bootlegger60 Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hello all, Used to have a 1966 F-600 about 15 years ago and guess I didn't learn to well. Found a 1970 F-785st the other day and it followed me home. It hadn't been driven since 1994, but they claim to have cranked and run every month or so up to about three years ago. Took about 2 hours to get the batteries swapped and the old 237 maxidyne fired off. Got a few airleaks to fix and she'll be drivable.

I used to drive for them a few years back. Unfortunately, they weren't a Mack fleet anymore by the time I got there...got stuck in a freightshaker.

bootlegger60 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 Yep, Builders transport in Memphis. Truck was leased to them by the owner Tom Crumby. He was the origional owner, truck purchased from Tri-State Mack in Memphis, Nov 1969 for $19,800 dollars. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
