Frequently Asked Questions About Mack RD Truck Deck Plates & Air Line Boxes

What year models of Mack RD trucks are these deck plates compatible with?

Our deck plates and air line boxes are designed to fit Mack RD series trucks from 1990 through 2004. The mounting hole patterns are consistent across these model years, though we recommend verifying your specific truck's measurements before ordering. RD688, RD690, and RD600 models all use the same deck plate configurations. If you have a pre-1990 or post-2004 model, please contact our technical support team for compatibility guidance.

Are these deck plates made from stainless steel or aluminum, and which is better for my application?

We offer both materials depending on the specific product. Stainless steel deck plates (typically 304-grade) provide superior corrosion resistance and durability, making them ideal for trucks operating in harsh weather conditions or coastal areas. Aluminum deck plates are lighter weight and more budget-friendly while still offering good corrosion resistance. For trucks regularly exposed to road salt or marine environments, we recommend stainless steel. Both materials come with pre-drilled mounting holes that match OEM specifications.

Do I need to drill new holes or modify my truck to install these deck plates?

No drilling or modifications are required for standard installations. Our deck plates use the existing factory mounting points on your Mack RD truck. Each plate comes with the necessary mounting hardware including bolts, washers, and rubber gaskets. The installation typically takes 30-45 minutes per side using basic hand tools. However, if you're replacing heavily corroded original plates, you may need to clean or restore the mounting surfaces first.

What's the difference between deck plates with air line boxes and those without?

Deck plates with integrated air line boxes feature built-in compartments to store and protect your air hoses and electrical connections. These combination units help organize your connections while maintaining a cleaner appearance. Standard deck plates without boxes are flat panels that simply cover the frame area behind the cab. If you frequently connect and disconnect trailers or need easy access to air lines, the integrated box style offers better functionality. Both styles provide the same structural protection and aesthetic improvement.

Will these deck plates match my truck's existing chrome or painted finish?

We stock deck plates in mirror-polished stainless steel, brushed stainless, and raw aluminum finishes. The mirror-polished option provides the classic chrome-like appearance that matches most factory chrome accessories. For painted trucks, our raw aluminum plates can be professionally painted to match your cab color. Many customers also choose the brushed stainless finish for a more subtle, professional appearance that hides minor scratches better than mirror polish. All finishes are designed to withstand commercial trucking conditions without peeling or flaking.
