yup. if he wants to Demack one, i could trade or sell him a few mutts i have for that pristine one!

omg is that thing nice and original and sweet. dont put a RR in her or cobify her! she will cry. i cannot for the life of me see that thing only doing 45 MPH with an overdrive triplex unless it had about an 8.49 ratio rear end

i like the rear end in the B model pick up picture myself..

they will bolt up. not sayin its right, but they should bolt up.

not that uncommon to buy trucks and never use them. Sears Oil in Rome Ny use to buy B models and Brockways in batches and put sveral away in hangers. the owner thought he would be ahead of the game 5 or 10 years down the road when the price of a new truck went up and he had these all paid for but when they took them out of hibernation the weight laws changed, he ahd to add tag axles to the single axles and no one wanted to drive an underpowered B model or 318 in the late 70's or early 80's when they were obsolete. they had an auction a few years ago and got rid of all the junk(they went out of real business in 1994). rumor has it they have a batch of brand new R models stashed somewhere but they have never surfaced

every camelback i ever drove rode rough empty 34 38 and 44's. its your truck, do what you want but i wouldnt be stickin 34 springs with 44 housings.

pretty sure the green one has a 350 mechanical in it with the pump turned up. i think Dick Lang Diesel was doin his pumps in Binghamton Ny when years ago.

god Vinny is gonna cream over that nice CHROME U600 emblem. wish i could find me an R600 emblem NOS

thanks. ill pay ya for it. maybe some money twards a new engine?

yup. have watched that B model pull many many times. i like in the one video where they are bustin his balls and the announcer goes ''lets see how this 50 year old technology or whatever holds up to the new stuff'' he then pulls the sled right on down the track and right thru the fence. take that haha

they made the smaller wheel for the small column or the big column.the smaller wheel for the big column is rare. i have one and will probably bring it to Macungie to sell

sorry to hear that. a 237 will be fine with a quadbox as long as you have a fresh clutch and pressure plate and dont hotrod it. dont junk the old bullitt yet. i may need some parts haha

id say thats original miles on that truck. if it was 120000 on a flathead gasser it would be on its third engine and they would prolly have parked it by then. the fender rot and the rest of the truck in nice shape leads me to believe it was a municipality truck or like someone said an airport service truck or maybe at a university or college back in the day? not all beat up with did see a little salt to rot the fender

dont know really. msot were green, the smaller trucks B20, B30 and some B42's with the small column has black wheels, my great grandfathers 1955 B62SX had a big column and a black wheel. my B613 and Doug Fetterlys both have a beige colored wheel. the one replacement wheel on one of our B42's Mack replaced back in the 1960's with a really light colored beige wheel. its a mystery to me. i have seen green, red, black, light beige and dark beige

?? looks like 2 B61's to me, both look savaeble or make one out of two

nice pics , the LTL and the Noel Gray trucks are sweet. i notice on the BCR the lip on the side of the fender/hood wraps all the way around to the cowl. what years did the R model hoods do this? i have seen some with this lip and some without

id stick with the 44 housings with the 44 springs. why would anyone wanna change them around? the weight you save will only be a few pounds and why bother period? you have 44's and thats it. any camelback rides horrible empty anyways and there wont be that much of a weight savings to even matter. not only that if you change to 38 springs on 44 housings and you break one, you will wish you left it alone. not only that but the door tag is probably stamped with 44's and if you change shit around it wont be legal anymore

sweet. never seen a small beige wheel like that. most all B20 and B30's i have seen with the small wheel were black

and drop visor that covers 1/2 the windshield, a bug deflector that covers the other half and some asshole that has to use full jake at everyone he passes thru town running EMPTY

guess they liked B42 gas jobs. must not have seen many hills but the again people were courteous and didnt care if you were holdin up traffic. i remember my grandfather tellin me about haulin coal out of Pa to Ny with B42's. said there would be 40 cars behind you on hills but back then people didnt care as they figures you were bringin revenue to their area.

amazes me how many people cut these things up and have no clue at all about the collector market or people probably willin to pay more than scrap for good parts.

nice truck, kinda even like the paint, a B42 none the less

forgot the most important parts... wear flip flops, boxing shorts and drive a PLAIN WHITE boring truck

have not seen many B models that actually still had the rubber in that back hanger. you could use a metal sawsall blade and cut on both sides of the spring/rubber . this way you can get the spring out , and remove the hanger from frame, put it in a press, heat the hanger and press the cut pieces out of the hanger.

could be a lanova in that a model. looks like an early pre 1958 673 to me with an aluminum intake
