jaysm35a2 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Scrap price , honestly but thats only my opinion. Looks like you have some good parts on them you could sell some guys on here before , or if at all , you decide to scrap them. The B61 and R700 look the bestP.S. Welcome to the forum! You found the right place to be! Where ya from ?

Superdog Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Most would say scrap price,and basically that's true.But a wise man would set them aside out of the way and save them.At the sickening rate old trucks have been scrapped as of late,those old junkers will look pretty good to someone looking for parts or projects in the near future.

umodelnut Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Welcome to the jungleThat blue R model has a long hood on it. or in the pic it looks unusually long. It has the long hood because it's an R700.

fifth wheel Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 What are they worth?

Mike Bown Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have been reading everyone's responses and I really appreciate it. Some are saying scrap and some say sell parts, I am very new to this....not CARS but these trucks in general. It is very awesome to know people like you know so much about these vehicles. So just anyone else help me make a decision on what i should do with these in order to make the most money thanks Mike.

Olivetroad Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Most importantly - where are you and the trucks located? That might get a buyer for your stuff on here if they live close to you.

Shawn Barrett Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is an old thread but it has to be said......I cant believe the first reaction ON THIS FORUM was SCRAP!!!!! WTF!?

Superdog Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is an old thread but it has to be said......I cant believe the first reaction ON THIS FORUM was SCRAP!!!!! WTF!?I don't think anyone meant they should be scrapped,but for the condition of the above mentioned trucks a fair price would be scrap value,which nowadays is pretty high.Most of the 140+ Macks that I own I purchased for scrap value or less,back in the days when the going rate was $20 to 50/ton.Pretty hard for most of us to afford to save trucks like the above when scrap is $200+/ton.Don't get me wrong,they should be saved.In my eyes,scrapping a Mack,no matter how bad,should be a capital offense.In a perfect world,owners of trucks such as these,rough,rusty,incomplete,and non running, that wanted rid of them should offer them to collectors at a much discounted rate knowing that some good would come out of them,be it parts or just to be saved as is,but unfortunately the buck is more important than the Bulldog to some.

Im sorry, I saw B-models and someone mentioned scrap.....it doesnt sit well with me seeing the words Mack and scrap in the same sentence. Ive seen too much of that crap- in pursuit of the almighty buck. You are right, fair price to resell. Just wonder what happened to this cat and his trucks after all......

ThaddeusW Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is an old thread but it has to be said......I cant believe the first reaction ON THIS FORUM was SCRAP!!!!! WTF!?No no no, scap is referring to the price of a whole truck if someone were interested in buying the whole vehicle. Buying a Mack by the pound so to speak.

Superdog Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I agree totally,it don't sit well with me at all.Scrapping of Macks should be punished by suffering from a plague of red oval shaped boils over the offenders entire body.
