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.
Another beautiful rig, I've been anxiously awaiting this since the preview was first posted. Well worth the wait. 😊
Nothing stops a good old mack well cared for 😊
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!
I love it , no more Michigan special anymore 😢 just trucks now days. I love how a women loves trucks and ur beautiful ❤
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!
Beautiful😊thankyou for sharing always grateful

This is a beautiful truck!! I love all Macks.
We love you!!! Jack!
WOW...what an awesome truck!...a real heavy, duty,beauty
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.
