Green Dash Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Looks decent but I think there is probably much more rust than the photos suggest. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ditto that. The back of the cab don't look terrible(around rain gutter), but sides and doors? Floors? Likely not too pretty and for that kind of money?? Maybe about 1/2 that. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

39 Baby Mack Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 As I posted before-----In the summertime off in the distance, over the dull hum of the crickets, if you listen close enough you can hear an "F" model Mack rusting away!!!!Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 1974 was an inbetween year. It has the newer style fleet bumper (ILO the old flat bumper), but it still has the old air intake (the "cool power" 300 came out the following year. The best F-models were the 350s (F-788ST's). I sold one of those new with an Eaton 13-speed and the rare deluxe factory interior. TRDL1070 10-speeds were rare.1978 thru 1981 F-models were the best years.

Maddog13407 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 by the looks of that blister on the sleeper and the bottom of the doors, its most likely like most f models, a rot wagon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedcamp Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I'm looking for a photo of an "F" model, preferably tandem but I'll take what I can get. It's for a book I've written titled FIFTY YEARS OF TRUCKING FROM FLATHEAD FORD TO LONG NOSE PETE. Actually a lot of it talks about Macks because I worked for 2 Mack dealerships, Calgary and Langley B.C. and owned many Macks and Volvos. If anyone knows where I could find a picture I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks Ted Campbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackdaddy Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 There seems to be little interest in corporate identity anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yea, there is a drop of interest to keep the corporate originality.Because it's a part of truck's history.Although in a case the corporate colours looks good.This is a question of the day for me now.So here's my part of F's displays.Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
