Haven't you ever noticed that most U pics are of the passenger side, hiding the kickstand and 12 large leaning men holding it upright! -

I am 32 as well. Growing up in Northeastern Nevada I was never exposed to Macks. My dads highschool buddy has a trucking company and he always ran KW's. I have loved the look of the 359 and 379 since I was about 4 years old. I had always heard of Macks, I just never saw them, other than toys. I started looking at the B73 I now own about 8 years ago. When I first saw it I was hooked on the B's. Since then I have grown to love the L's, R's, and Superliner to name a few. I am doing my part to keep Macks going even after a late start. Ben -
No Boat Ride for this One
dover replied to Superdog's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I believe I see an L in the background as well! In all my travels around this side of the country I've only seen a tenth of what you have in your collection. Ben -
I emailed my info about a week ago. They told me it would most likely be 8 weeks. I can't complain, it would take me a lifetime to find half the info they will provide. Ben

I love it, keep the progrees pics coming. They are great motivation to get my butt in gear. At first glance it appears your frame is magically floating in mid air!!!! Ben

Welcome, What part of the country are you from?

I like th emower set up on the A. I wish we had the show selection here in the West that you have in the Midwest and East. We have a classic car show next week, but the biggest thing there is an early 70's 3/4 ton Ford. My goal is to have the B73 in "Project" form for next years show. Ben

As were B77's As were B77's

I do remember seeing it before. Looking at the additional ebay pics it definately looks like a nice truck, just not a 15k+ truck to me.

http://madison.craig...3185564392.html I didn't know the B73 was a rare truck. I like it, but don't think I would pay that much for it.

The Backhoes Here!
dover replied to umodelnut's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I grew up on Deere controls. The newer Cats have a switch to change from Cat to Deere. Every once in a while I'll switch to Cat style just to shake all the rocks of the frame. Man they are bass ackwards after running a Deere. I can run the case four stick with footswing a hell of a lot quicker than the Cat setup. Good luck with the cab. I've spent the last four months getting the 12v starter switched in for the 24v. I wish I was moving even 1/10th the speed you are! -
It took me two times, but it opened.

I love it -
I'm sure I'll get slaughtered for saying this, but I have loved the look of the 359 and 379 Petes since I was about 3 years old. I was never exposed to many of the classic Macks until later in life. I think the reason I like that LTL is it mixes the old mack look with the Pete look. Ok, now let the lashing begin!

Welcome to the site. Its a learning process for most of us. What model of B is it?
-
I think its an L of some kind. I love the look of a B7 whatever with an L cab, but I might like that model of L just as much.
-
The cab is so lopsided on it that it must be a double U W model!
-
Glad you saved it from the exporter, I'm sure someone in "The States" is willing to spend the time to make it a respectable rig!

Are you kidding me??? That show is grrrrreat! Ben

Stuff Done on The U Model:

You just need the right roads! -
I've seen that truck before. I think it something for Olive or Rob or someone a few months back. I think he is a member on here????
-
Welcome to the site. Thats a nice looking truck. I love the pics, but you will soon find out we like lots of pics, so post more please. Ben

KidNV, I would still like to take a peek at the B73. If I could find a cheap ride across the state for it I might be able to swing 1500. My B73 is complete but could use someparts in better condition. I'll send you a PM with some contact info. Ben

How far south of Carson City is everything? I am coming to South Tahoe with the wife tomorrow. I was planning on coming back down to Carson Monday to visit a friend while the wife is at her conferance. I could use some pieces of the B73. Ben
