bulldogbred Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Guys, My father in law is a livestock hauler OO in Colorado and has ran off brand trucks all his life currently a 379. Except the truck he learned in was what he claims a 1964 Mack cabover. Based on years it would have to be an F model correct? He claimed his dad owned the truck, and when he started trucking (around 72) he drove that truck for his dad. The only reason I am questioning him is he said the truck had a 211 and a duplex in it. Could you get those options in an F model in 64? I for some reason only though the 673 engine was offered in the F and not the 711 series. I am just questioning whether my FIL could be off on his years of truck and have actually drove an H model with a duplex and 211.... Basically I am wondering if you could get the F spec'd with that engine trans combo.Long story short I would love to find a truck and redo it to match the green and white two tone truck for my father in law in honor of his late father (who I never knew). He cannot seem to find any photos of the truck as this would obviously clarify. Thanks for any insight.

theakerstwo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The 673 turboed engine was 205 and the 711 was 211 HP.In 74 the 711 was in production I think.

Underdog Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I own a '63 F with a 673/ duplex. The 711 was also optional at that time.

theakerstwo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 In 64 if I remember right was when the 711 went from a 3/4 head bolt stud in the intake side at each end to two 5/8 to replace it.

Popular Post Superdog Posted January 23, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2016 The 711 engine came out at same time as the F model in '62,that's when they quit making the G & H models,with the exception of the heavy H80 series which ended in '66. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43674-mack-cabover-expert-questions/#findComment-321256 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple dog Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 What ever happened to all the half cab F models? When the chicken plant in Dayton VA was called Rocco they had 2 boat loads of them.

Popular Post 220cummins Posted January 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not to change the subject. It was the first aluminum cabover from Mack. Then came the Cruiseliner. My dad owner a 62 g75 that had 220cummins (he turbo it 262) 14 quadruplex 38k rears on camelback. He loved that truck. It was almost identical to Doug Maneys G. He bought it after it repowered and tag axle added. He had to have it dyno'd at Pittsburgh Mack because the weight laws changed at the time and required a minimum brake horsepower to get the 73,280. He went on to turbo it and put the full screw under it from a f model. My user name on here is because of that truck. Coincidently I work in the same building and same bay that the dyno used to be in and has since been removed, or so I've been told. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43674-mack-cabover-expert-questions/#findComment-321295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61mack Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Do any older Mack guys know if most Mack dealers had dynos, they had one at Mack Trucks at Indianapolis, IN. up until the early 90s. did all Mack dealers have a dyno. seems like when they changed hands the dynos were gone.

bulldogbred Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I do not believe all dealers had wheel dynos. My grandpa never had a wheel dyno I do not believe at NI Mack until they bought out Rockford Truck sales in early 2000. They had one at the Kenworth shop. They did have a dyno that hooked on to a driveshaft deal at Grayslake though I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43674-mack-cabover-expert-questions/#findComment-321361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Superdog Posted January 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted January 24, 2016 There was never one around here but I remember our local dealer sent Dad up to one in the Chicago area to have his V8 F model dyno'd. The brothers that owned H&L Mack also owned Nelson Trucking Service and ran Chicago with wallboard everyday and hauled steel back,so they gave Dad a load both ways when he went there. I sure miss those days. Whenever we had a truck in the shop or even if we just needed an extra for a day or week,whatever,Harry Nelson would put a dealer plate on a used truck they had on the lot and say bring it back with as much fuel as is in it when you leave. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/43674-mack-cabover-expert-questions/#findComment-321367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 the good old days Mike and good OLD Mack Dealers....I have heard stories of my great grandfather trading B models into Utica Mack back in the day and pickin up the new truck and the salesman would say,'' John are you still using that old truck?'', hed say yes and they'd say ''well take the new one and just bring the trade in back whenever'' and a few times the trade in NEVER showed up. he would also go to the Mack garage on sundays just to HELP the guys rebuild transmissions and motors just for the hell of it and to stay up on things.
