The BCR at Dickson-Murst Show

wow!! i cant believe how beautiful this mack came out before and after!!! awesome job! whats the history of the truck?

It was owned by Severson Transport of Edgerton,Wis. for 40 years! Started out life as a 1957 B-61T.Was converted to an R using the Mack BCR kit in '68. It finished up life as a yard dog 4 years before I bought it in 2001. Thanks for your comments.

cool history!! thats kinda cool if you think about it, its two macks in one!!! what would the serial number on it be? would it be B61T? my u model was also a yard dog like yours.

Yes it is still titled as a '57 B-61T.The tag just gets installed on the R driver's door.I actually bought it for parts to use on a '58 B-61LT I was working on.It was too rare to cut up,so I restored this one instead of the B! The parts(at the time) were fairly easy to get and not too expensive in 2001 when I bought it.I hear its a different story today.I don't know how many old Macks end up as yard trucks.We know why,BECAUSE THEY LAST!!!
