Lever94 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Thanks for posting. I have been looking at the original post for updates. I'm glad you have updated your progress. I'm a great lover of the F model, I'm in Australia and their are a couple of F models for sale at the moment, but I'm not in a position to move on them. One is in Western Australian, restored. No mention of what box or engine. Looks ok. Another in Victoria with and E9 unrestored. I would prefer one with an sleeper cab with an E9 and a maxitorque with 44's at the back.

Green Dash Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Nice! I like the dashboard layout, also. It offers easier access to the sleeper. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38160-the-cab-is-back-on/page/2/#findComment-274020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

39 Baby Mack Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Later style "F" model with an E9 V-8.I know it's an Aussie Mack and the dash is is a little different.Did you notice that is has an old style cab saddle mounting sort of like the U.S. torsion bar "F" models??!!Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38160-the-cab-is-back-on/page/2/#findComment-275206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted January 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2015 Ron I dont know whether you know this or not but most Aussie F models are FR models because they use an R models chassis only the very first used an F model chassis but that E9 F model looks like the front axle is in the wrong spot and the cab has had a major lift kit just to fit it all in PaulAnd I would bet vital parts of my body no F models left Mack Australia with a E 9 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38160-the-cab-is-back-on/page/2/#findComment-275263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Retro Racer Posted December 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) I ended up buying the truck mentioned above. Not from the guy that "restored" it, but from a fellow Mack enthusiast in Kalgoorlie that was hoping to put it back to work. Due to a growing business and mine sites being reluctant to allow a near 50 year old truck onsite, he had to let it go and buy a newer truck. It's far from restored. It's tidy on the outside and pretty much as it finished it career on the inside. She's a '68 F711-RST. Cross over steering shaft. Originally a long wheelbase rigid for Wrights Cattle Transport fitted with a C motor, quad box and 34,000 rear end. At some stage the wheelbase was shortened up into a prime mover, 44,000 rear end fitted with 6:34's. A 9sp over drive Road Ranger. The motor is stamped as a C, but it's actually a 237 Maxidyne. The original hard seat base on the drivers side (RHD) has been cut out and an old Mack suspension seat fitted in it place. I recently removed plywood additions to the centre console as most of the extra switches and gauges aren't connected. I also replaced the Push Pull Park Brake Valve as it was leaking profusely in the parked position via the foot valve. She holds start air for about 4-5 days and starts first go, even if parked for over a month. My short term goals are to tighten up the gear linkages, soften up the rear Spring packs and refurbish the semi custom cab suspension that was fitted at some stage. I also am hoping to fit a suspension seat for my lady...
