Heck no. Those old 5 speeds were great. Drove a coal bucket back in the late 80s for my uncle. Old metal cab DM 600 5 speed 237. Miss it !!! Would love to get in a puppy dog and go for a ride. Love ur videos takes me back riding along with u.
@@keithwaldroop961 it gets the job done and honestly I’ve said it before but this truck has been ok be of the best trucks we’ve had. They got it wrecked in the early 2000s and fixed it for a cheap truck and it’s been clucking along ever since
Can't believe it has been 22yrs ago when i had my 71'Mack Some one switched it over to a Cummins small cam 350 w/13spd and it had a 1/2" cable winch (only used it 2x) IT WAS A WORK TRUCK!! and then i installed a wet kit, and semi-bottom switch, Had a lot of fun with that truck, Just like the 84" Kenworth i had
@@coreyspence418 visit the Carolina beach’s almost every year. Nags Head or down in SC Myrtle Beach, but love the Mountains where I live. Thanks for watching!
Those are the trucks you first had to slam your fingers In the door because the only way to drive them is pissed off... real men nothing like these sissy's out here today nothing like them!!!!!! Keep up the great work guy's let this generation continue!!!!!
I loved the little window air vent on the top of the cab on the 71" Mack worked great in the summer times!

@ it’s hard to keep one of those old Mack’s down. I’ve seen those Mack’s take a beating hauling coal out of the mountains. 👍👍
@@keithwaldroop96190% of the trucks on the haul roads were Mack because they could handle the abuse even a good driver had to put them through
It looks great Mr. Rust with old Mack truck
I have watching your vides since the beginning still love the all your trucks and equipment have great day 😊
@@MarkGrant-ew3wk thank you! Glad to hear it!
I drove a R model w/a 237 5 speed & the high- low- reverse box. Loved the 6 speed reverse getting into some docks.

Love it.
I figured that truck would have a 7speed-9speed transmission
@@anthonyyoung7344 we’ve got one with a 9speed that needs work.
Don’t know what this truck was originally spec for.
