DakotaGreg Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hello, my name is Greg, I don't actually have an old truck project yet, but am looking at one, that's why I am here. The scrapyard took in an old Mack B-88 and I am trying to find out if the old beast is worth saving. It came from the coal mine at Beulah, ND, is it strictly an off road truck? It's a pretty awesome looking beast. I looked around the inside of the cab, could not find any serial number, where do I look for that info? The truck is complete except for the emblems on the hood, ran not too long ago. No rust out, has a few dents in the cab. The yard wants to get 3 grand for it and I wonder if it's worth that much to save it from getting cut up? I looked around on the internet and couldn't find any references to a B-88, it must not be a very common truck? Sorry, no picture yet, I'll try and slip over there this weekend and get a couple shots.Thanks for any help, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Mack never made a B88,it's probably a B83.Serial # is stamped on the frame,right side under front fender,look near the spring hanger.No rust,good chance of it running,yeah it's worth 3K.

DakotaGreg Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks Superdog, I looked up some pics on the net, that is what the truck is, it is missing the emblems on the hood and thru the faded paint looked like B-88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
