Popular Post Rodney Woody Posted September 2, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2013 Want to introduce myself, my name is Rod, and I'm new to the site. I am from Conover, NC and I recently purchased my 1st vintage Mack. I’m not a trucker by trade, I’m a Logistics (Maintenance) Officer (21 years) in the Army, so I appreciate chats and forums about old trucks. I’ve found many questions I've had concerning my new truck and want to say thanks.My wife and I recently purchased a (NC titled) 1963 ... (just found out a couple days ago from the Mack museum that our truck is actually a 1960 model). The truck was 85% restored when purchased and we have been working to get her to 100%, still working on some small details. Thanks for the site and we look forward to it and enjoying our new toy! 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32571-new-to-bmtcom/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodney Woody Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 It's a 673 (non-turbo). Has a 10 speed. I had the single right side updraft taken off and put twin stacks (used the cab glad-hand holders as brackets). I'll have to post some updated photos. The only thing I want to do more is get the front bumper chromed.Thanks for welcome(s)!!

HarryS Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Very nice truck. Nice to meet a fellow 1960 B Model owner. I'm kind of in the same position as you just getting the truck on the road and working out the bugs. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32571-new-to-bmtcom/#findComment-203179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
