other dog Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I ordered a couple of CD's for Jo recently from Amazon (she asked for them,and I figured it was the least I could do,since I completely forgot her birthday-women are funny about that kind of thing). So while I was ordering,I figured i'd get something for myself too. I have several books by Ron Adams,all good,but saw one called "Mack Trucks" that I didn't have,so I ordered it too. It's really great,mainly about the first 70 years of Mack history-goes from the beginning up to the sixties. I saw Mack truck pictures that i've never seen before,and i've looked at every single picture on Hank's truck pictures. It's a book well worth having,and if anyone needs a picture of a rare model never seen or heard of before,let me know,i'll look it up for 'ya. Here's a couple of sample pages...

ThaddeusW Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Wow you barely see any of those oldies restored. I wonder why? I realize those are what, late 30's 40' models? Maybe I am not paying enough attention. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

Maybe I am not paying enough attention.Hi Thad, the H-63's were a mid 50's produced truck. My uncle bought one a few days before Christmas. He also got a 1961 B-61 with a "box sleeper" he is hanging as a "carrot" out in front of me testing my resistance.....I can hardly wait to justify this one.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

My uncle drove one for Mclean freight and it was one of his favorite trucks many years ago.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
