Popular Post Mike Blais Posted October 24, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 24, 2015 I took this picture at a small local gathering in 2005. I think its a 1957 B 21. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42331-b-21/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 looks like it to me,wonder if it still has a Hall-Scott in it? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42331-b-21/#findComment-308606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Blais Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think he has another, both from Ogden Utah? That was before I 'went digital' so I only took a few pictures. Mr Hancock was there, he may have taken some. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42331-b-21/#findComment-308609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The owner has/had two 1957 B21's with consecutive serial numbers. I spoke with the owner at the Western Mass show last May but the B21 trucks didn't come up in the conversation. At one point, he had been talking about selling them but I don't know if he did or not. Believe both still had "little" Hall Scott power under the hoods with 1250 GPM pumps.Not sure if I have any pictures of them? Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 My grandfather bought one of the trucks. We just got it back to road worthy. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrowI know where there is a Hall-Scott for sale if you need a spare. It is in Maryland. PM me if you want the information.Did he also buy a fuel tanker so he can drive the rig more than 10 miles? Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Gmerrill0516 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I looked at those trucks at that time. Both were operable with the Hall-Scott motors in place. I believe he had a spare as well. Good guy with a good eye for Macks. Impressive collection. If anyone knows his contact info, I've lost it and would like to have it. I'd appreciate a PM with that. That is definitely a 21 with the extended hood. Note that the fenders are spaced forward of the cab AND the nose is extended at the bumper. She is LONG.

Popular Post fifth wheel Posted December 4, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 4, 2015 Here is a picture of the truck I took about 10 years ago, and drove it in the yard.
