You have to buy the H63! $800. You can't beat it.

[Superdog]

no shit,both looked like bargains

[BAD DOG]

Yeah they both look good for the money. It's just a long way to go to get them. It would cost more to go out and get them or get them shipped then you paid for both of them.

[umodelnut]

Wow. Thats pretty amazing

[1977vega]

That's a good 2700 miles from me

[BC Mack]

Sooo. I bit the bullet and set off East (going West is the Pacific Ocean!!) and 800 miles later there I was in Coutts Alberta... the things I have to do as a BMT intern!!! Nov 10th, minus 14 Celcius.. still snowing and 35kph winds. I must be nuts.

Anyway, long and short of it... I didn't buy them, yet, still mulling it over, so they are still available for anyone interested.. seller is pleasant to deal with but admits not knowing too much about the trucks.

H model, couldn't find a serial, no paperwork... 15 speed triplex trans on decal... seems to be all there but put away in the late 70's. I took as many pics possibe but snow and shrubs got in the way... many those of you who are experts can lend a hand as I have NO knowledge on this type..

FL785LST owned from new by sellers father, no paperwork, retired it in about 84/85 and been parked ever since with permits just left in the cab. For some reason some of the cab interior has been removed, I did see about a million mice droppings so maybe that is why, Mack engine, trans and rear end, springs and spoke rims 10.00x20?... but.. everything on the chassis is aluminum incl the rails... regular F model cab corrosion issues but not scrap. I noted that there was a Canadian Mack ID decal aswell as a Hayward plate, probably an importation certification item?

here are a few photos of both, G first

also... for FWD fans.!!!!! there were two of these on the farm for sale, so, I will start a new post for them.

[BC Mack]

And wow i wish we had snow like tthat here

believe me... you wouldn't..!!!!

[Superdog]

believe me... you wouldn't..!!!!

Boy needs his mouth washed out with soap for saying such things,don't he? We got our first snow today,just enuff to turn the grass white. I'm hating it already.

[Vladislav]

Looks like a normal amount of snow in my neck of the woods. Brrrr...

BC Mack, thank you for the work done, too interesting to see.

Sorry (or happily?) I'm too far away to catch some amount of nice old treasures.

[Green Dash]

I wonder how many '73's have the green dash. Prolly however many they made before they ran out of green then started with the tan.

[Maddog13407]

they didnt run out of that nasty olive color fast enough in my book.... kinda odd seein a 73 F model in green tho. honestly don't think ive seen any in my lifetime newer than a 72 anyways. and I second that comment about the snow Mike. seems its all fun and games when it snows and your a kid, once you start moving it 15

hours a day you hate snow..

[Superdog]

With the exception of the white steering wheel,that's the same interior my Dad's '72 F795 had,wood grain dash,and rolled and pleated upholstery..That one sure has seen better days,but it does have promise.

[BC Mack]

Maddog13407.. Superdog

if you blow up the photo of the Canadian cert label it states Feb 1972... I wonder where the owner got 1973 from?

Both ads are down, someone here buy them?

looks like he reposted one ad... for the F700... and it's still up.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-heavy-equipment-machinery/lethbridge/1973-mack-fl/1032339034?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

he told me he had a sure buyer in Alberta for the H63 if I didn't take it...

Could you apply for a duplicate title for the H? You should pick that thing up

[BC Mack]

Could you apply for a duplicate title for the H? You should pick that thing up

I'm pretty sure the H is spoken for or even gone.... he had an Albertan buyer that was ringing him daily for it..

titles... hmmm...

seemed strange that no paperwork exists, however, the son never inherited the truck nor is he given responsibility or power of attorney for disbursements of the estate, nor did he make a court claim to reposses property abandoned on his property.... got to be worried about another family member making a claim after you have restored it.... in a court of law, today, he couldn't prove he was the owner... legally... so, within Alberta it MAY be possible to come up with something as there was a licence plate inside the H....

BUT... if I bought the F or H and moved it to BC, even though it is still within Canada, I was told I would need copy of will, copy of death cert, notorized statement that son was family member responsible for sale, copy of vehicle history from Alberta government... a bill of sale is not good enough..... and then a Commercial Vehicle Inspection before I could register it here in BC and licence it as a "Collector Vehicle", after yet another inspection..... it was, at best, an organ donor for me without paperwork and with freight at $5 per loaded mile at 800 miles there was a math problem.

got to be the same issues in the states for vehicles "found on a farm" and moved to another state... there is no exemption for antique, the "import" needs an inspection and the nearest is "commercial truck".... and since I'm an approved inspector here in BC I know there is no wiggle room for this.

hope this didn't "over answer" your question....

to make my life easier I may take on a BC registered "F model".... one of the rare ones with "Hayes" badges, no dogs just Grizzly Bears on the doors!!!!....

BC Mack

[Superdog]

a F model cabbed Hayes would be a helluva score,keep us posted.

Back in 72 and 73 if a truck didn't sell by end of thye year they would update title. that would explain the green interior. a friend of mine bought a new dm800 in 73. It was a green cab and steel dash. the dealer updated the year because it never was titled and was still new. I don't think they can do that now a days
