umodelnut Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 It would have an 864. Dont get worried Josh, its a DM. Now, if it was a U615, you'd definetly have to worry. Nice find though. You shoulda opened the hood. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28768-out-and-about/#findComment-150373 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast you know where it is now, so you can go back and maybe save it. I looked at the picture and man, those cab mounts bring back memories. Sheesh, the look like My U models cab mounts were. Eh, goona need the torch. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28768-out-and-about/#findComment-150376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog13407 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 god dunno if i should even post this. i scrapped a DM615 about 8 years ago. fish belly frame that was junk, cab was so shot you there was no floor and we drove it around with the throttle on dash. nothin left of the hood, both fenders gone. had a pretice log loader on it and had about 250 gallons of oil leaked on the frame over the years. was a 1968 864 natural aspirated and 18 speed double over quad. Doug Fetterly has the engine and tranny. trade it to him for another engine and a B43 Mack. still have the 44 rears out of it. dont get upset haha, i dont scrap Macks unless they are too far gone. cant save em all and the parts get used to make others run.

vision386 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 "TOO FAR GONE"TomNo such thing as "too far gone" (Mack-wise) reminds me of an expression i heard someone say about Indian Motorcycles,as rare as they are,and as hard as it is to find parts,guy said "I've seen guys put together an Indian from an oil-stain on the floor!"

Maddog13407 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 trust me, these were too far gone. and were used to repower a gas job B model with the 237 and quadbox. rears on the one with 237 were scrap and so was the frame. and cab, so rotted you could have used either cab to sift sand. no windshields or doors for years, no floors. no fenders on the hood. did i mention they came from loggers? ran with NO oil in the rears or transmissions forever. the v8 ran like a champ and Doug got that for a few parts trucks. i still have the camelbacks that went with the V8. the frames on both were so welded and cut and patched and cobbed, they were totally junk so its not like we just cut them up. Remember Mike, cant save them all, and at least the good parts went to save other well deserving trucks. even the 237 was beat. we ended up puttin new heads on it cause the valves were soo worn from the jake brake .
