  1. Very nice Mack there. Good luck with the sale. See you are out of Lititz. I work over in Lancaster and have been to the Mack show there in October before. Didn't make it this year. I'm still looking for an F-Model myself, but one that is a little easier on the wallet to buy.

  2. Did you buy the truck from Sparr Truck in Florida? It looks familiar as I was inquiring about a truck that looked exactly like this one from them about a year or more ago. Nice unit!

  3. Welcome! How's the search going? An F is a good choice, cool looking and getting more rare. Some nice ones in the gallery. You will find guys in the hobby are very helpful and active on the site. Good luck!

    The search is technically over as I've been looking at an F-Model that's been for sale for awhile, just trying to gather the funds to make it happen. It has more rust in the bottom floor of the cab then I would like, but when I seen it in person...the first few seconds is all it took to fall in love. Thanks a lot and for the welcome. I'm hoping to buy this unit real soon. Will keep everyone updated.

  4. Thank you all for the warm welcome! Glad to be here and I know that for any information or questions I have this is my only stop.

    Welcome,and I hear ya about the new trucks having too much BULLSHIT electronics & emission crap on them today! Oh well,they're not going to take the stuff off,so I guess we have to get used to it! :thumbsdown: Hope you find what you are looking for in a truck and adivce. Here at BMT,we're loaded with it!........uh, advice that is....... :D Al

    I agree and they certainly won't be taking any of it off Al. If anything more unwanted junk and wiring will be added lol. They don't make anything like they used to that's for sure. Back to Mack though...I had a question about a 300 plus engine. This has a 10-speed Eaton behind it and the very well known tip turbine setup on the engine. Stock they are 315 horsepower. Is there any way to turn them up slightly to get more power and keep them reliable? Had a guy in person tell me they can be turned up to 365 horsepower pretty easy. Thanks. -Sal

  5. Hi all, just joined the forum here within the month of November and have been a visitor for some time before I finally decided to become a member. This is a great forum and the best Mack site on the net! Looking into buying an F-Model and getting my start in owning my first big truck. I've been to many truck shows including the ATCA show in Macungie for the last 4 years in a row and plan to attend many more in the future. Always look for the old iron and unique trucks at the show and can't help to say that Mack is always a favorite there. I'm a diesel mechanic and have been working on big trucks for almost 9 years, but for a different make in Freightliner. I do appreciate the older units out there as this new junk has too much emissions and electronics. Glad to be a member on the site! Thanks.
