I’ve been in the construction business all my life,it was a family thing.Just remember dump trucks go past the curb.Once they leave the blacktop school out.By that I mean it not a smooth ride anymore.All the twisting and bending start.We had 15 79 dm600 triaxles that were built like brick shit houses never had a problem but we spec them the way we wanted.Check the frames and cross members for any cracking and splitting.As long as the motor does have excess blow by just run it.You can always do a rebuild before you put it to work.Just my 2 cents worth.I would not look at anything other then a Mack.My son sell used trucks for the the local Mack dealer here in Philadelphia,Pa.Where are you at,will tell him to keep a lookout.

If you have any left I will take one.I wish you great luck and a speedy recovery.

Is this the harness that I’m talking about?I found it in my old stock.Checked my truck and it doesn’t have the ground wire I’m talking about.

I have notice that if I leave it sit to long the batteries go dead.Going to make sure the ground is good.If that doesn’t take care of the problem then I move onto the heater switch,it seems that it shut off after about 10 minutes of running.

I have a 79 r model,and was wondering if it needed that ground wire that went from the starter to the frame?I can remember them always getting broke.Tks.Mike Durkin.

Tks.

This election was Trump’s to lose.After that first debate I started saying he was going to lose.He did a great job for the country,but his ego got the best of him.I voted for him both times,why he couldn’t just let his policy do all his talking.I truly believe he woke up every morning thinking how he could piss off the Democrats.Just by the things he was doing for this country would have been enough to piss them off.Just my 2 cents worth.The Republican are going to have to come up with one hell of a candidate for 2024.We can only hope grandpa Joe and spread eagle foul things up so bad that this country comes to it senses.

My b87 has been in the family since new,dad brought it back in 64.It was used to pull one of the lowboys,we already had a 58 b87.I started the restoration of it and got it just about done,then realized I didn’t like how it was turning out well with that said ,I pulled it back into the shop and started over.Haven’t had the time to really get it done.Here’s a picture of before I started.

Yes.

I can only hope my b87 turns out that good.

The fellow that was wearing the raccoon outfit was supposed to be a friend of Nancy pelosi son in law.There’s a picture he took of himself and the raccoon man floating around.

Do you happen to know the code #.Tks.

Which brand of paint did you use for the interior,it looks great.

That interior shot make me think of the 67 r model we had,we had it set up as our fuel truck.

Happy New Years to you Rob and everyone on this site.2021 will be better then the last.

Truck really look like it coming together.It looks great,keep the pictures coming.Both you and your husband should be quite proud of all your hard work.It really show in the quality of the work.When I get back on my b87 I’m going to do the same as you are doing taking plenty of pictures and posting them here.

Thank youFreidasBoss I know I saw that truck before just couldn’t place where I saw it.It’s been there for sometime.Maybe I will go by it tomorrow it’s only about 30-40 minutes from home.Will let everyone know if it’s for sale.

I understand the issues of owning an antique Mack, I have 2 and 1 ford along with 6 caterpillar tractors.If you don’t have the resources then maybe you can let others know the location of this truck is.Hopefully someone steps up and save her.I just can’t understand when someone keeps the location secret when they have no interest in restoring the truck for what ever reason.

I have a 1964 b87 tractor and it around 18,000-20,000.

Merry Christmas to all,2021 will be better.

My spelling was off,I did mean Kalispell.I was out there some years back and came home with a nice 56 ford f600 truck.

Any where near Kassel?My spelling may be off.

Other dog,I owe you an apology.Your boobage pictures are most welcome.Man does not live on bread alone.

Terry T,well said,let’s keep it about Big Mack Trucks.

You are making a great decision on picking up the truck.Don’t know or need to know the price,but you could probably put the old girl to work and make it back. Good luck with it,would like to see some more pictures of it.Trust me no one on this site ever get tried of looking at pictures.
