h67st Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 It looks like it's been well taken care of. So many trucks this age are parked in the weeds with mouse nests everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddeere Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I contacted the Mack Museum to get information on my 1977 F model it has hydraulic tilt. They sent me information and a Operation Manual on a 1971 F model it had tilting instructions showing lifting the cab by hand . The change must have been between then unless hydraulic lift was an option. Edited October 4, 2019 by eddeere finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
