Green Dash Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Given the current size of your collection, I'd say that particular B is an important part of Mack history.Not to be a downer, but is this the one you lost in a fire?

ws721 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ok, so what do I have? Short of braving the cold to go look at the vin on the frame. I thought it was a B71 because it had the radiator mounted "ahead" of the fenders and is Cummins power Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good!

masterwelder Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ok I'll ask, maybe a stupid question, but why were the B-73s only cummins power?

Joe Ditchkus Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 That was Macks's way of identfying different Models. Same as R,F or U- Model use 607,685, 686 etc.Never any stupid questions. Joe D.
