umodelnut Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Its pretty cool when the camera man rides in the truck and at the end when it shows the guy shifting. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25344-8v-71-in-a-f-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Seems I recall that truck being sold from down south somewhere and getting shipped over there?? Sounds good.

57 bcr Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 That truck belonged to Roger Erickson of Newark,Ill. He is a member of our club.We don't see or hear from him too much anymore as he is a heavy equipment mechanic and is in very high demand! (must be good). He could not find the mount for the bulldog on his truck.I had just bought one (to get the long eared bulldog for the BCR) at Macungie and the guy wouldn't seperate the dog from the mount.I told him he could have mine. Needless to say,he was very happy to get it as he had searched all over for it. He sent me a check for much more than I paid for the bulldog and mount!

GearheadGrrrl Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Continental Baking bought a couple hundred Mack Western F models with 8V-71s back around 1966. Reportedly at least one was still running out of the company's Dallas bakery in the late 1980s.

JumperAndSon Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I've seen that one before. A buddy of mine is selling a western R700 and a F700 both with good running 8V71N's in them $7500 for the pair. I really want them, but we're not exactly "rolling in the dough" right now. If I see them, I be sure to take a video.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25344-8v-71-in-a-f-model/#findComment-121996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
