david wild Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Went by the old Huntingdon Motors today, has about 6 or 7 F models just hanging around waiting to go back to mother earth, fella that owns them said he ready to part with whats left, Don't think anything could be salvaged for road but lots of parts, post pics when can get them off phone or can send to someone and they can post, one still has winter front on from when they parked it.

Underdog Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I stopped by and looked 10 years ago, owner not ready to sell anything... At that time looked like not much value there even for parts. Too far gone.

Underdog Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 It's too bad that too many people wait til there is NOTHING left to finally "part with it". Nice guy to talk to, the owner of these trucks. He always made me feel welcome each time I stopped by. But after 2-3 stops, l figgered he wasn't selling anything. Seems like he still has every truck he has ever owned. Several peterbilts and KWs on the other side of the road belong to the same owner. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48038-f-model-macks/#findComment-355207 Share on other sites More sharing options...
david wild Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Told me he'd sell the whole lot, just don't think that there's much left ???? was hoping he had something stuffed away in the shop ??? nope. best collection was in vegas, Wheeler Mack, but when Al died they screpped it all, I saved the build sheets from 19??, that's all that is left.

theakerstwo Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 When i started to work on trucks the F model was still in producion and i have raised the cab on alot of them. The first cabs did not have a jake to raise them but had two torsion bars up front to help raise them. 1 Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48038-f-model-macks/#findComment-355281 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one on the right with the stripes and straight pipe in the last picture reminds me of the orange and white one I used to drive. Back then, 70's and 80's I mean, there were more F models around here than anything else except maybe Internationals. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

57 bcr Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Just wished they would have galvanized the F model cabs. There would be a whole lot more of them around for us to tinker with. Always loved the F's (and the A's,B's,R's,RS's,FS's and the RWL's!). Al 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

TeamsterGrrrl Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I suspect the locally built fiberglass cab was done to increase the local content and avoid import tariffs. BMC did something similar with fiberglass Mini shells in Chili.

Vladislav Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Swishy, Am I not wrong an Aussie F-model was built using R-model frame rails? Or actually a whole R-model chassis with exceptions of the cab attachments and air filter bracket? And what does the script FR-700 (or FIR-700) on the dash mean?
