BOBWhite Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Welcome to the forum! That Mack looks like it's worked hard its whole life, glad its getting restored. What engine and transmission does it have in it?

Doug T B42X Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Is that a humidor? I'd love to have a shop like that. All my toys are outside for now. But seriously, I think this is a very good site, good forums, experienced people who differ sometimes but are not afraid to give their opinions. The only caveat I would add is that it benefits all when a poster gives as much information as possible. (I have not always followed my own advice!)

Freightrain Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Those early V8s are cool but costly to fix/repair IF you can find parts. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

DaSilva_Mechanical Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Good eye, that is a humidor. The shop is actually used for my for my truck repair business but she gets a corner behind the work bay. Yes, I knew about the V8 going in but for all the truck will do once back on the road I'm not too concerned about it. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74449-my-new-to-me-mack-r700/#findComment-556921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
