j_martell Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 2002 Mack Granite tri-axle roll off. No idea for motor (likely around 350hp?). I do remember 8ll fuller and axle forward model, turned like a friggin house!!!! No one liked it so no one drove it. I used it on the farm to shunt feed bins, then when the boss man let me do runs on Saturdays, that was usually the truck I took, cause I was used to it. Sorry guys, no pics. And from what I hear from his drivers, it's been sold.......(RIP NRD#10) Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....

Reuhlz Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I have never driven a Mack even though I own two. I am pretty sure it isn't supposed to be like that! I am working on it.... 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34641-pics-of-first-mack-you-drove/#findComment-232030 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 57 bcr Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 Not exactly the first I drove,but the first one I bought and drove full time. I had driven a few around the yard at the construction outfit I worked for out of high school. But that really doesn't count. This truck (my '79 R612ST) too,was a stretched tractor.That was 1988. All was good until I broke the frame. Had it fixed,and started looking for a truck meant to have 18K on the front axle. Bit the bullet & ordered new. Never sorry I did that. 6 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Popular Post storkmack Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 I think the first am kid rove would have been #14, 87' R model. By the time I got my license it had been traded in on our first new Mack. The first Mack I drove to make a living was #17. It was an old Plote R model that you couldn't kill and damn near drove it self. 300/ 2 stick 6 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34641-pics-of-first-mack-you-drove/#findComment-232098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jake Posted February 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2014 The first Mack that I drove for wages was a 1951 LJ with a 673 and a full 15 speed triplex. One week earlier I did my road test in a 1964 C Model, 711 and a 13 speed triplex. June 1968.
