nice!

Superdog, that tag you have is off of dump bodies Mack offered around the 20's. I believe the bodies were built for them by heil.

For $800 you can't go wrong. If you put $150,000 into it your still $25,000 in the black

good pickup Pat, the guy said you beat me by 5 minutes! at least now I don't have to drive to Minnesota this weekend!

yep, I just called for it. I wonder if it was patbossct?

The B81 is stick you fingers thru the fender rusty. The frame is spread with rust and the springs are spread as well. Would take a lot to bring her back. It has a non turbo 711 in it if I am correct with a 15speed triplex.

Hay bag sweet truck! can't wait to see it all done some day!

I looked and I don't have any pictures of it, but if you google search Mack FC in is the Fauzio Brothers truck. The FC's had a C cab instead of the fully enclosed L style cab.

those are all FCSW's. There are actually a few of them kicking around. An FC is a single rear axle version of that truck.

Chris is missing the FC but Gary has the only one in existing that I know of

I stand corrected. The truck you have posted with the yellow bumper and shell over the radiator appears to be an FW1C. The Nasin truck is an FW and the red one certainly is an FP. The FP was actually one of if not the most produced trucks in the F line up with 365 units produced. The FW was the least produced with 63 total between FW1C

The trucks Vlad has posted are at Gary Mahan's. I don't believe the second one is an F but an L like fifth wheel posted. I have never seen on with the "soft radiator shell"

No, they are not mine. They belong to Chris Barry. He gas an incredible collection of f model trucks.

a beautiful survivor FW next to a beautiful survivor AC-6

I believe that it was AP's and AC-6's that built the hoover dam, but they may have used FC's too. Ron Carey has one of the AP's. Awesome truck!

my guess would be that you will see granites around 30 to 50 years in the future. don't get me wrong, I love B81's, but granites are awesome trucks too. Take a 2003 cv713 for example. I found one for sale on crags this summer with 82,000 miles on it. E7-427 with a mack 18 speed. Awesome truck,looked like the day someone bought it. There is no reason why that truck won't be around in 30 years if it is in the right hands. I have a 1998 rd688sx with the exact specs, 130,000 miles on it. It has a light workload and it lives in a heated and air conditioned shop. The truck is like new and its almost 20 years old. It will be around in 30 years. That being said, I have seen similar units abused that look like clapped out turds not fit for the road. Remember a lot of b81's ARE NOT still around. They were run hard, wore out, and discarded. Nothing has changed, the cream puffs will survive and the rest will go by the wayside.

That being said, I think I would rather be driving the granite

I like them, they are like a newer version of an fk

I would say it would be a no go. There are other transmissions that would work way better with the 300plus. That transmission would always be one footful of throttle away from destruction. I would use a mack 7 or 12 speed if I were you.

how are the 2004 emission mp7 engines?

is the only difference between a ctp713(axle forward) and a gu713 that the gu has the burn chamber to meet nov. 2007 emissions?
