docthrush Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Im looking at getting a Mack engine and have been doing some reading online. The one thing that I read was that the MB series was the "cheap" line that they had at the time while the cf would have been the nicer type. Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on this. The engine that I am looking at has a Howe body and from what I am reading that is a lower end body as well?Any thoughts on this would be great. I kind of like the my/mc series as they are a bit different and everyone(collector) doesn't have them, but don't want to get something that I am going to have issues with at some point. ThanksDoc Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24401-mack-mb-vs-cf/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatcity Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 seems as though he is looking at a pumper.Two different trucks though.MB is a cab over,two seats and doghouse in the middle.CF is cab forward, drivers seat and two person bench.CF takes a little getting used to as you sit ahead of the steering axle Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/24401-mack-mb-vs-cf/#findComment-113548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
