Joe Ditchkus replied to j hancock's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Pretty sure the air cleaner is stock. My friend just bought a 8V-71 powered R-700 with that air cleaner and was told it was stock for the R-700 with 8V-71's. -
Are you sure it was not a long nose 9500 ? 114" BBC.I have James wagner's Book GMC Trucks. Nothing mentioned about a long nose 8500.A picture would be great. thanks.

.ICC regulations set standard for sleepers to be mininum of 24" wide way back when.Ebay listing of this truck was removed. I wish I got to see it. Doug Fetterly from upstate New york has a nice H-Model non sleeper heavy spec single axle.

Maybe its my old eyes but I cannot see a sun visor.

Tin on your H-67 looks pretty good. Are you selling fenders and other parts off of it ?

$140,000 new truck purchase
Joe Ditchkus replied to mojazzn's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
What are the specs on this truck ? I would think for $140,000.00 it is not heavy spec for tri-axle dump with 46,000 rears 20,000 lb front axle and most likely no lift axle.Most dump tri-axle trucks I see at 2018 prices are at least $170,000.00 + FET. These are 46 rears 20 fronts steerable 18-20,000 lb lift axle double frame,Detroit engine 13 liter or larger,Mack 405-505 HP or Cummins500 Hp. -

I have a 1970 KW 924 with Page+Page Suspension that looks like Mack Camelback it had Rockwell SRDD 44,000 drop in rears. I never saw many of this type suspension in Pa.

Jim I do not think the 409 Chevy was produced in 1959. I would think 348. Double hump heads on both.
-
Jim I do not remember for sure which engine. sorry.

The Blue Huskie picturesd is owned by some friends of mine Joe and Tom Marushin from Hazleton,Penna. area. They have a few other Brockways also not selling them though.

I have Hendrickson Haul Max on my 2005 western Star tri-axle dump 46,000lb 4.56 ratio rears.I bought truck new and it has close to 400,000 miles on itmostly hauling asphalt. I like it. Very little repairs I replaced 2 rubber blocks on one side that is it. It is stable when dumping and not an awful ride. sorry for late reply.

I bought another B Mack
Joe Ditchkus replied to Mike Stormo's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
My B-67 is the flat back cab. Same interior room as a B-61. Shifters in mine are placed right and are easy to shift.If it was a contour cab I would not fit in it. -

Joe Ditchkus replied to Mike Stormo's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Mike Stormo always remember " Spoke Wheels Rule". Nice Nice B-57 same cab tin as a B-66 or 67. I have a B-67 they have small doghouse it is not in the way in my opinion. -
4070.

I agree with Rob about what it is worth maybe a little less..The ride home is a major expense from California to the East Coast.

Happy Birthday Bob.

The IH 4090 was also called the "Turnpike Cruiser". Tackaberry from Canada brings a nicely restored one to Macungie at times.

My Dad had 2 of these with 4-53 GM Diesels 5X2 trans new were under $5,000.00. He was leased to Arco Auto Carriers at the time late 50's up to about 1966. He had 5 trucks hauling out of Kenosha Wisconsin American Motors ramblers and Studebakers out of South Bend Indiana. No Interstate 80 back then took old route 6 across Penna. They could not pull the hat off your head those trucks.
