FOR SALE Good thing I don't have $20k lying around...
PalContCo replied to Green Dash's topic in Trucks for Sale
Just a beauty. My dad had a 55/56 B70 that was used virtually every working day until 1975 moving our bulldozers and loaders around NYC . Very reliable. -

gotta check this out
PalContCo replied to markpwhit's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
My dad had an AC with a a Lorain crane. Was used daily until mid 50's and as yard crane until about 1962, it was then sold to a Westchester contractor who used it on sewer jobs for several more years. -
My Dad bought three identical B63's in 1955 for his excavating company in the Bronx. Ran them hard for ten years without ant problems (very little hiway use) but great for pulling a heavy load out of 8-10 excavation sites, later swithched to B81's. Mike P.

B68 s/a?
PalContCo replied to Bigdogtrucker's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Not sure this applies but my dad purchased a new B70 s/a in 1955/56. It was used daily to move excavating equipment in the NYC are until 1974. Very reliable , never any problems (unsure of engine size but it pulled a Rogers 20 ton capacity lowboy). Mike P. -

Gerhart's Bone Yard
PalContCo replied to yarnall's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Wow a B70, not to many of those . My dad's excavating business used one to move equipment on a daily basis throughout the NYC area. I belive it was purchased new in 1955 and worked until the business was sold in 1972. Had less than 75,000 miles on it. Mike P. -
AC tool set?
PalContCo replied to 41chevy's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
If you look in the "gallery albums/Palma Contracting Co", there is a picture of my dad's Mack AC with a Lorain 37 crane. Would enjoy seeing a picture of yours. Mike P. -

Wish I had $ and room to store it. I hope it finds a good home. We had three 1956 B63's bought new in '56. Attached are 2 photos.

Mack B GVW
PalContCo replied to PanteraPilot's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
This is old information but maybe helpful. I have attached a photo taken in 1964 in New York of a 1956 B70. If you zoom in you will see the tractor weighs 12,580lbs with trailer showing a MGW of 40,000 lbs. Again old but maybe interesting. Mike P. -
