Farmdog Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Have a neighbor settling Grampa's estate. Grampa was a logger who was partial to Model B Macks.There are five complete trucks; two I think seven series (aluminum radiator tanks, long hoods) set up as loggers,Two B61's (one a dump truck the other a logger) and a B63 logger.Also they have quite a few usable parts; a cab, fenders, doors, two complete rebuilt diesel engines. and probably much more. They need help to determine values and to find homes for these good old trucks. These trucks were driven to the spot where they sit sometime in the last 10 to 20 years and are stil in in their work clothes.Tires all still aired up. Probaly fresh batteries and fluids would have them all running. How best to advertise? what kind of value?I am interested in the B63 and would like to help them get the others sold at fair prices.Any Advice?? One more question: where is there information about what the diferent Model B designations mean?Mack Neophite Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 That's pretty interesting.You can find the info you need in the Wiki section of this site.For a way to offer them for sale you may start from posting in the "trucks for sale" on here.Maybe not the most efficient place to get rid of them but shure the perfect one to find good homes.Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/#findComment-287870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmdog Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 These trucks are in western Oregon. No road salt used here.Beside six Macks there is this Diamond T Fire Engine.Thanks for the tip about model info on Wiki. Owners are digging up titles for specifics on models.

1951 Mack LJ Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I am here in Southwest Washington. If the trucks are not too far away I could make a trip over and look them over some. I am no pro by any means but might be of some help. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/#findComment-288150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 1951 Mack LJ Posted May 2, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2015 I looked around for a couple hours yesterday. Didn't get much time to talk to the owner before he had to leave to go to dinner with his wife. I found a few parts I want to buy. There is plenty of trucks and parts to look at and lots of wasps keeping guard. Only a couple of the trucks had the VIN plate in the cab and I didn't get to looking on the frame too close to find the numbers stamped.But here is a partial list so far.B60ST 1069Diamond T firetruckTruck and lowboy.... LSFW 64 LF20117 ??? and 1958 Peerless Lowboy.I would have stayed another hour or two to get more details but my friend who was along for the trip had to get home.There is also parts of Cats and excavators and part of a Salem sawmill. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/#findComment-288544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Good spy work!That COE is WW2 Autocar or International with Timken axles but seeing the pic I'd say someone put L-model cab on it.Good choice of B's, hope somebody will keep any as a treasury.

Popular Post 1951 Mack LJ Posted May 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2015 An update on this collection of Macks near Oregon City. I went out in the trees over the hill to go check out what there might be. One dented up L-model cab that had B-model fenders. And a L-model cab and chassis. Spent Saturday cutting trees out from around it, moving another truck out of the way, and then towing it up to the field. Then Sunday unbolting it from the frame and loading both cabs on my trailer. Going back for the chassis in the next couple weeks when I can find a bigger trailer. Between these two cabs and the one on my truck I should be able to piece together one solid cab. The interesting part is that my LJSW has stamped in the frame LJ2D4217D and the frame I am going to be picking up that I pulled the cab off is LJ2D4226D. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/#findComment-288818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phase 1 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 That is quite an early B60. 69th off the line. It would be a 1953. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/#findComment-288821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 both of those yellow dump trucks look pretty solid. the different color log truck apprears to be a B615? doesn't look to have the fender filler panels and the yellow truck seems to have shorter filler panels? maybe its the angle of the pics Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/39814-restorable-macks/#findComment-288854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
