I love it! Much cooler than the over chromed average Peterbuilt or KW you see. There's something just too cool for school about an old school truck wearing it's work clothes and work scars.
I love the smile that so quickly appears as he shows off his truck. Old school as they say now. Hi job was more than a paycheck, it was a labor of love.
My first truck I bought was a 1971 Mack Western in 1979 . Had a 24 inch sleeper. 335 Cummins with a 13 spd , Mack rear ends . It was a Michigan special so 55 mph was the top speed . But when your 17 year's old and just starting out it was pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
I loved his explanation of propping the radiator shutters open with a stick. We had an overheating problem once with our F-Model west coast Mack. Dad changed a 1 inch radiator hose and cut a short length about 2 inches long and jammed in between the shutters "just to be sure they stayed open."
The gold bulldog originated with the introduction of Maxidyne/Maxitorque combination in 1967. Standard silver bulldogs were still used on the other Mack trucks irregardless of components used. Company my Dad drove for in Duluth MN bought one of the first ones in Duluth
Sounds like that truck has a lot of history, and the current owner is keeping that history alive. Always nice to see someone who express their passion like he did. That cab isn't to bad considering Those f model cabs didn't survive long due to limited rust protection back then.. That's pretty cool It retains most of its original parts. Thanks for sharing
You,can feel the pride he has in that Mack,I liked the fact,he stepped up to the counter to get the correct long ear dog.I would have done the same thing. I think what makes it really unique is the Cummins engine,and the Fuller transmission,and the non Mack rear suspension.Thank for a great presentation.
i meant a man a couple years back that owned a mjack western cabover and a 40 or46 reefer rtailer he let me take photos of it and sit in it, nice person
Highly enjoyed the history class on this truck. Remarkable! Mack's were the best at one time. Built for work and tough as nails. Do not know what they are like today.

You’ve found the right channel for old school :)

No matter how short the video may be, I think I stood and talked to him for over an hour!
Bulldog Pride shining through!

I spent my childhood summers at my grandparents farm outside of Boise Idaho, I love trucks , and I may have seen this truck when I was a kid !😊
I live in Oregon, and I drove truck for 40 years. I'm certain that I saw this truck quite a few years ago.
Gotta say, that's a neat Mack!
Thanks for another good truck tour, Red. You can tell Russell is a proud new pappy all over again. 🤠👍

Mack rears, Reyco suspension and long aluminum frame. That's California.
Mack didn't make a 13 speed back then
Fuller trans.
I drove one in Trucking school in Sacramento CA in 1980... definitely not for taller humans
Gas tank??
