JumperAndSon Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) Hey Guys, For school, I'm doing a research report on B models. I know a good bit about B models, and a lot of the guys here are the living history of Mack Trucks, but for it to look good, I need more than just BigMackTrucks.com and MackTrucks.com to put in my sources list. If there are any other websites or books that might have good information to put in my report, please let me know.Thanks for the help,Ben Edited March 19, 2012 by JumperAndSon 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23961-need-help-with-my-research-report-on-b-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavyhauler Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Ben: The Mack Museum may be your best and authentic source of information on B models. How will you structure your report? For instance, what section titles were you thinking about?John Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23961-need-help-with-my-research-report-on-b-models/#findComment-108786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, what section titles were you thinking about?JohnI'll probably do sections like When They Were Made and Where, What Came Before and After Them, Different Models (B42, B61, B75 etc.), Drivetrains, Uses, or someting like that.Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/23961-need-help-with-my-research-report-on-b-models/#findComment-108788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyGunner Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 try the wikipedia pages on this forum, they have lots of info on there such as how many trucks were built in what years and a lot more.

daveigou Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 When you do your research, it was the Mack B models that led in the switch from gasoline to diesel power in the trucking industry, and I was always impressed by the fact that even though there were many more truck makers than there are now, there were years during the B model run that Mack had over 50% of the truck business in the US.!!!

Superdog Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 One of the best books you will find for info is Mack by John Montville.Some of these later books, unfortunately including Mack:Driven for a Century have some factual errors.
