    that green mixer needs a dog on the hood and the whole thing sprayed with low gloss clear coat to preserve it. got nice patina

    nice pictures. that orange and black b model with the Mack logo n the door looks clean. kinda looks like those aluminum ramps weren't B81 proof....

    nice truck either way. better than new. def has a Cresci roller lift under it unless Garwood copied Cresci's lift
  4. Maddog13407
    seen the Cappello Lj at Macungie several times. its better than new. has a Heil box or something I think but has a Cresci ''Roller'' underbody hoist.
  5. Maddog13407
    yup, usually 4-6 inches ahead of center. have seen a few as much as 8-10 inches ahead of centerline, that was on a B model with a 517 front axle.

    nothing nicer than a white wheel in a mint green R model cab. what are you runnin for a tranny? most older r models have the sticks comin out under the heater with a 72 series trans.
  8. Maddog13407
    agree, that B model looks pretty salavageable
  9. Maddog13407
    I dunno just my opinion but it may be restored but the fifth wheel needs fixin if your gonna be towin anything with it, along with the fact it has juice brakes.
  10. Maddog13407
    wow that rescue truck is nice
  11. Maddog13407
    I dunno whats hotter. that B81 rolling coal or that black R model yankin' that Fruehauf bathtub

    not makin it this year. someone stop at the Macungie Pub and have a cold Yuengling or 3 for me??
  13. Maddog13407
    im thinkin 7500-8000 brand new. like they said, all in the eye of the beer holder. front wheels might come off the ground with that one someone has the fifth wheel centered on the rear axle.
  14. Maddog13407
    Mauro's old B81??? the black and red one??
  15. Maddog13407
    yup, what they said. too long for starters, produces too much torque for the little transmission and is too heavy for the tiny front axle and springs.

    not my taste, but least it didn't come back as a Prius...
  17. Maddog13407
    haha. gotta love a tight triplex. I have mastered mine but everytime i don't drive it for a month or so and get in, it reminds me its a Mack again. get a lil lazy and buzz...
  18. Maddog13407
    I don't think its a B model visor, if it is its not a lund one. mine doesn't fasten with those two holes in the center anywhere. there is a single hole on every ear and two that bolt to the windshield pillar.

    a B42 will get 3-5 mpg loaded or empty and usually went about 52mph. a few went 58 if they had overgear trannies but would take thirty football fields to get there. most B30's weren't much better but drove a few that were fast. the bigger overhead valve 464/540/707's had more grunt than a 673 and would outpull them in the mud or offroad but lke others said, would go thru gas worst than an old 477 or 534 Ford

    hawthorne doesn't run a van. don't think any do. I stayed there last year, had to give up my shady spot at the park under a tree for my truck to drive back to hotel. I didn't care tho
  21. Maddog13407
    nice truck. has a 711 in it by the looks of it cause it has the bigger air cleaner and the turbo/711 bigger radiator
  22. Maddog13407
