Popular Post vision386 Posted March 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2014 I found this picture on a website that was printed in a foreign language unknown to me,but it's a nice picture of what looks to be a still working truck,going by the modern RD and KW next to it.Sharp old truck,i have always liked the L cab on a B-Model....................................Mark 1 7 Quote Mack Truck literate.

39 Baby Mack Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I agree Mark,The "L" model cab probably wasn't as well constructed as the "B" model cab but it damn sure had a lot more room in it!Used to get a kick out of somebody maneuvering a "B" model in tight spots, kept accidentally blowing the horn!Ron 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34860-l-cab-b-model/#findComment-235099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've seen that pic before too,if I remember right,it mentioned the truck was repowered with a 8V71 Detroit. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34860-l-cab-b-model/#findComment-235119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Those are nice-looking trucks although sometimes such a B seems to me as a L model with a pair of B fenders.

57 bcr Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Last I heard,Roger Hanefeld's yellow B-73 was still around,but looking a little rough. The top 2 in your pics,Bob Brown had a hand in the green one-the blue/white one he had just finished when I visited his yard in early '86. Whoever he sold it to out east,put the Merc. bunk on it.

j hancock Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Glad to hear the blue and white one is in good hands. It had been owned by Ben Gagliano in NJ and also spent some time at the Golden Age of Trucking Museum in CT until it closed a few years ago. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Superdog Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I almost bought that yellow one from Roger when he put it up for sale,kinda wish I would have. I remember the green one being Tractor of the Month in Overdrive,when it was still a magazine. The owner had it leased to Waggoners Trucking. I think the blue and white one lost it's bunk last pic of it I saw. Good to see a pic of Walsh's again. He had a mint B42 also,as I recall. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34860-l-cab-b-model/#findComment-235430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I know Roger was looking for doors a while back,for it. Another friend of mine went to look at it and said it definitely needed them now.

vision386 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Now I remember the green one Mike! but if I remember correctly didn't it have flames or something painted on the fenders? and I seem to recall one of the headlight trim rings was missing!.......................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
