Popular Post BuckSkin Posted Monday at 04:21 AM Popular Post Share Posted Monday at 04:21 AM The Mack Trucks of Jones Transport KY Hwy 80 East - Columbia - Adair County - Kentucky Tuesday_25-February-2025 Jones Transport 1976 Mack F-700 One thing about a cab-over truck; if anything happens, you are the first one there. Although every one I ever saw was a F-700, there are also F-600, F-800, and F-900; I have not as yet been able to find what makes a F-600 different from a F-900 and etc. Although the cab-mounted placard will only ever display an even "hundred" "00", various 1st and second digits following the F-X?? denote the actual model number and denote various options and equipment. READ 1 --- READ 2 --- READ 3 Look laying on the dash in the corner of the windshield if you want to see some history. If you were tough enough to smoke those old filter-less Camels, then you were too tough for cancer to get you. I bet that pack of cigarettes is older than the truck. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75268-the-mack-trucks-of-jones-transport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozzotos of cheshire (down st from where I live now) had a fleet of F models back then ;; I'm thinking they were F600's ;maxi's with 5 speed. only F-700 I remember was the burgandy/ white F-700 from factory with the new experimental V-8 866 thermodyne .

It is one of the pictures we used when presenting him with his 50 year achievement award. His son has since changed the wheels to aluminum Budds.😟 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75268-the-mack-trucks-of-jones-transport/#findComment-571114 Share on other sites More sharing options...
