I just missed the R Models....began trucking in a cabover Mack MH...manual everything, but sorta large (for me) inside. This R Model is truly beautiful!
👍I like the spokes, painted bumper, classic look. It keeps that vintage NE style. In my opinion too many R models are getting the "tropical" look - polished hub pilots, huge chrome drop visor, shiny bumper and tanks, and often gloss white. A cool look, just not the traditional feel.
Drove lots of R models 5,6,7 8ll and 13 speed but the 5 and 6 speeds whether 237 or 300 were my favorites I never would have switched out for a 9 speed but that’s me thanks 👍
