hurstL78

around six years

looks real, great job

that is one sharp looking B!!!

that is cool

you'll have to get a pretty sharp looking B-model to match the tow vehicle

that is a cool looking trailer,but that truck needs a BIG trailer p.s. sharp truck for a KW (cough cough)

we didn't restore this truck,my grandpa wasn't up yo the task of tackling it due to the fact I was in the process of restoring a '55 chevrolet,my uncle is working 16 to 18 hours a day,and my grandpa is just too old to do it himself so he took it to some guys in texas,it sure passed my approval thanks, Van

IMO if there was a better look than the factory look,they would have put it on at the factory.can't beat original the look,on anything,just my .02cents

where were you going on that road?do you live around there

will get some better pics when it warms up

just got home with this truck from a restoration shop in Texas.stretched frame to fit a polished aluminum roll-back body,has six new Alcoas to go to go all the way around.It has an R-model engine(673 I think but not sure)fuller transmission,peterbilt rear suspension with air ride,two air ride seats,A/C,& tilt wheel interior

I agree,I will probably be sitting here rereading old posts until the game goes off and I can watch normal programming again "Super-Liner Bowl" I always said mack owners are a different breed,me included

great looking old tractors Van

myself,I've never saw an ugly Mack!!! Van

I don't drive a truck,just mechanic,but my company does require us to have a CDL,I love driving trucks,I think it is something that you are born with the talent to do(like sports)some people are naturals and others have a hard time catching on.I would say I'm a rookie,but being the fourth generation in a family of truck drivers I guess it is just in my blood.Some people just don't have the passion for trucks or the passion to learn about them like others,to some people its more than a job its a way of life.I think that is a true Trucker.Hope I didn't vere too far off the thread. Van

go figure,I didn't like drifting because I thought it was just for import cars,man was I wrong

when I bought my truck (s/a B61) my friend hauled it home for me with his goose neck trailer behind a Powerstroke dually,& you couldn't tell the truck was behind us,I don't know the exact size of the trailer,but I can find out some more info,& the towing capacity of it if you would like Van

thanks Trent for the helpful information,sent that out today p.s. great looking old R

just wanted to introduce myself,my name is Van Hurst,and I live Jeffersonville,Ky.I just bought my first b model yesterday and I will probably be looking for you guys to help me along because I don't really know alot about these old trucks,I am a diesel mechanic by trade but haven't been around alot of trucks older than the 80's.I am into restoring old muscle cars for my hobby,but have always been fascinated with old macks.I bought a 1955 B61 mack,that is really all I know about it right now,Iwill probably get the truck home around tuesday,and by then I wil have plenty of questions thanks
