    R=Models were offered from factory with the Detroit Diesel 12V-71 with 852 cubic inches, not the biggest in cubic inches but close. They were pretty impressive in their day.Nice to see that 12 banger when hood opened. Joe D.

    I have a copy of the May 2003 B-Model Registry It goes from a B-50 To B-53 with no models listed in between. Joe D.

    Not the biggest Mack ever produced but the largest chain drive Mack but it will put manners on you was at Macungie about 10 years ago. It was an offset L cab owned by Gary Mahan from New Jersey. I have a picture somewhere but cannot post pictures. Joe D.

    Did Mack put the Thermodyne hood emblem on Cummins equipped B Models? I always thought it was only for Mack powered trucks. Thanks Joe Ditchkus.

    Rob Good Deal you must really be Rob Barker on the price is right.Not a lot of B- Models with turbos let alone a B-67. There was one at our ATCA Show Endless Mountains a few years ago. They really did their homework to fit that turbo in there. Joe Ditchkus.

    Anyone remember the Carolina Freight B-67's with 10 speed Roadrangers in them and the cast radiator. There was one near my garage but not there anymore. Joe D.

    Thanks for the good pictures. I was always under the impression bobbed bumpers were to save tires in fender bender accidents. Joe D.

    On the ENDT673 I have HP ratings of 205 560 lbs.of torque and 211HP and 605 lbs. of torque. No sure of the ENDT673C but I think that was 250 HP. Neither of those engines were factory in a B62 it was equipped with a EN464 gas with 170 HP and 370 lbs. of torque. Maybe someone else will have more accurate #'S for the ENDT673C Joe D.

    If you want the unladen weight of that truck I would estimate 14,000 to 15,000 pounds.GVW is weight allowed to be carried on truck. It is determined by manufacturer by combining weight ratings of axles on truck. If you want the empty weight of truck it is called unladen weight. GCW is total combined weight of truck and trailer plus load. These weights are set by manufacturer but states vary with their own weight laws.Joe D.

    I thought I was dreaming when I read this post. But even in my wildest dream I would not think that an some Macks and Brockway were avaible in that condition and mileage.I could not imagine the dollar figure they are worth. Good Luck I hope you get your price and I am sure they will go to new owners that will appreciate them. Joe D.

    I had the Reyco 4 spring on road tractorsin the 70'S and 80'S. It was OK for over the road use I would not recommend it for vocational work. It does not articulate as a walking beam or camelback does.It also does not evenly spread weight on tandems as well. It is relatively less expensive to fix if need be. I would buy truck with proper suspension for job. Joe D.

    Barry.Thanks for pictures.I hope your wish to purchase one of them comes true. Do you know what kind of Quadbox was used in them? It must be a heavier one than standard to handle torque of 475 HP.Copuld it possibly be a married Spicer Box they used? Anyway Good luck on your endeavors. Joe D.

    Barry. I run 315-80R22.5 on front and steerable lift axle in Penna. They are rated at 9000 lbs. apiece. I ran in the past 425'S and never had a kingpin problem. That is my experience anyway.If you do not run proper size tire and get axle weighed you will have a problem.LOL. Joe D.

    Sorry i put this post in wrong place.
  20. Joe Ditchkus
    Barry I live in Pennsylvania. In order to get legal weight on front axle of my tri-axle dump I run 315-80R22.5 on the front and lift axle not exactly super singles.They are rated for 9,000 lbs. apiece. I ran 425's in the past and never had a kingpin problem. I never heard of anyone having kingpin problems with the wide base tires and rims. That is not to say it is not possible. I do know if you do not run them and get axle weighed you will have a problem.LOL. Joe D.

    Matt Try John Chalmers in Cashtown,Penna. He is located west of York,Penna. on Rt. 30 i think. I bought some A Model Mack parts from him he might have some of what you need as the E model and A model were very similar cabs. Are you still in Stroudsburg I am about 40 miles from there in Mount Cobb. Joe D.

    I live about one mile from the Mack Brothers Homestead. It is now a new housinf development called Mack estates.Ilived in this area most of my life 58 years old I prefer the old Mount Cobb. Joe D.

    As Doug said it has the look of an orville sleeper the side window looks like their trademark. I worked out of Dundalk Marine Terminal (Baltimore, Maryland) with a Sonny Womack had similar factory looking integral sleeper on a R-600 Mack 673 with a Duplex. Joe D.

    There are about 3 Brockways on Ebay now but prices are about $5,000.00 or better.On the Brockway site there were some Brocks for sale under $2,000.00 I do notknow if still avaible. The price of scrap in the last year got rid of a lot of old iron. Joe D.
