If that was the truck in St Louis, it was on CL for $7500 and had rust and other issues with the engine, I would have to go through my notes I made an offer on it a couple months ago but it definitely needed work.

Sorry to not follow the cost discussion although the hood length of this unit seems to me as short as of a B67.

Were they V8 B's had this style factory or were either different ones with "normal" (B61 size) hood length?

The wider nose gives it the illusion of it being short

Thank you for clearing Mike.

I related that hood with B73/75 and was wrong.

The only question now is where to get 17500 extra cash plus shipping where to get 4 extra years of life to bring this thing to the condition I'd like to see in :blush::blush::blush:

I think the Mason-Dixon were B-67's with the hard nose radiator. A few other companies also used the hard nose B-67. I was told bigger radiator for cooling. There was one by me B-67 with hard nose 10 speed Roadranger from factory but it went missing awhile back. Joe D.

This truck is just crying out for someone to take it home and love it! Once restored, It would scream to the whole world "Machismo!" :notworthy: It is these kind of trucks that I end up coveting. But I just can't afford it.

Question for you guys who are more knowledgeable: Were the V-8 Macks as reliable as the straight sixes such as the END 673C?

Maddog13407,

How were the rest of Mack's V-8 line up as for reliability? I get the impression that the E9 was a good engine, but I have no direct experience. I ran into a guy running a superliner dump-truck on a construction project back in 1989. It had an E9-500 in it. I asked him how well it climbed the hills. He said " What hills ?!!!" That was east of Norwich NY where all you have is hills. Thanks, Job41
