Mack man 1973

No my old Mack is not for sale I have a gantry I'm selling I no longer use it I used it to install service bodies on new trucks. It comes with a spreader bar that adjusts and two hooks for service body pick up.and it comes with the trolley and chain fall the trolley is a good one not a cheap china . The chain fall is a cheaper one but has always worked flawlessly. It measures 17 ft wide x 10 ft tall the I beams are 6x6 x3/8 in thick I would like to get 1,500.00 for it I have more than that in it I am open to reasonable offers. You can send me a pm or call me at 419-595-2512 anytime between 8 am and 5pm

Dark brown metallic cab and cream fenders that's my favorite

Bigdogtrucker , I thought I was the only the that just appreciates a good ole one stack Mack with a muffler not every dam one straight pipped .

That shit does make a guy sick, I bought a 82 cruiseliner awhile back for parts I got it home it runs and drives good needs it's share of work but couldn't bring myself to part it out so I kept it and bought new frame rails for my rs . One good thing about all this parting out crap going on is the trucks we all have and cherish will someday have a value that's crazy because there will be so few .

Yes they are my west coast rs has the same as my freinds waist coast f model

I've got my eyes on that h model you have mike ! Just waiting to see that in the for sale list

Sweet ride ! Looks very nice woul look good in my barn. The colors look like Miami dolphins colors

Cool keep us posted on your progress

Thanks joe. That makes perfect sense ! When I was a kid u models were everywhere and I always wondered why they were like that.

I know this May sound dumb but what is the purpose of the offset cab on a u and dm models? I have heard so many different things is it for better vision and the cab can sit farther ahead?

If you have good coolant filters and change them on a regular basis regular non pre charged antifreeze is fine . There is no need for precharged coolant in a system with coolant filters they are pre charged

What a damn shame who would do that?

No joke I just replaced the battery in my ford 1520 tractor i bought it at quality farm and fleet in October of 1998 and it just now went bad. I kept the core just for a conversation peice

Sure looks like it may be one

Cool crane. My wife works for palfinger she sells those cranes and my brother in law works on them that truck probably was built in tiffin ohio at tiffin loader crane that is the main headquarters.

I have had very bad luck as well with exide . They are going out of business. I sell napa batteries at my shop and have had very good luck so far.

Thanks Jim ! I put my heart and soul into building that truck . It is nice to see people who know how much it takes to make a truck look like that. Now I have to get my rs 700 looking like that that's my next truck I'm going to do one for myself to enjoy !

The truck I am referring to with factory aluminum rails is not the one in the pic but a different truck we did. It had complete aluminum rails front to back . We changed them and put brand new complete steel rails in it one complete rail front to back. They were factory oem frame rails we ordered. They come pre drilled back to the fuel tanks and the rest were drilled by hand . The one in the picture originally had 1/4in steel rails in it .I put in two new oem steel rails in that truck 3/8in thick the truck is a rw600 the customer wanted the 700 rails installed in it that is what the one in the pics has in it

Yes he is the owner I did the truck for. Do you know him? We also did the other magnum he has as well. have you seen that one ?it used to belong to a guy Ed Roop it had aluminum frame rails In that one we had to put steel rails in it the aluminum rails were shot.

It is in Johnstown , ohio he is a friend of mine he has two of them .

Welcome aboard! I'm happy to hear of your interest in Mack trucks, they are the best. And the f model is one of my favorite as well I hope you find a v8 model. There are many folks here with a great wealth of knowledg and everyone is always eager to help each other that is what is so cool about this forum . Have a ball looking for your truck and keep us posted with your findings:)

One thing I have learned common sense isn't common nowadays !
