Superdog Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 the one on front that says Mack & looks like a B model emblem,only bigger?Those aren't too hard to find,G,C and N models used the same one.I have a few extra,but would need replated.Do you have pics of the W-71?

Doug Maney Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I would say. How many W's do you see on a trailer headed to PA? I used the process of elimination. I knew it wasn't coming to my place because I haven't wrapped my deal up yet. Quote Interested in Old Trucks?

Popular Post mackdaddy Posted February 23, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2013 MikeThe Reasoner W miodel is in the big Mack collection in Australia now. I got a call from the PA guy last week about parts. That was his grandfather's truck if I remember right. I have a day cab no frame, and a few odds and ends. other than the front axle and spring hangers, a few front engine mmounts and cross member, tranny mounts, the frame is the same as an LTL 1/4" thick.The NM one you are referring to also has the big add on sleeper and ran through the 80's with big Cummins power. it was for sell. There was one as a wrecker years ago on the N Cal coast and one down in San Diego but i have not seen them in years. what happened to the one in New England that the museum had?Here is mine as it is now. I just put a fifth wheel on it this past summer. it had a long truck frame and i was hoping to find either a nice drom and trailer or period correct boxes with a pull trailer. But the years were going by and I like to drive it. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm going crazy about the second pic each time I see it.Macks are made so clean so they look like perfect scale toys!Especially with white background they were fixed.Best looking trucks of the most attractive models.I'm shure you heared lots of comments of the kind but I like to say it again.

shermentib61 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Ya that truck was originally in Pa in the 80's My Grandfather bought it from a Shop in Greensburg in 1970 The engine was blown up. He rebuilt it and Hauled stone and coal until about 1983. Then he moved to Texas, Drove it there Used it in the oil Field for a few years then eventually parked it. Its been sitting for probably 25 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermentib61 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 The truck has page&page suspension too im not sure if that was a factory option or not . Sent to mack for the original build sheets i guess ill find out soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdaddy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 That is a neat truck for sure! The sleeper is different than mine and it makes the 4th different style of sleeper I have seen on the W model. I was told that they left the factory with day cabs only and dealers arranged the sleeper additions and most were done at Able in Los Angeles? I saw one that appeard to be from the outside an integral factory sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 i'd bet it's original,I've got a '54 B61 with Page&Page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
