Here's a picture.

Saw this on FB marketplace. Not mine. (6) Marketplace - 1961 Mack b-61 diesel truck (dc area) | Facebook

...and they're all red.

Looks like it bid to $10300 and was a no sale. Now asking $21000.

Here's a link to the site. Lots of interesting info including a chart showing values over the past few years. Custom Hauler: Stretched 1965 Mack B53 Tractor - Hemmings.com

Hemmings Auction. Not mine just happened to see it.

Love to find that beauty under the Christmas tree.

Congratulations! Sounds like a great plan.

Looks like the plug gap is .030, timing is 4* BTC. The Mack Operation Manual does not give point gap but generic six cylinder should be around .020 and the dwell should be 31-35.

Now I don't feel so bad. A number of years ago I had a '68 Mustang fastback, 302 4sp with air. A friend wanted to buy it for his son that was graduating from HS. They came and looked at it and the son was really excited. The sale was $4000 (remember this was years ago). They gave me half and a promise for the other half in a month or so. I even threw a nice Mustang jacket. Of course months and years passed with broken promises. Then the father died and the son had moved away. After what I thought was an appropriate amount of time I called the wife who said she had nothing to do with it and wouldn't give contact info for the son. Since I had a lien on the title I figured I would hear something sooner or later but never did or as an optimist would say haven't yet..

That is plan B. If the parts store can't find the bushings I'll have them made. I spoke to a machine shop that makes a lot of parts for antique cars and he has made them before. Just needs the specs.

Looks like it was a no sale. So we will probably be seeing it pop up again. I hope the B Model thing is just taking a nap and will wake up soon.
