    My Dad owned a 1974 Mack F700 with V8 mack engine and 5 speed granny. It had the green interior. It had so much torque it kept breaking the cab mounts. Love those old Mack trucks.

    That old F700 Western looks like a real brute….Michigan Specials are singular tractors to begin with, but a V8 cabover F700 Michigan Special is truly exceptional. Thanks for the tour!

    My dad drove for MATLACK in the sixties,seventies and eighties,He drove a F model with the 385 V8 and a duplex. I remember him going around a corner and putting his arm through the steering wheel and grabbing both sticks to shift! Also there were 2 of his buddies that drove for Matlack and where both around 250 lbs apiece and teamed in an F-model for 5 years. That’s when men were men!!

    In the 80's I owned a 73 F-model. It was an original 325 v8. I bought from my dad. I put a factory rebuilt 300 in it, got rid of the 5 speed and put a 10 over drive in it. Truck was black with the sun visor, dual snorkel intakes and 5" straight pipes. No power steering , i ran the old truck from Virginia to NY city 3 times a week pulling flat bed. Trucking was a blast back then. Your truck looks great and it brings back a lot of memories. Thank you for the trip down memory lane.

    3.5 million miles! Wow, I'd say that old F-model bulldog has earned her retirement. Thanks for showcasing this truck! It's a beautiful old Mack.

    Love Mack trucks. The older the better. My uncle always drove Mack's. I used to go on runs with him. This Mack is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

    Your best video yet ! I knew Dale I sold him the last engine that I believe he put in that truck around 2008 or 2009 he was still working it then . Sure glad you got together with Jack to do this video. Like he said this truck is literally a Detroit area Gravel hauling legend! Glad that Jack is doing a great job at keeping the old girl up and getting it out to a few shows . Great video!

    Been a while since i made a comment but lovely truck and cool owner, great interview and review thanks. I like the old macks too. I grew up as av young child with a huge poster of a Mack superliner logging truck on my bedroom wall so that always planted a seed for my interest in Macks. I drove a few R models in my 20s and enjoyed driving them, had so much low down torque and the turbo spool and engine always had their unique note 🎵. The 12 speed mack box was pretty well suited to them too and also had it's own specific whine 🎵. Cool memories. 👍

    Glad to hear that I'm not the only mack nut around! When I look for a truck, the only decision to make is what color the mack will be!

    Cool Mack! We needed to hear the V-8 run just a little.
