All 3 of his cabs had swirl marks. Im no body man but was able to use high build primer to get rid of the rough printed lines. When I say bigger I'm referring to the scale length of the cab. 1966-1972 R model Mack's had a steel dash and flat rear wall "short cab" . In 1973- to end of production the cab was +3" longer. Noticed by looking behind the doors. The later cabs were a little deeper and had long grab handles. My 6 wheel dump is a small cab, my RS700 and this r600 are of the larger +3 cabs.

Thank you. I like it too. It looks like a standard R model but with a little bling.

Thank you I'm waiting for the guy that makes these cabs to do some rear wheels. I have front spokes that he and I designed but I really think this truck would look great with aluminum fronts and spoke rears. A true east coast classic R Model.
