This was 25 years ago now , there was pictures coming home in Kazakstan  over the desert it was hard packed earth no road for miles , we were trying to find a shorter route from Sammara in Russia to Symkent in Kazakstan to save all the miles on terrible roads going round by Almarta to Tashkent this the original Silk Road .

Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like you covered plenty of interesting miles and kilometers with your F-model.

And also sounds like you passed along my neck of the woods several times. Macks are really scarce in Russia, I'm pretty sure you noted that yourself.

Would be very interesting to see pics of your restored truck.

Hi , Chris1953 haha , I'm les n 1952  model ,  the model of Mack I ran was a  F786STMack  the same can be seen owned by Overdorp transport Holland , possible came from them , I recovered mine from Germany with the gearbox gone then converted with a second hand box to the three position air change five position stick if that makes sense , high / low / reverse in each five stick positions , could be a bit of a bastard if you stopped in third  then went in to reverse on the switch and got court out .

Now then North Queensland Australia hows it goin .
