paul roncetti Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hi Vinny, Ideas on how to find one, they were concentrated in the NYC area because of the short wheelbase which I dint not realize were built till I saw them on the New York Construction Trucks topic on this site the day before this one came toi my attention. Thanks, Paul Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I dont really know where you can find one. Watch east coast/ New York Craigslists. Heres a couple. This ones perfect but its a 73'.http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/3261090785.htmlhttp://oneonta.craigslist.org/cto/3300219491.html This ones absolutely perfect!!!! Except she needs a little TLC. Its a 1967 DM809SX-1429 673 and a Quad box. Its on one of my local Craigslist, but I dont know where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 the Red one from the oneonta craigslist is a local truck to me. use to be around Ft Plain Ny. guy use to have about 10-15 Macks. all heavy spec, R models, DM's and a U model or two and one heavy black B81SX. use to be right up the road then they all dissappeared. the B81 was on craigslist a while back but i think they scrapped a few to and the guy went out of business. All were heavy spec short trucks with plow frames at one time and all had heavy price tags on them. one of those he wants this much for it and settles for half what he wants from the junk man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul roncetti Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi Vinny, Thank you for the effort, I have spoken with both owners a few weeks ago. The red one has been used very hard according to the owner and would need a good amount of coinage dumped into it. Spoke, with the blue owner but has the 5 speed w/ Maxidyne engine. Maybe I am expecting too much after seeing the Long Island one I posted above, not so much as the fact the tires were 90% and the price was 5 grand, but moreso that it was a truck you would drive home, back into a garage and just have to dust it off occationaly, don't think they knew what they had............Paul Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul roncetti Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Hi Vinny, Another in MA but has a Fuller in it http://eastmillbury.americanlisted.com/all-categories/1970+mack+dm800/ Quote RONCETTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 PB Blaster- best penetrating oil ever made in my opinion,it really works. I keep a can or 2 in the truck all the time. I spray my strap winches with it periodically too.I'll second that motion. I would not be getting anywhere on the B Model if I had another brand. This PB Blaster is the BEST STUFF YET . It also makes a good flame thrower if you like fires.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
