    If you drive it bobtail you will need to hang on tight.
    Drove an old F series for many years and it went well but had zero storage space inside.
    Can still get spares for the F series except for the steering box.

    Don't buy it before you take it for a serious test drive,on a bad road.
    Then decide.

    The fuel mileage will probably be bad.

    He didn't say whether it's an F model or an MH...MH's are all fiberglass. I don't recall MH's being around in 1979, I may be wrong about that. Never cared to drive Macks, because people said it was two ########## staring at each other, and it gave me a complex.
