JTFormula Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 You are right anything can be fixed if you have the time and money. I do not have unlimited supply of either to save this one. Its going to require more then I am willing to do being the body is in need of a lot (rust everywhere), The one door is seized, the drivers door is pulled out a couple inches at the top so that needs replacement, engine condition is unknown as the owner stated it needed work and possibly had a dead cyl which is the reason why they parked it over 20 years ago. It might be locked up for all we know. As a first time Mack purchase, this is not the right truck for me. You guys are welcome to buy it and save it yourselves. $1,000 is cheap yes but I would be better off buying a better truck for a couple thousand more which will save me thousands down the road.It financially doesn't make sense to me to buy the truck when in reality it is most likely good for parts. I don't have the room to buy something like this just to let it sit as a 5 ton yard ornament or part it out. If I had a farm I would have dragged it out of there. My home property is only 70x140 and commercial vehicles are not allowed. I am not sure how long I would have that at my dealership lot before my landlord gets on my case. A man has got to know his limitations.
