  1. I recently started restoring a 1980 F700 Cabover Mack. 350 cummins, 10 Speed. The tractor had been setting for about 5 years. I installed new batteries and she fired right off. I drove her about 30 miles home with no major problems. I've been starting the tractor at least weekly while working on it and no problems. Last nite I took her out to knock the cob webs off her and she started fine but had no power on acceleration. I just barely got it into fifth gear before she ran out of steam. I changed the fuel filter today with no improvement. Stumped and aggrivated.
  2. My name is Dan and I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I have been around Macks all my life and just can't get enough. Like everyone here I have so many more projects than I could ever hope to finish. My latest is a 1980 F700. This truck was on the road up to 2 years ago. 350 cummins, 10 speed, and twin screw. The truck is in amazing shape for the year and will be a pretty easy restoration. It does have some body damage in the ft lower panels from typical truck stop parking. I have replaced the wheels and tires with new rubber and aluminum wheels. Replaced the brakes and I'm in the process of installing twin stacks. I'm very excited to finally have a driveable project and hope to have it ready to show by the fall. I am in need of some F body parts if anyone knows of a source. Dan
