Popular Post NY-B61 Posted June 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi there,I appreciate being here and the excellent mechanical resources I've found on this site. Not to mention the folks that have way more knowledge than me and are willingto share it. Thanks for accepting my registration!She's a 1964 B61 repowered with an END673T mated to a Triplex with both rears live. She's a work in progress but we both have a great time when I take her out and run her like a thoroughbred. Oats are running about $4.35 a gallon here and are expected to rise this Summer as (fill in bullsh*t excuse), but nothing runs like a Mack. Thank you again!NY-B61 10 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36030-greetings-from-an-upstate-new-york-new-guy/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Welcome. The truck looks familiar. Did it come from OldMacks? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36030-greetings-from-an-upstate-new-york-new-guy/#findComment-249107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY-B61 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome! This is my first Mack, the last ten years were spent refurbishing and enjoying a series of Willys Wagons and FC's. Simple in design, well thought out vehicles with tons of history behind them but they became too familiar. Rebuild the carb blindfolded, replace steering ball joints with both hands tied behind the back, refurb the transfer case while blindfolded with both hands tied behind the back AND 'Monster Mash' playing at full volume - the challenge was gone. And a Willys doesn't really have six or eight (depending on configuration) sequential forward speeeds. It was time. GreenGiant2 - I'm located a little Northeast of Buffalo about 50 miles from your neck of the woods. You have a nice looking set-up! Mr. Superdog - Yes, I bought her from Dennis and feel fortunate to count him as a friend. I didn't want to spend the next ten years turning a wrench daily, even blindfolded, so bought a B61 as mechanically sound as can be. I still have a lot of learnin' to do and this is a great place for it!

NY-B61 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Great B model! Love the pictures next to the lake!Thank you! That was always a good place to take pictures during the time I was interested in Jeeps. The B61 does it more justice. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36030-greetings-from-an-upstate-new-york-new-guy/#findComment-250177 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our two Seasons here, Winter and 4th of July, that could be limiting Upstate enrollment.

NY-B61 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Damn I miss my jeeps .There are plenty out there now from all years at near give-away prices. I don't miss the rust on every model I ever owned or worked on. By the time the welding sparks settled and the new body panels, cross members, floor pans and windshield pillars finished cooling, I could have bought a Mack - already painted. What did you have?

j_martell Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 1988 AMC Jeep YJ 4.2l and a 1994 Mopar Jeep YJ 2.5l. The 88 was an absolute jewel, but the 94 was a whole new kind of beat when I got it ......Maybe one day the boss will let me have another toy Quote Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part....
