    Magnetic sensor may be dead.

    It is a Garrison set up but don't have a model number. It was on a B-67 and moved it over to the B-75.

    Fine looking kennel!

    Yup. Swiped this picture from "Out behind the Barn". You can see the box mounted to the axle with the steering shaft and the fluid lines.

    Have a safe trip. Sure will be a lot of candy to look at in IA.

    I have a fluid power assist on my B75. On rough roads, it can sometimes feel a little twitchy. Have an air assist on a Brockway it seems to do OK. There is an air switch so air can be shut off while going down the highway and then flipped on for tight stuff. Matt Pfahl has an early Superliner axle with the integral mounted steering box on his B-61. Never asked about it but it has been that way for probably 10 years so it must go OK.

    He is not out to lunch. But he has stopped off somewhere for a coffee and doughnut. Sure would look nice behind a DM and hold some go go juice for his mowers.

    Using the truck's VIN, a Mack dealer can tell you if the part number is still available and get you back in business. If it is NLA, try Atro. Click link. http://www.torque-rod.com/

    Three sticks are out there. Two stick Mack duplex, triplex or quad box transmission and then just add another stick for the brownie. There will be no specific Mack model or years of production other than back when truck manufacturers would build whatever the customer wanted.

    Time for a pump rebuild or new pump.

    A pair of iconic R models and a pair of every popular Superliners plus a Mack LTH.

    The milk truck was originally purchased by Manchester Dairy System in Manchester, NH. They bought two at the same time but the other one does not exist anymore from what I have gathered. The B75 was bought new by Crystal Motor Express in MA north of Boston as a tractor. I got it as a basket case and stretched it out and made it into a tandem It will never be done but I will get it close. It also won't be perfect because than I wouldn't want to use it. A 1986 LTL was next to the B75. It had spent most of its life in VT but is now in MA. The LTL was finished just a week or two before the show and is done very well.

    Trolling around the web and found this green and rust milk truck. It was listed as being in GA so it may be the one that Paul had seen previously. The gray one on the trailer is the one I believe is now in NJ. I thought I had a picture of the one in MA which had been owned by BMT member 39 Baby Mack family and then the one that I have. All the trucks seem to have different brand bodies as common procedure in this time frame would have been to buy an incomplete cowl and chassis from a manufacturer and then have a separate body company finish it out to your specs.

    Thanks all! Nice day at the show. The dash plaque was just plain old luck. My name was drawn out of a hat at our chapter's fall potluck meal and meeting. Matt, I will send the WOW back to you because the B-73 is looking excellent in your restoration thread!

    Nice sheet metal work..... a few bucks. Keeping mama happy....... priceless.

    And had a great time!

    The R must mean race considering the size of the two air cleaners mounted to the cab. It would look great in my driveway.

    Best thing to do to is take pictures of Mack's whenever or wherever you see them.
  20. j hancock
    That is the same truck.

    The Hall of Fame Museum is off 385 in eastern CT. The Golden Age of Trucking Museum started by Richard Guerrara was on the north side of 84 in Middlebury, CT at exit 16. There was lots of good stuff but the museum lost the driving force when Richard passed away and it was disbanded by the family.

    Looks Fantastic! Was this truck at one time owned by Meadowood Fire Department in NH as their muster truck?

    Always liked early Falcons.
