of variations of different models. I think Mack and IH made the most variations of trucks.I believe their motto was if they want it we will build ity. chocko.

It is an RD or RM 800. Not uncommon at all in coal country USA. Many times they have big Cummins or sometimes cat power, as well as the usual Mack.

Good day All,

This pic (which came to me via an Israeli old truck forum) is from an Iranian site and it's a dog for sure, so I think Jeff will excuse me for not offering it for the WAI thread. It looks like a DM800 until you notice the cab is centered and the wings are different. Can any of the Mack gurus provide a hint? It looks too good to be a local special, and I don't think any R-Series had front axles that far set back...

What is it then?

Cheers

T
