martinf Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I bought a 1971 Mack Truck last week that will be towed home next week. It has a severed back air line. It's got a Prentice self-loader (with a hydraulic grapple) and a 350 cummins. It all runs and I watched the loader pick up a cadillac scrap car in the junk yard. 2500 bucks. Seemed like a good deal.That's about all I know about this truck. I must admit, this will be my first "big" truck, but I do have lots of construction equipment, graders, cranes, dozers, etc. so I'm not new to the area.Being a real Mack novice (I don't even know what model this thing is) what would you recommend to begin getting my feet wet?thanks,~martin Quote 1965 Mack B-74, dump1974 Mack R, logging w/Prentice self-loaderwww.somewhereonthemountain.blogspot.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3716-howdie-from-washington-state/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Welcome to BMT! Congrats on adopting a Bulldog! You should be able to find a tag with the model and vin number on the driver's side door or stamped on the passenger's side frame rail near the front axle shock mount. Or post some photos...we'll ID her for you!
