    A company around here had a DM model with an Allison in it.

    Nice photos,miss the show this year.Had work and I got to do some work on the b87 so it wasn't all that bad.
  5. hicrop10
    Your truck looks great,who did the fine job?May want them to do the B87 for me.

    That's the way I feel,why have it to keep stored up in your garage and every once in awhile bring your friends over and say look what I have.You can be damm sure of it if I own it it will be out and about.Took the 79 r model out to Sam's Club and did some food shopping for the wife.

    Talked with George Sprowl just yesterday great person with all the knowledge and willing to share it with others.If anyone is looking for one of his trucks he has one in his yard that he is willing to let go.We talked about making it into a b87 front to go along with b87 I m redoing.Would love to have him do it but have to get the full size truck done first.IWe talked about just repowering an old b and up eating the power train.Like I said he's a super nice guy to talk with.

    The more I think about it,the more I'm leaning to repower a bmodel and making the bed for it.Or take the easy way out and buy one that is already done if one ever comes up for sale.

    Gray hair,I think that one with the Mack spokes is the way to go.If I do get around to doing one I think I will use short wheel base single axle tractor and go from there.Would like to use the drive line from the school bus or Cummins out of a dodge.That way the a/c will be already there.Hope there will be one at Macungie show.

    Anywhere near pa would like to see it?

    I have thought about either doing one or have George Sprowl make one up.I spoke with him a few years ago out at the Gerhart show.If I remember right he said he uses a rolling frame from a f350 and then cuts the cab down to fit.I would my truck to be able to maintain highway speeds and have thought about using the drivetrain out of a newer school bus. So my question to all of you is does anyone have a contact number for George.Second question is what do you think about using the rolling frame from a school bus?Thanks for any thoughts.

    I brought a 1956 Ford F600 from the same town,was really surprise with how well the cab held up in that cold weather it had hardly any rust.Looks like the Mack has held up well also.

    Looks like you are having way to much fun.Wish I was having that much fun.Keep it up.

    Wish I could dig up some pictures of the 1979 U's my dad brought back then.We ordered 20 r models and 15 dm600 trucks.The R's had a longer wait time then dad wanted to wait so the U's were ordered by Ryder trucking and ended up not needing them,so dad scooped them.They were a little on the lightside,they were built for the over road,we used them to pull dump trailers.

    The dash reminds me of the 66 model we had.Tough old girl.

    The last couple of washes I had the pump didn't seem to last very long.I think when this one I have now goes up I will just rent one when I need it.Looking to rent to rent a stream pressure washer now.Gotta clean the shop floor.

    I have been playing around with the idea of making an everyday driver out of one of these old macks.Thinking of changeing out the drive line for something more modern, like one out of a newer IH school bus, with an automatic transmission. Something that would give me better fuel mileage. Then making a pickup bed for it.

    My mom and dad had visited down under sometime ago and all they could say was how nice the people were and how beautiful the country was.Seems like you are you are really enjoying your self.Keep the pictures coming.

    Your truck looks great,
  22. hicrop10
    My dad brought 15 of them back in 1979.The only thing I didn't like about them were they had a rough ride.
  23. hicrop10
    We had 2 of them as tractors.
  24. hicrop10
    There's probably more plastic in the windshield wiper knob on the newer trucks then there's in the B model.
  25. hicrop10
    Where about in is this truck?Maybe if you just ask the guy what he wants for it and go from there.
