Yoos Brothers Construction Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 My Dad and I went to look at few lowboys last week end and I found this in the yard we were at. I also found out the guy has a BCR that I'm going to try and get. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29532-oh-vinny-i-found-you-another-u-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yoos Brothers Construction Posted January 20, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2013 Here's the BCR. It was a twin screw when it was new but someone made it a single axle(they did use an old mack rear though). It's got a 237 with a 5 + 2 tranny. I've been looking for one of these for a while now. Actually I looked at this truck about 10 years ago but I didn't relise it was a BCR at the time because I didn't know what one was back then.

farmer52 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Pleading ignorance (which is not hard to do most of the time)....what is the purpose of a BCR? If I understand the nomenclature...a B chassis with a R cab and hood? Was this a factory setup? 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29532-oh-vinny-i-found-you-another-u-model/#findComment-158904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
39 Baby Mack Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Ken This was a special kit sold by the Mack Co. in the late sixties, so you could take a tired old "B" model and upgrade your truck to a new style "R" model.The brochure showed pictures of before and after of an old "B" model.An inexpensive way to upgrade your old truck.Brochure stated that you could go from the "B" to the "R" in something like 40 hours!!Ron Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29532-oh-vinny-i-found-you-another-u-model/#findComment-158907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

57 bcr Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 No sweat,Ron! Not only was it sold as kind of a "Glider Kit",but MACK had run out of assembled B cabs quicker than expected,and had to offer something as a replacement! Thats just what I heard-you know how that goes!! Could be on "Ripley's Believe it or Not",I guess?
