Rob Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 http://albany.craigslist.org/atq/2498939440.htmlI'd love to install a 26' rollback body onto this and use it. Always have liked the looks of the "L", and "A" series Macks. However, if I drag another truck home I'm afraid my life would be cut very short.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

ThaddeusW Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 That is one nice truck. Now all I need is a bigger piece of property and a low boy. 1 Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Greg Rider Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I read somewhere about that truck being used as a water truck at a local dirt track.

jaysm35a2 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Ebay , it was used for the last 20 or 30 years as a water truck. Im sure the frame is rusty. That was what I was worried about.

ThaddeusW Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 If it does have a 672, then it has its original Mack-Lanova diesel engine. A very rare find! Very nice truck.

RRJordan Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The LF reminds me of one I drove in 1956 or '57. It was a 10-wheel dump with a Mack-Lanova and a duplex. Does anyone remember Cooney Bros. out of Tarrytown, New York? Any interest in swapping a few stories about those old days?

41chevy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Apparently not very interested in selling it. I called friday afternoon and evening, saturday a couple of times and sunday before we left Hunter to come home. We were only 40 miles or so from it and just kept getting told to call back in a few hours.

41chevy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Those people are nuts. My thoughts with the drum is after I have it lifted off is to quarter it, empty it and re weld it. It will never be functional just look the part.
