Popular Post 68-f-model Posted August 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2016 What would the value be of a set up like this? It runs , rolls and stops but I wouldn't say road its road trip ready. -All new fuel, oil and coolant lines on the engine. Just considering options at this point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Uh oh, this don't sound good David. Hmmmmm, I'd go $7-8K maybe, depending on how solid the trailer is and the basic overall condition of both(engine, chassis, brakes, tires, electrical, etc). It's all in the eye of the buyer and what they want to pay for something like this. My .02 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Hobert62 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think the big steering tires defiantly give it a cool look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68-f-model Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 I am just putting some thought into things lately as I don't have a CDL and hate to see this just sitting in the back yard only to be driven in circles once or twice a week. I have two more sets of the wide tires and rims (385/65r22.5) if anyone could use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdogtrucker Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Do you need a CDL for antique tags in your state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Beauty and Value are in the eye of the beholder. Most folks don't like COE's. But for those of us who do they are hard to find and COOL. But I would agree that Freightrain is on the money Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack-F-Power Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 What Mack engine and trans does it have and how is the condition of the cab? Also, where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 In NJ if it's registered as an Antique no CDL is required since it's no longer in commercial for hire use. Check into your state with antique registration.

68-f-model Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 yep, only the finest 5" pipe that was kicking around in the shop at the time and just had to have the flappers. Good news though, the mack is staying put . Now happly holding down the back yard at the new house. Situations have turned for the better and now it can await its well deserved new parts. Hopefully I can either get my cdl or figure out a way to use it without a cdl. (any insight ??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitchwrks Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I keep trying to figure out ways I can goof around with 26K+ GVW trucks without a CDL, and keep coming to the conclusion that I just need to get my CDL. I'm pretty sure from what I've read that farm tags mean I don't need a CDL back home, but there's so much confusion about whether it would be OK across state lines even if only hauling personal property for hobby use (e.g. shop forklift or the family's big tractor with the post hole auger). I nearly bought a similar setup (1970 Mack MB-600 and Phelan 15 ton lowboy) last fall for moving some of the bigger stuff around. I always felt my old F-600 (when we had it) and an equipment trailer was much easier to control with larger trucks, tractors, loads of masonry, et c. than a 1-ton pickup. Just feels like you've got the right equipment for the task, versus pushing something beyond its comfort zone. Glad to see you can hang on to this one! Nothing wrong with a cabover Can't beat them for maneuverability, visibility, and as long as it's tilt-cab, they're pretty easy to wrench on.
