Cool truck. Brings back a special memory for me. The first vehicle I drove by myself was a Mack truck. My dad was a trucker, and when I was 10 years old he took me to the yard in Newark, NJ. Showed me how to put the truck in gear, release the brake and use the clutch. Then he filmed me driving it around the yard. Next he hooked up a tanker and let me drive it with the trailer hooked up. I remember it like it was yesterday even though it was just over 30 years ago. One of the last things we did together before he passed from colon cancer. I still have the video as well.

I was a bit younger than 10 when my father took me with him for a weekend when he was still OTR. I fell in love with Peterbilts because of that truck and also hold that memory close even though it's been nearly 30 years. Sorry to hear about your dad's passing but at least you do have that experience with him that you'll never forget.

That’s the “good buddy” switch. Forward flashes headlights, back flashes outer cab marker lights and trailer lights. Mack always had that switch there for easy access while driving and having your cig hanging out the vent window.

The correct name for the light swith to flask headlights and taillights/rear maker lights is called a “Tipping” switch it was also an option on Ford Class 8 trucks. That said I have installed “tipping light switches” on every truck I have driven that would allow me to momentarily flash on or off during the day analong with small bullet marker lights below rear most marker lights. I also wired all my chicken lights onto separate switch/circuit than the oem/dot required lights. Stupid story there was a truck stop near wear I used to live had a guy who worked out a mobile home that “repaired” CB’s and stereos as well as installed them as well as couple of guys who would polish whatever you wanted polished and install/repair wiring/lights. I don’t know what sort of deal they had with the owner/manager of the truck stop but those guys were there for years.

You got the “63” part correct but pretty much everything else you’d stated is common misinformation, but as we all know the internet is full of that. If you’re interested in Mack trucks’ history and want accurate, documented information you should join the BMT (big Mack trucks) forum, there are dozens of guys over there who know these trucks inside and out better than I could ever hope to. But anyways, To start L does not equal long hood, being an R7xx means it’s a long hood. There were plenty of RL600’s built that don’t have a long hood. The first “L” means a western (Hayward, CA built) truck with an aluminum frame, the alternative being an “RS” 6xx or 7xx, which would have a steel frame. An R700 (eastern built 700) RS700, and RL700 are ALL long hood R models, there’s no such thing as a short hood R700. The second “L” denotes lightweight components. Also the 700’s absolutely do NOT have a higher GVW rating than any given R600….the heavy / vocational spec R models are identified as “RD” and the heaviest spec’d of those will also have the suffix “X” or SX” at the end of the model number, for example “RD688SX”. Hopefully this clears up a few misconceptions, I know it’s easy enough to get information both online and especially in person from guys that claim to know certain things for a fact only to find out they were misled by someone and are now misleading you.

I don't listen to any of the old truckers, I've seen so much ridiculous statements by them in groups like ATHS, 3408 Enthusiasts, 903 Fans, and so on that I only trust a few people now to provide info worth preserving. I looked up and down through brochures and on BMT about the 400, 600, 700, and 800 "series." From what I gathered, they are different classes of chassis that have higher RBM capacities with the ability to spec heavier compnents regarding the specific series of truck you were ordering. Referring to a DM Series brochure, the DM600's frame RBM is 2.73 million in-lbs per rail, the DM600SX at 3.43 million, and the DM800SX at 4.85 million. R's RD's, and DM's were separate series altogether like the U's.

Most cummins with the PT pump have a sensitive throttle control that makes it tricky to shift sometimes. RPM also don't come down as quick as most engines. I usually double clutch more often with them. The good thing is you can start out in 2nd gear without hardly touching the throttle.
