mackdaddy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I have quite a few of the L cab B's and hope to do one someday. Keeping my open for a right priced CL with a V8 that is salvageable with the thought of making a runner out of one. The wrecker and green logger are B755's and the Blue is or was a B753. Note the late model windshields on two of them. All rubber. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34860-l-cab-b-model/page/3/#findComment-236836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
57 bcr Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 This one was for sale a couple years back. Looked pretty decent to me.And one that graced the pages of OVERDRIVE, in the mid-'70's.The black one belonged to the late Bobby Sanderson... 2 Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

james j neiweem Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think they came out with the C model to use up the last of the L and B parts because the next year the R and U model came on board.

mackdaddy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The red B was from southern Oregon and in it's day it was a sharp logger!. I stopped and looked it over and it was awful tired.

vision386 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 That's a sharp truck!

tilynb61 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I love the L Cabs. Like a previous poster said, maybe not as well built but much more room than my B cab trucks. Here is a pic of my current one, a work in progress. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34860-l-cab-b-model/page/3/#findComment-240703 Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Joe D.,I couldn't quite remember the whole name but thought it had something to do with "Hula" anyway! Knew the one you were talkin' about,as it was a favorite of mine also. You couldn't miss that color combination, for sure! Yeah, I wonder where it is now,myself? Thanks,Chuck for comin' up with the page. AlI have a "Hula popper" fishing lure...never caught anything on it though. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Tom I had a "Hula Popper" and "Jitterbug" when i was younger. I never caught many fish or game when hunting either. I know the service manager at the Mack Dealer in Scranton,Pa. pretty good. It was Simpson Motors at that time I stopped there last week to talk to him about the truck but he was not there. He retired from service manager and now sells Macks for the new owners which is Triple Cities Mack (Cook Bros).

HarryS Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was at an antique car flea market today near Kennett Square, PA (SE corner of PA) and saw a L cab B-75 sitting behind a shop. The owner is an older gentleman that has several older Macks. This truck had the hood bent from snow sliding off of the roof this past winter. He said it hadn't been started for over a year. Also the engine and trans had been swapped and a 673 with a duplex was in it. Was a pretty nice truck other than the hood damage. He wasn't interested in selling it. Of course I did not have a camera. I think he said he bought it some years ago neat Lititz after the engine & trans swap.
