h67st Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Found this on ebay...I'll bet it was sweet in its day. I like the polished air tanks; is that what you call an Ivy League engine? ;-]http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/B74-Mack-LWB-tractor-Project-B-series-Tandem-Diesel-/170915184557?pt=Commercial_Trucks&hash=item27cb56bfad#v4-39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmackattack Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 IT HAS Superliner tanks on it and alum rear chunks. red interior, Smells like a fire truck and miss matched parts that was used to make this truck up??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamied625 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ya this truck had to be re powered at some point and it has alot of add on also like those battery boxes right under the door doesnt look right to me. Would make a cool project though already having the diesel in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b61fred Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I don't think there's such a critter as a b74, I think its a b753. Sure looks like superliner tanks, I cant say on the rears as if they are original or not, I suppose alum. rears were available. The rear wheel spokes have 5 arms, I think they had 6 until 1964 model year. Cab is original to the b 70xx and 80xx due to the sunken floor pan on the drivers side. Ivy leage engine.. Thats comical!

BrianDzimitrowiczJr Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 so a B72 would've had the same nose as a B73 or B75 just with a 707 gas i'm assuming? Quote Brian1959 B61T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 B72 probably had the regular nose but extended fender panels. then they did away with it and used the big radiator due to overheating. yup that truck was posted on here few months ago when he said he saved it. superdog air tanks and battery boxes and tanks. newer rears, didnt think any B models had the under mounted trunion bar. thought they all had the pods that mounted outside the frame and definately wasnt a firetruck, just a bad repain job. ugh, i hate when people paint the inside of a B model and do away with the classic green. newer than 62 tho as i think they started using the radiator crossmember with only two holes starting in 63, before that they all had 5 holes across the front.

Phase 1 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 so a B72 would've had the same nose as a B73 or B75 just with a 707 gas i'm assuming?Here is Thunderdog's B-72 from a previous post. I assume they were available with a B cab too. It surprised me because I would have thought that a B-72 would look like a B-70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phase 1 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I see now the eBay listing has been changed to B-75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 There was a B at the Winchester Va show that was the same.I thought it was unusual because there was filler panels behind the fenders to move them forward and the longer hood.
