I dont know about this rating stuff...really dont care. Anyways this 6NZ Cat is by far the strongest ive ever been in but im not the driver just the owner. Power isnt whats important to me its the dollars. Maybe WATTS Mack can get me a set of intake breathers ?

Hey fellas, Im making a trade and getting out of this 625hp/4.2MPG Pete 379 EXHD. Shes a beauty but the milage is killing me. I found an 08 CHU with a MP8 with only 200,xxx miles and im making the trade next week. Ive got a Granite TriAxle with MP7 power, a late model Pete flat top, and a Freight shaker. (not to mention 4 B'!) I cant leave well enough alone and the mack looks kinda boring next to the Petes...My idea is to put some Austrailian style twin air intakes that stand tall in the air for beginers...where can i buy these things in the States? Thanks, Shawn

41~ If you dont mind can u get the contact info on the tanks skinz? I cant seem to find them on the net...Thanks in advance.

My little Granite has got some down time this winter and im thinking of paying her some attention after all her hard work. The tanks are all aluminum and im wanting them to shine....do i need to just pull them off and "wheel" them out with polish or is there a replacement tank that is more maintanence free? Im also thinking of putting dura bright alcoas and repainting the dump bed as well. I think it will make her look great! Any pics of a doll'd up granite? Thanks Guys!

Im heading up saturday to look and some old iron (and may gamble!) This is a decent show and a great area...thought id pass it along.

ok i called Mack Museum and the nice lady told me to look on the driverside wheelwell framerail. I'll be at the farm sunday and take a look.

Sounds intersting can i see some pics and possibly a price please. Thanks!

No not grease its sunday lol...hey guys, ive been looking for parts for my old dog and i guess 1st things 1st i need to know what exactly she is. I think shes a B75 maybe LT, to be for sure i need to find the VIN and i orginally thought it was on the frame just forward of the right side or left spring hanger... but no good. I need help finding this # since the cab has no tags/placards indicating. BTW i need a cab badly if anyone has an idea please let me know. Kevin at Old Mack Trucks may be my only source. currently i have located some 1 B61 tractor, 4 B81 dumps (i think) but i cant get the owner to sell me anything in my budget not to mention the cabs are marginal at best. Any help would be apprectiated

Well do you think it would be "Taboo" to pull the engine and bastardize it with the new plant or should i just give the stock plant a try? I do know she needs injector/pump work for sure and maybe rings who knows.

Hey fellas we have began the retore on the little B61 but i was curious what you guys thought of dropping a E7 mechanical 300 in her..the original seems to run great but i do have a complet E7 laying around...what s the pros and cons and the rate of difficulty thoughts and opinions please ..(oh and id be needing a transmission to mate to the E7)

Well Mr i guess the 1st thing is ~Power plant, smash box, gear ratio, hours, wheelbase, capacity (axles) any major rebuilds, location, and lets seeee one PRICE?

Hey man nice find! Good price too...i have a 1960 model about the same condtion. (For now)

Wasnt Mack Dumps (Bs i think) used in a Bruce Willis/ Sam L Jackson move when the robbers tranported gold through a tunnel/jobsite in NewYork? Was it a DieHard movie? I just remember a blue B model.

Looks great, i hope to get my old dog to that point soon.

Biggerzbetter! Man i love it, reminds me when i was a kid in Tx riding in a Eukelid(sp?) Quarry truck.

Good find!

Makes me wish id never sold the 79'R

i pulled my B61 behind the Powerstroke with nooo problems at all. The tralier was a gooseneck duall tandem and the pickup is a f250 pwerstroke 4x4. I crossed the scales a 29,000 i figure the truck near 13k

Hey fellas thanks for the warm welcome! Where is the board based out of? just curious. Im 33 and was riding "Block Trucks"(MRs MBs Rs DMs) since before i could tie a shoe. Matter a fact mom said i couldnt catch a ride one morning till i tied my own shoe thats a fact! My grandfather said "If it wasnt a it wasnt a truck" The B model im restoring was my granfathers and im finacially in a position to start working on her, she's been in a fence row for 10+ years and needed drug out, Dad asked me "what i want with that thing" i said "i needed a project" and i have a passion for old iron! My mechanic gotter runnin in less than 30 min we replaced the pods and some lines new fluids etc etc so now the bodys ready to come off. (you're updated) Thanks again for the welcome, Shawn

Thanks for the help. i'll get started tomorrow.

Hey fellas, i need help to I.D. what ive got on my hands. I'll give you the info i have and maybe you can tell me what to look for from there... I think its ayear model '63 10spd non turbo single axel tractor that was lengthned into a dump truck, twin steal tanks, best i can tell has an oversized radiator and never have seeen another one like it. BTW it a B61....i think

Just got a new (old) toy and thought i would try to educate myself on the net and meet some people, make some friends and maybe learn some things about my antique. So Howdy! my name is Shawn, im from East Tennessee and im addicted to trucks.
