Milaca Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 This truck is for sale about 50 miles away from me. One of my favorite truck models (love that L model cab and big chrome grill). How much do you think/feel this truck is worth? Looks like it's been sitting a while judging by the photos.Here is what the ad says:262 cummins, 220 turbo quad with a 3 way transmission10 vent aluminum wheels, Camel back read suspension.New batteries runs!!! What do they mean by "read suspension"? Do they mean 'road' suspension, as in it is not made for off-highway use? I thought all Camel-back suspensions were good for off-highway use. What is a "220 turbo quad"? Is it a 262 Cummins with a turbo from a 220 Cummins? I assume the quad refers to a 4 main & a 3 speed auxillary transmission, but I thought a 5 speed was always used in these applications. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28352-1964-mack-b755-for-sale-what-is-it-worth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

smorse54 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 What a gorgeous truck! Shouldn't a B-755 be a V-8? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28352-1964-mack-b755-for-sale-what-is-it-worth/#findComment-146112 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milaca Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 No opinions on what it might be worth? The fella is asking $6500 for it. Seems a bit high to me (I only paid scrap metal price for my C600), but what do you fellas think?

Superdog Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 if it runs as good as it looks,no frame issues,yeah,it's worth that.the thing you got going for you is the transport costs would be cheap.too bad it doesn't have the V8 still in it,I'd be all over it.

Milaca Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 I just did some research and thanks to a previous posting by Superdog, I learned that the B-755 came with a Mack 864 V8 engine and was available with your choice of B cab or L cab. So, I assume this truck is less valuable for having a Cummins transplant (I also learned that a 262 is simply a typical 220 with the addition of a turbo) but I assume that the L cab option is very rare. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28352-1964-mack-b755-for-sale-what-is-it-worth/#findComment-146133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 not really,there were several L cab B models built,and quite a few have survived,you seem to see alot more L cab B 70 series trucks at shows the the B cab ones.

Vladislav Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Good find on my mind.I'm not a great fan of B61 although that L model cab with big chromed front make it attractive.Shure if it have original Mack V8 it's more and more interesting.Does anybody know about the steering wheel came from?

tilynb61 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I live a few miles from the shop the truck is located and checked it out a while back. Its a pretty nice truck, cab and hood do have a bit of rust bubbling but no holes. Tires and frame look good. I think the pics in the ad may be from a while back, truck has been sitting for a while. engine runs good, didn't drive it though. If it was a bit cheaper I would buy it, but don't really have the room with the 58 I have in the driveway already. I work for Cummins but I too wish it still had the V8 Mack.

220cummins Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 262 cummins were 220 cummins with a turbo kit put on. My dad added this kit to his transplanted cummins in '62 G-75 Cabover. He later got rid of the triplex, single axle/tag axle and replaced them with a 14spd quad and 38k camelbacks from a F model. He said with the 262 kit it would outrun new 335 cummins pulling Green Tree hill coming out of Pittsburgh on the "parkway" now called I-376. He loved this truck. He wishes he never sold it and always talks about it... That's why my name is "220cummins" on this board.

james j neiweem Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Wasn't the iron lumg cummins with the super charger also 262 horsepower. Never heard one but that is supposed to be one mean sounding engine according to other posts on this site. Nothing better than that B-73/75 front grill.

tilynb61 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I think it is still for sale. It is sitting at a truck repair shop with a for sale sign in it as of yesterday at least. East Central Diesel in East Bethel Mn if anyone interested.
