You can tell that b-models in west virginia, look at all the coal trucks!! Anyways, you would think unloaded trucks could go on "so to speak" down that mountain. Good pics though. Was that youtube video anygood?

yeah,you'd think! I had a jake too,or c-brake I guess it was- truck had a 444 Cummins w/18 spd. The cop said " you're supposed to have the truck in the lowest gear you've got". I told him if I did that I wouldn't have been there 'til tomorrow. He said "I DON'T CARE,THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO". The common sense rule should apply,but like I always said,safety has nothing to do with it,it's all about the money-they want yours! You used to come off the mountain and you had to go right into the town of Hopwood,but now they have a four lane bypass finished around town and you don't even have to slow down for Hopwood or Uniontown. Back when you had to go through town, right at the bottom of the mountain, the speed made sense,because you might be coming down in a 5 speed Mack with a 237,no engine brake,with a load of green oak lumber grossing about 93,000 lbs,but now it's just ridiculous.

You see lots of old units sitting around in West Virginia. There's all sorts of stuff up in those woods.

I watched the mule video,but couldn't find anything on the other one-I copied the web site and pasted it,but it came up saying it didn't match any documents.

Comng off of there in the lowest gear you got a with a 18spd would be pretty ridiculous, but then another cop would pull you over for going to slow empty.

Tom,

That B Mack looks just like my B-67 did when I

brought it home. Same colors, and looks like the

same condition.

maybe they were from the same litter?

Maybe ---

Mine was owned by Beck Motor Freight of Philadelphia, Pa.

It was half of a two truck order, and part of a fleet of

identical trucks from what I understand.

Beck may not have been the only owner, however.

Or the doors have been changed, as I could make out another name

On the other hand - I think that roughly 50% of all B Macks were red with

black fenders. Which is why I'm looking at a new color.

I felt so bad about denying you any Carlisle photos that I changed my avatar.

Just for you.

It's my 1966 R-600, which today I discovered has 22" rubber and a double frame.

You might have thought that I would have seen that before. It's all part of a

carefully laid out plan to keep me from learning too much too fast.

just for me?..how thoughtful . I had the fenders on the mixer painted black,thought it looked better than the solid red.Was gonna paint the top of the hood black too,but it's mashed in some and I thought black would make it more noticable.
