Well,folks--
I won't be getting the Mack EH after all. The owner suddenly decided the amount we had agreed upon isn't enough,so he's sending back my deposit on it. :mad:
He told me the price was $1,000.00 earlier,so if any of you are interested you might still be able to get it for relatively cheap. I think this truck is way too
for a guy like its current owner. So if you're interested,just ask and I'll get you in touch with him. I even heard he's considered making a "rat-rod" out of it!
I hope somebody out there can save this Mack!!
I'd still be interested except for 2 factors:1-Where I come from,when you make an agreement with someone,you stick to it,regardless of the outcome. and 2-The thousand is about all I can afford to pay,without dipping into money I have earmarked for repairs,service,and fuel for the retrieval of the truck.
It saddens me to be treated this way by someone I considered as family,but I guess it just proves that you can't trust relatives in matters like this. I'm looking into different makes,as well as Macks,as I'll be needing a truck this summer.
Maybe I'll be able to find another Mack in the same price range,but I doubt it.
Right now I'm looking at a '47 International ton-and-a-half Cab-n-chassis driver for 500.00,a '49 GMC ton and a half flatbed for about 2K,runs great
,and a '47 Diamond T for 2,500.00,ran fine 5 years ago when it was parked. I think I can work the prices of the 2 more expensive ones down to an affordable amount. ;)I'll keep you guys informed.
Speed
