even with enlarging the picture . difficult to see wheel; almost looks black from shadow. one fine looking unit. thanks for picture. now the pressure is on to get yours done looking same.

the egg saga was enough to panic people to buy what they didn't need / raise the price. bet no one walked in to the store back room to see if cases of eggs were there to give appearance the store shelves were empty. like the gas -goes from $1.50 per to 6.00 then when it drops to $4.50 people are happy price came down!! it's still $3.00 more then it should be. if you have an item for sale which you want $100.oo for;; do you ask $100. OF COURSE NOT. you ask $175.oo knowing the bargaining will bring it down to $150. oo . so seller(government) still screws the public which think they are getting a bargain since over rated price dropped.

you have all the components to build your own gym. take a mounted rear tire -roll it up/down street for few laps.or two brake drums on a pipe== bench press . another u tube video in the making .also ! neighbors start watching. you can give classes. will have enough $$$ to get the DM up and running.

confused as to the walking beam suspension 'then realized it's a DM 6- - S;; not SX. 38 rears ????

if you bought the $150.oo hood think of the experience not gained/ my biggest "dumb move "was two simple words :::I DO !! have been paying ever since.

is it going to have a chrome bumper or painted ?? I'm between DR visits for a while ; will it be ready for the sept Labor day parade so I can ride in it ??

ever think of posting this DM rebuild on U tube as an editorial for us folks to learn ?? don't know how that works but your subscribers might help with the $$ to repair that DM. from fiberglass to steering box over haul this has been for me very interesting.

before they are allowed to live in your house ; you MUST support a bill to let them out of prison!! forget the key to your house;;; leave the door unlocked . also I don't want to give the politicians a key to my house:: some of the biggest criminals . just say in

no their NOT. another way of wasting millions of $$$ on paper. no one questioned how the jan 6 "invaders 'got into the white house; where was secret service ????????? why didn't the price of chicken triple after the virus killed millions of chickens; just the price of eggs tripled (right before Easter) . sadly the American public believe what the controlled news reports

this site ISN'T about enjoying stress. just the opposite from an ole mans point of view. [point of this forum is to change direction and look at a "comical" state of country affairs, definitely NOT a one sided soap opera. like Lady Liberty ; eyes closed and listened. can't find much to laugh at anymore. skipped work today and walked around walmart/ home depot ;;; never realized the tension/stress!! no one smiles/says hello any more.

want a good laugh OR a scary thought ;; look at the pictures posted on B model auction ; see how the pintle was "attached" to the B model. cut rear cross member middle out ; welded in a pintle hook. !! now that's frightening

if only he did go

objects of the tarriff is a positive ; sadly system is tooo far gone . also the people filling their pockets $$$$ will make the tariff idea look bad.if only there was a way to back step time. based on told experience , my Grandparents being IMMAGRIMANTS who came to this country in 1905 worked their ass off to buy a farm in CT . when 1929-30 depression struck they didn't know. THEY WERE HARD WORKING POLISH FARMERS. you want to live ==either you raised it or grew it to survive, and they did. greed has ruined what should be a great country. NOT a ruler but a great country. sorry kids. it wasn't this why back then☹️

If trump and others make their millions from oversea investments; are they paying the tariffs working class are paying on oversea "products"??

this link definitely has more plus better pictures. to be sure guess a person has to be there /inspect for themselves. lot 13 states B42- hood on green Mack clearly states B-61. 673 with jacobs engine brake. rear brakes changed to spring maxi.

thank you for the link page; one day I hope to learn this computer stuff :maybe LOL . don't know the accuracy of the listings. B-65 listed as '60's; according to book of facts ; the B65 manufactured 1955-1958 with only 1623 being made. not sure what distinguishes a 65 . rule of thumb all odd numbers -diesel. difference between 61 /63/ or 65 ??? B67 was the contoured cab ; trailers were getting longer .

another pass it on auction ;not mine. auctionzip shows an auction in PA,, 8/20/25 . auctioneer Bill Anderson auctioneers, listing include: lot #1-'61 Mack B-61 dump // lot#8- Mack B65 dump with 5&2 transmission //lot#13 Mack B42 (B42x6851) // lot's #s 25= = 30 Mack parts. location address 701 county Line Rd ;Acme,PA thought this could be of interest to some one??

also the R has to be built much stronger to carry a pintle hitch/ trailer.

project looking real good. nice job. the R688 might be a tad more of a challenge since the frame was hacked so bad /short of material close to air bags and suspension :BUT following Your pictures the R688 can be done.

Budd wheels/lighter rears ? possibly a tractor changed over to dump. the style of the dump fits the 75 nice.

now that's got to be a first ;; hole in cab shield for straight up exhaust pipe ; not the curve pipe around the shield. little fluff and buff =one fine looking Mack.

cheaper and faster going down production line.

NO reason for "sorry" ; without asking knowledge is never learned. in time the statement "have very little experience "will be old news!!! speaking for the BMT crew ; up dates are always appreciated. to be 40 or so yrs younger and bit closer this would be a fun/ challenging easy project to tackle.

all depends on the situation and experience OR $$$$ behind the project. not knowing complete details or history of the truck . ponder the seller did a half/ ass job cutting the rear off to keep a pintle hook frame set up ??? with ALL PROPER safety equipment used .good cut-off saw to straighten the taper on frame rails , mate a matching rear section ;; weld in and plate . will be done strong enough to hold a pintle. using a truck cut off section with crossmembers will be square/ straight/ strong >with help of a miracle , locate a rear double frame section and stagger the rails allowing the inner rail to over lap existing truck frame inside. bolts /weld better than new. too many possibilities not knowing the project.

I totally agree with you; rear chassis welding is very important , my statement referred to it not being as sophisticated as a mid chassis weld. welding a piece of channel for a taillight is important . once again BMT is being given bare minimum of details on a question involving many particulars. not knowing experience/shop set up/ availability of parts. etc. reason for reply to a straight square cut=off might be an option. plate the section properly COULD be same as frame it self.
