That truck looks pretty good in the pictures. Its a shame it is so rusty. Hopefully it has everything you need. No thermodyne emblems though. The ones I have are pitted from weather. Probably not worth shipping across the pond. Is it a B61SX? Mike

None of the trucks are mine. The ones on old 22 have been sitting there for years. I'mtold the owner would rather let them rust than sell them. The 2 north penn trucks belong to the company my father used to workk for. They shut down about 10 years ago. Now they are cleaning things up.

It always tells me they are too big, even after resizing.

I started a new album of the F Models that have been sitting in the weeds along Old 22 near Huntington, PA. They are rusting apart. The last 2 pictures are two former North Penn F700 day cabs which had V8s. The engines and transmissions were sold years ago. The trucks have been sitting and rusting for over a decade. They are headed to the scrapper. I might keep one of the cabs, just to hang on the wall. If anyone needs anything, let me know. It doesn't ever let me post pictures in the thread so I tried to post the link to the gallery below. Mike

There is a bulldog on the hood of my 1961 IH pickup brush truck. The other 3 trucks in the fire house at the time were Macks a 1947 LS, a 1949 E and a 1951 A. I guess they didn't want the poor little corn binder to feel left out. At least they didn't put an ear of corn on it. It is painted yellow though.

Tom, Looks like a good save. What happened to the whole farm full of B models? Did you end up saving them? Mike

The company I got my H613 from had and H60, 6 H61's and 3 H613's. They had several H67's also before going to F models and Brockways with the F model cab. They called the H60 the "Gut-less Bitch" because it had no power. They said it was really cold to drive in the winter. One of the brothers is on the forum. Maybe he will chime in. I'm sure there are more than 8 Mack Jr's around. Dick Best has 2, Doug Mainey has one, Fred Chase has one, Cicio has one(I think that's who owns it. It is orange like his other trucks), Eiler Bros have one and this guy in Austrailia has one. That's 7 right there. Mike

By the way it cleaned up it the pictures it doesn't look like it needs anything. Isn't an RS with a V8 a pretty rare truck for the PA. It looks great. Mike

Somerset, Pa. About half an hour east of Pittsburgh on the turnpike.

You know everyone wants a Mack Jr. because it is the smallest Mack ever made. I have seen them priced in the $100,000 range. I don't know any selling prices. Of course the Mack Jr. is a Reo with Mack name plates. The ED is considered the smallest truck ever made by Mack. I don't know the number produced. There are still some around, but not that many. I am not surprised by the $17,000 price. I wouldn't pay it, but someone might. Mike

I live in PA, so what I say might not matter. I do not have a CDL. I drove a tandem axle IH transtar to Indiana this year bobtailing. I got pulled over by an Indiana state cop while looking at my toll ticket. He thought I was texting. He asked for my license and antique registration. I gave him my regular car drivers license. He had no comments about it. He did not like that I did not have a shoulder harness. Wanted to ticket me saying every vehicle in Indiana needed a shoulder harness seat belt. That is not the case for PA. I drove a tractor trailer to the ATHS national show in Syracuse. I did not get pulled over, but if I had I bet I would have gotten a ticket for not having a CDL and pulling a flat bed. If you plan on pulling a trailer regularly you are probably safest to have a CDL. If you are not pulling a trailer I would recommend not getting a CDL and licensing the truck as an antique. You still can drive it around for fun, but it will save you a lot of money. My father has a CDL and pulls trailer frequently with his trucks with antique and classic PA tags. He has never been pulled over, but it should not be a problem if he is because he is not using the truck commercially. I called the PA DOT twice to ask if I needed a CDL. The first person said no. I should not have called the second time because they said yes. Like I said you need to follow VA law not PA. Mike

Mark, My bet is 6 volt with positve ground. That is what the 405 A that I got from you is. If you got the info from the mack museum on the truck it should tell you what the batteries were, but probably not the positive ground part. Michael
