james j neiweem Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Saw on face book today under F Model Mack's that the first F model was an F-715 with a 255 hp Mack V-8 and a 20speed triplex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Dumb question. How do they get a 20sp triplex?

That post was about the first F model bought by a company in Australia,the very first F model was most likely 711 powered as both the F and 711 engine came out about the same time in 1962 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70mackMB Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I know of one F model that had an Allis Chalmers in it. Came out of the mid west somewhere. Guy in Milford NH owned it around '78-'79. .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kscarbel2 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Remember though, most of the early F-models were not F-700s........they were F-600s (1962-1967). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 My dad had some 1963 F600s with 673 and duplexes. I'll have to dig up a photo or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 MB I remember they promoted the Allis Chalmers as a road engine for awhile in the middle 70s but then you didn't hear any more about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I drove an F model with a 350 Cummins, but it was much later, it was a 1979. Had a 350 Cummins with a 10 speed overdrive, Roadranger trans, Mack rears. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
