It may be true that old Macks never die. Some however appear to be in critical condition. Despite having lost its hood letters and bulldog this one is still easily identifiable as a Mack. Nevertheless this beat up R model was able to make it from New Brunswick to Halifax (a hair raising drive I expect - note the missing driver side mirror). It will be exported to some distant land where it will be coaxed into a few more years of use.
R series are hard to date since they were produced for over forty years. The first Rs came out in the early sixties and the set back axle RB model (like this one) was discontinued in 2005.
The high breather and chrome visor make this one stand out. The pair of Mack air horns are also a nice touch too. I wonder what goodies are lurking under that tarp.
