Rob Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Funny thing about this truck is I tried several times to purchase it back when I was dating "Momma". Shame to see it like this. I was gonna give $1750.00 for it then, and it ran and drove well.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1963-Mack-model-B-Tractor-/270873235221?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item3f114d8f15Rob 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Rob Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 What a low offer when it was new ha ha.I do like he said it would be good for parts or to restore... holy crap , restore ?He wanted double what I was willing to pay in 1977 dollars! It never has gone lower than "unrealistic".It really was a nice truck back then and I remember it working as a secondary due to age at the time.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mike Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 What would be neat is Rob buy it still and pay the same price but attach it end to end on one of his other B models. So when he goes to get the mail at the end of his driveway all he would do is drive the other Mack back home since it still has fuel tanks. I'll have to see if Otherdog will sign me up for his painting classes so I can post his famous art paintings.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22081-parts-b61/#findComment-93843 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a B61T. Did not have the original engine but was a duplex.

If we do I'll run by and snap a few photos. I used to deliver fireplaces to a vendor in Decatur, (I lived in Springfield) weekly and really wanted that B model at the time.
