Barry Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 A little bridie has told me that there is going to be a B61 featured on CMT's 'Trick My Truck' in the near future! Of course Watt's & BMT are going to be involved and we will keep you posted as details develop, but that is all I can say right now!

Some of the trucks they have done have been nice, but most of them have too much dumb gimicky stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris88 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 If it stays spoke wheels, one single 4 inch or so stack and not too much chrome it will look good, but chances are with what i have seen on that show it will have fancy budd wheels, 2 10 inch stacks and it will be shiny enough to make ray charles squint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I could not agree more, I hope the boys at trash my truck know what an ICON that the B-Model MACK is to everyone who knows anything about trucks.

No matter what they do to it...it is good PR for Mack and the antique truck hobby! Besides...they seem to be interested in all original parts so far!

Lmackattack Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 its a TV show so they will build a flashy truck to suit the majority of the public to the "WOW factor"Regardless its a mack and its going to be shown with respect (hopefully!!!)

Barry Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 Berry,So has this B mack truck episode been built and filmed already ?No, We are still packing up a boatload of parts to ship to Allentown. From what I understand, Mack is donating the parts to the show. I should have more details soon.

Freightrain Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Funny..........I haven't heard from anyone about when they are going to come pick my truck up?? LOL!!!!Ya, I hope they do a resto NOT a pimpmyride version. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Supertrucker Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Guys, I gotta say that I actually like alot of the stuff they do. Granted, some of it is sort of gimicky and a little like Pimp My Ride, but at least it is going towards good hard working drivers who just don't have the money to feed their family and keep up their trucks. I liked some of the earlier shows when it debuted a little better, but I hope they treat that B right. Most of the trucks done have been either Peterbilts, Freightliners, or KW's so it's nice to finally have a Mack in the line.

Mack 3P Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 It seems like they are going to try to give the truck some modern features. Engineering has been contacted for help.I hope the truck comes to Allentown when it's done so I can get a good look.I love the part of the show when the take the truck from the driver, the acting is great.

Barry Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 3P, maybe you can put your ear to the ground and see when they are doing the truck? I still haven't got a confirmed date...

mackmixer Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Well, they "dolled her up." I can't say that I like the color, but she definitely looks "sharper". No pictures of the engine. Quote David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I don't think they did too bad,considering some of the God-awful things they've done to other trucks.Although,really,I think it looked pretty good before,just needed a good clean up.

NoClueJoe66 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 I'm just glad to finally see a real piece of equipment on there. Don't get me wrong pete's, freighshakers, and binders are all right, but I was starting to get uninterested. Did you guys see the pictures on their site for the cabover international? Not bad for a cabover, but it was time to go different in my opinion. JOE Quote This message was brought to you by Hargraves Potted Meat Product.

Freightrain Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Not bad. They could have done worse LOL!I'm not much into purple, but it looks pretty tastefully done.Have to agree, there was not much wrong with the truck to begin with. Compared to the way they present the late model stuff(ducktape holding stuff together), that truck was pristine! Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Barry Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm kinda stumped! I sent them a shell and emblems for a B61...but that clearly is not a B61??
