For what they are,and as old as they are,they are a good truck.The 5 speed is good.You are driving a different animal than a modern Cummins or Cat.A Mack has a real wide range of power.By the time you get to 5th gear you will be running about 45,and you can go up a good size hill and shift up.Top speed on the one I drove was about 65.It will take a while to get there,but not as long as you think.They are still making something like it now I think.New motors have turbos and more power,but for an old truck a Mack is good.I like the 5 speed best,but I only drove one of them and a triplex.The triplex didnt drive too good that I drove,its probly a good truck though.On the bad side the parts are expensive.You may not need a lot of parts too.They are tough.Its hard to find people that know how to work on them sometimes.
