Popular Post seyser Posted September 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hello All,I have had my truck for one week as of today, had it hauled from WI to MN. Its a 1964 B61 ST with the 673T engine. Here are a few pictures that the PO took of the truck. I will have to take some more now that its home. I plan to start changing all of the fluids and then go from there.-Jeremy 8 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41747-first-week-with-my-1964-mack-b61/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

seyser Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Cool truck!What do you have the bed for?Was it with the truck when you purchased it?VladThis truck was a road tractor but the fifth wheel plate was removed.The bed was on there when I purchased the truck. I had originally planned on removing it and putting a plate back on but think I'll probably leave it as is.

Vladislav Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I asked just because I have a R-model traktor as a hobby truck and have currently either flatbed installed to move some things.Your B looks surprizingly nice with that low sided bad.Might be good to keep it in place and put some frash paint on in the future.That's always possible to put something onto as a ballast.

seyser Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 saw that truck for sale. was for sale for a bit. looks like a nice score as others say.Yea it was listed a couple times. I was surprised no one had bought it sooner. It has the good 673t engine, power steering, added front brakes, etc. Its hard to find a good unmolested B in the Midwest. Most I looked at had been altered with engine swaps, frames cobbled, repaired, and modified. This one seems to be a decent numbers matching original. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41747-first-week-with-my-1964-mack-b61/#findComment-303485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job41 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 How are the floors? Are they rust free? Which transmission does she have? Looks like a good project.

Green Dash Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I can't get over how many B models pop up on a seemingly daily basis, and in such good condition. Best of luck with it!

Maddog13407 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I agree, B model to R model ratio must be about 5 to 1 on survivors Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41747-first-week-with-my-1964-mack-b61/#findComment-303709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnjoyThe floor needs attention but thats an easy fix as I have located a couple donor cabs with nice floors. This one has a quadbox, Im still honing my shifting skills with it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41747-first-week-with-my-1964-mack-b61/#findComment-303921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
