I grew up MACK as my dad owned a
Mack dealership so I love the bulldogs great lookin truck so far
It's a later model 2002 RD glider kit. ( sloped fiberglass hood) I like the flat top hood best but im just glad to drive a mechanical R model mack.....don't see a lot of steel fender Mack's..... the salt used around here would just eat up a steel fender truck. We're the parts hard to source for the restore? Not many steel hood Mack's left running around.

That's cool that your dad owned a Mack dealer. I bet you saw plenty of nice mack trucks growing up. I wish Mack had a better following in today's world. Considering they have so many "firsts" in trucking history.
