I have not looked behind the dash for the plug. That was one of my questions as if they would build the dash harness with it set up for a power window even if not installed I will check the fuse panel to see if it has a slot available

how difficult is it to swap from a manual to power window. Im just intrested in the Passenger window for now. 1) will the power regulator bolt in the stock door shell? 2) is there a special wire harness that can simply plug and play between the door,dash harness and the dash switch? Thank you

If you want mack rears and you currently have eaton then a complete axle swap is going to be cheaper in the long run. only thing to check at that point is if the axle tubes are the same size to accept any parts that clamp down on them to hold it to the suspension. My opinion is to stay with eaton. far easier to get parts for these days. 20 years ago id dissagree with my current statement.

🤡Get your popcorn ready and lets all have a laugh.🤡 NEWS FLASH.... it will be a re badged Volvo but this time "Mack" (if you can still call them a truck company) will even share the same cab with volvo. the stupidity of truck Mfg these days is impressive.

Sold my B75 yesterday to a nice young Gentleman from Easter KY. It was a cool old truck sitting up higher on a 78' R model Frame. but it had frame issues and I just didnt have the time to giver her what she needed. The kid already has a good western star frame with air ride rears and I think he might swap the B75 body and engine over into his good frame. This Truck has a 285 Tipturbine with a 5 speed and 3.87 rears. R model Steering and steering column that made it a breeze to turn. If had not been running since late october but we got it fired up pushing it with a cat excavator and he drove it up on the trailer. first time I had started it in winter temps and it was not too dificult all considering I was pushing with an excavator and had no speed with it. It was refreshing to see a young man with intrest in the old Iron. even brought his grand dad with him for the 20hr round trip. sad to see it go but hope this young man can do more with it than I can. Great guy if you know him heres some photos I took yesterday

OK thank you. I have a friend who was asking me if I had one and Wanted to confirm. Thank you

can anyone tell me what this bellhousing bolts up to. internet say its a E6 but want to confirm Date stamp is 1972 part number 634gc5194 thank you

If I remember right on the factory installed dual breather RW I Drove it had a reinforcment bracket on the passenger side similar to how the drivers side is.

I know they suffered from the ho low range syncronizer. they often grinded between range changes. Not macks best transmission but when they were working right they were not all that bad for a road truck. as far as value. they are not a popular option by people looking to swap in a diffrent transmission.

I bought the truck with The tip turbine already installed. But still kinda cool to see how they fabbed it up

Larry My Blue B model has a driver side Air filter added to supply outside air to the tip turbine. Its also a B75 long hood so 4 more Inches to work with under the hood and near the cowl. just an idea

Got the brakes to work today. Pulled the valve off and found dirt dobbers got in there. It was packed in the valve and the lines as suspected. I got it cleaned up and sprayed it down with tool oil. The lines came off easy and it looks like the valve was brand new. No oil or grime in any of the ports. While under it I pulled the drain valve on the tanks off and was pleasantly surprised to see a few cap fulls of clean oil drip out. Hopefully that helped protect them from rusting. I put some tool oil in the red line and hooked it back up. Pushed in the trailer brake valve and they released. I also put some new led tail lights on the rear so people can see me better. The wires in there.....brand new! No butt splice repairs anywhere! I really think the trailer was completely rebuilt and then used just a few times before it was parked.

didnt some of the early v8s use the quad box transmissions? I think the B81s had that set up

This trailer has all new plastic line from nose to the valves at the rear. then new rubber from the valves to the chambers. it has all been replaced. the kink pin plate has 2 holes to reach up into to loosen the pipe that the glad hands thread onto. I will have to repair them as I think their forklift hit them moving it around the yard Even the wireing is all brand new. I replaced the old style bulb tail lights with LEDs today.. no butt connectors or any repairs found. all incased in new plastic conduit.

If its the same engine I just posted about in a 2005 granite im currently in. I feel your pain. Probably the slowest truck I have ever driven besides my 65' Mack B model.
