Hi I was curious if you found these brake shoes. I’m working on a ‘55 ford f700 and they have the same shoes as you have shown. My issue is I need new shoes because the one side shoes are broken and the drum was cut. If you had any info on finding them I’d appreciate it

B&M's website doesn't have a good photo of the Mack but says that it is formerly Hampton, NH. This photo shows it at a fire in the Hampton Beach section of town in 1950. It has been privately owned for a while. Bob Fitz, Sr. photo.

Your welcome.

Excellent thanks for that…. lol I’ve had my kit around 24 years mine was partially put together and no plans some one on here had some from the same kit he sent me a while back… bob

Couldn’t resist found this somehow on google search just looking through some movies

More pics..

I’ve been chipping away at this for many years finally about a month ago I finished the frame work and the Mixer. My wife bought me a MPC Mack DM800 at Hobby Lobby about a week ago so I am using it as a donor kit for the Cab, Hood, Fenders and other stuff. When I bought the kit about 26 years ago it was missing a lot of parts including one side of the hood. The look I’m going for is like the DM800 on the Box Art of the MPC Gravel Trailer. Red with a White frame and instead of the chrome wheels they will be White. I’ve always liked that truck. I’m thinking about 3 Red stripe bands around the drum.

That's true!

you too welcome back,,,,bob

Happy New Year!

That is a really nice old Mack. Wow!

Maybe they should’ve sent IRS agents in there to investigate if you owe the government $.10 they will find you

Yes, I noticed that I couldn’t help but think to myself why is it getting rid of the only thing that runs or at least looks like it’s ready to work the rest of it is just taking up space

Have to admit, that is one of the best looking flywheels with puck clutch I have seen. Disks have some "floppy" damper springs. I used to have a source for buying disks separate from the whole clutch, but that dried up a few years ago.

Wow,18 billion! I heard on the news this morning it was at 9 billion, now they're saying 18! Unreal!! And some are saying wait until they get to California, the fraud there is even worse. How people can still defend these thieves and criminals is beyond my comprehension, that's 18 billion dollars of tax payer money, gone, stolen, most likely sent to Somalia so they can buy newer, bigger, better, stronger, and faster pirate ships. 18 billion.

Only thing to make it better would be a 350 and 12speed. terry and 4.17 rears

I pulled the clutch on my Kenworth in May of 2025 due to not disengagement and a rear main leak. Clutch had 740,000 on it basically 8 years. Had alot of life left, but the pilot bearing was literally gone. Pieces of it were lodging and causing disengageing issues with my clutch. It was a shame too, because i know that clutch would have went a good bit longer if the pilot bearing hadn't gave up.

Interesting. I will say in the older trucks I've run the organic clutches did seem to have a smoother engagement/disengagement. The newer Eaton ceramic clutches from 2017 on with the newer proprietary materials on the pads of the discs seem to replicate the same smoothness on engagement/disengagement that of an organic material clutch.

Just talked with the auctioneer and he said it will be posted by tonight

If you are able to open the link and look at all the pictures in the listing. He has a bunch of interesting stuff in the garage. Looks like an Autocar, B81, and an L cab Mack at a minimum. Also some stuff sitting around outside looks interesting.

Brocky, Actually I found something even better believe it or not! While browsing on Facebook asking questions and searching for any info available I lucked up!!! I came across a group with a picture of a truck looking identical to mine. Titled “My 63 Mack B-67 Pickup Project Build”! So not only did I find out the year. I also got to “witness” this guy completely transform the Mack he brought home into what I have now! What a great job he did!! All the way up to the video shared at the end showing that he had achieved getting it running then to the pics shared of it being loaded onto a Rollbak at the moment he sold it 8 yrs ago!!! I am sooo siked I can hardly believe it!!! Waiting on him to get back with me so I can ask his permission to show his photos and clips in order to really get across to people how much work was put into this treasure!!!! Hopefully he’ll agree and I can share them with you all!!! Turns out it is a 1963 B-67 six wheel, tractor chassis, for extreme export, ( not sure of exact placement on the letters tho!!! I’ll keep you all posted!!! Thanks sooo much!!!! Tamatha

man that thing is tits,,,,thanks for that,,,bob

Interesting configuration as it is. I don't remember seeing many (any-?) RB dump trucks. Thanks for sharing.
