Popular Post Terry T Posted June 28, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2013 Well sadly I just sold my 1964 B Model Mack. This truck meant a lot to me. As a teenager I lot drove this truck and my dad & late father-in-law also drove this truck for Parrish Leasing. It was ordered new for E.W. Bohren of Woodburn, IN then traded to Meek Mack of Ft Wayne and Don Parrish Sr of Parrish Truck Rental purchased the truck and it remained with that company until I purchased it. Mike H. bought my F Model from me a couple years back and I sold my Fleetstar to a gentleman in Rochester, IN to use to pull his trailer with antique Farmall's and now a gentleman out of Warsaw, IN purchased this unit. I'm just glad nothing had to go to scrap. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Terry T Posted June 28, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2013 The trucks of my adolescent & teen years were IHC 4070 & 4070B's, Mack Cruiseliners & MH613's. Can also throw in Fleetstars (already owned one), R's & I drove U's as well. A friend of mine has a 4070B with an 8V92/10Speed that is close to what I'd like, I'd want to swap it out to a 13 as that is what our 4070B's had. Mike H already has a Cruiseliner that I'd like to have, but I don't think I can talk him into parting with it.1st couple pics are Aaron's 4070B & Mike's Cruiseliner then some of our 4070's, U's & R's & an MH613. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry T Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 where was the box company out of Terry? my cousin has a white R that looks about identical to one of the ones in the last pic. his is an 88 with a 300 and 5 speed and is about mint. came from a cardboard and box company out of New Hampshire.The company at the time was called Wabash Fibre Box and was located in Ft Wayne, IN. When we won the lease we bought out the other leasing companies 671/10 speed powered Fleetstars and provided them with 300/5speed R Models. I believe we renewed twice with them which means 3 sets of trucks. This was the 1st group and the 3 group was some of the last R's that Parrish Leasing ordered before they went to CH612's.

bulldog man Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Terry Hate to hear bout your B Model . But glad he found a good home . I went through something similar a few years ago w/ my namesake & dads ole B Model . But in the long run a local farmer & buddy of mine saved "old dog" From the scrap yard & has him to put under his lowboy trailer to move his dozer from from the farm to the different fields he has .
