Popular Post jackb61sx Posted December 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2012 hello everyone,Just joined your site and have enjoyed reading your posts and friendly advice from all. As for me I just aquired my first truck and one I have always wanted an 89 Super Liner, she has aged well and look forward to restoring it over time. I also own with my father a 1965 B-61SX that was a 10 year ground up restoration, every thing on that truck was restored from front to back and ground up, this truck is also a tractor like the Super Liner. I look forward to reading the many posts here and adding pics of my truck as we move forward. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28908-new-to-group-from-ma/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb61sx Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thanks for all the comments on our trucks, The B-61sx was a true labor of love for my father, that truck is a tripple rail and it had to be all dismantled to remove the rust that had formed between the rails, the cab was fully restored and all new interior pieces added as needed, we redid all the gauges and the motor was rebuilt its a 673C I believe. All the work was done in his shop with only the paint work being done outside. This truck we are just the 4th owners of her and she was sold by then Lawrence Mack, and restored with parts from Watt's Mack including new wiring harness thankyou. The Super Liner was the one Joseph was selling, he got it from Brillo ( Cappello Trucking) who took very good care of the truck, right now only major thing to do on it is paint the frame and repair some rust spots on the passenger door. I runs great so far with the 425 cat in it, just removed all the lettering off the doors this weekend and aside for the minor tinkering in great shape for 24 yr old truck. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28908-new-to-group-from-ma/#findComment-151865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Welcome from Bolton MA. I do believe I met your dad at the Hudson show a year or two ago. I believe I have his card somewhere.
