  1. My brother does do good work, nice air cleaner he made fit, carb was all gone over!…..Jack
  2. So the stamping of ratios on diffs means it was changed from 4.50 to 5.73 gears? Possibly when it was changed to be an off road truck perhaps. You are doing important stuff but cleaning up what looks to be the aluminum radiator and fender piece, will give you something to look at and think we’ll get this someday! Truck looks pretty good for the life it has lived……Jack
  3. Went for $4070, but still nice I always wanted a cab over until I found a B model open fire tractor. The bidder that got it was in it after the $ 1,000 mark, nice truck!…..Jack
  4. Three old Mack’s awaiting restoration in the company boneyard behind the body shop.
  5. Should have searched first, aluminum cab with a one piece fiberglass roof. NO, I can’t buy another truck ….Jack But , but it is neat 🤔
  6. Bids have not changed since 1/5, still at $3300, auction ends 1/23! Is that an aluminum cab???….Jack
  7. I was under the impression that the dual ignition was mainly for a redundant start in case of failure of the distributor or coil in use. Our B85F has the selector switch for A, B or both. It is a fire truck it has to start , and start right away. Our truck is not running yet but soon, guess we will have to play with that….Jack
  8. Nice start Frank! I bet it was one of those moments when the bed went up, another thing tested and good!…..Jack
  9. Thanks Mike, cool there is another one nearby. I’ve seen your truck at my boss’s (John Haines) truck shows . Perhaps you should take your own advice and play with your parents truck as is, it’s only brakes my friend, and it is still a red convertible …..Jack
  10. About time you get on here little brother, I’ve been here a long time! This all started on this forum and it is a great find , 1957 ,red convertible with a five speed , everybody’s dream! Took about hour to talk Tom into it. We are both pretty stoked that the descendants of Jack Mack own a Mack truck!…..Jack
  11. Thanks Ryan, the B-85 is in great condition ,low mileage and we are stoked about having a Mack in our family, she is a 1957 and was Boston Ladder 11.....Jack
  12. Very interested in the B85F, live in Bally ,Pa. about an hour away would like to stop and check it out today if possible, Thanks!.....Jack
