mowerman Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 wow,,,certainly a hefty s.o.b. very interesting i think its just a very rare offroad model..bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Being a former crane carrier chassis I can see the modifications to allow better vision during transport. B series trucks weren't the easiest thing to see out of, (my opinion) especially to up and sides.The fenders? Could be for easier standing access to grease the boom and sheaves but I have no idea.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

41chevy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Sure is different, looks like a CCC cab top grafted on. Odd look but nice job.

Olivetroad Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Check out the other items the guy has listed on ebay, he also has a pretty straight old Ford pickup and a old Dodge pickup and a set of three Nova's in a package deal. He is about 4 hours from me, I put a bid on the Mack to keep it from being scrapped, I have no idea what his reserve is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm thinking too it's been modified by the crane people, as I don't think anyone in their right mind would go through all that for no real reason. It even states the back of the cab is grafted on. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Probably done when it was just a truck....heck I ran a 57 Pontiac Safari in a demo derby in 1973, it was just an old station wagon then.

Olivetroad Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I just bought this goofy thing on ebay. The guy said it is a B model and the title shows it to be a 1952. But I hear that the first B models came out in 1953? He is supposed to send me a photo of the door plate.The guy said the crane company put the fenders on and it was open in the back of the cab so you could exit the cab from between the seats and get into the crane.Once I get it home, I will post some pics.

Also David you should send the Mack museum a letter with the serial number to get the build sheets and history of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivetroad Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I just talked to the guy and it now is buried under a butt load of snow. But I have been anxious to see the door plate to know what model it really is. He is supposed to "brave" the weather in his words and get me a picIs a butt load more or less than a shit load?

Olivetroad Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 neither compares to "ass deep to a tall Indian on horseback"Now that is the deepest -The guy emailed me a photo of the door plate - it reads it is a model B61ST - serial number 20822I wonder if the door is original or if it was grafted on as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 That would put it at around 1958,no doubt the title has a typo or the crane itself was a '52,hard to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
