HeavyGunner Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Doing some family research and came across this old phone book page with what appears to have B model mixers in the ad on the side. 2 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Green Dash Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 That's funny. When I was kid I used to go through the phone book looking for pictures of trucks and buses. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44086-b-model-mixer-in-an-old-phone-book-ad/#findComment-325083 Share on other sites More sharing options...

B MACK Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 That is interesting that you saw an old phone book... The MACK Museum sent me the build sheet for my truck and a CHASSIS REGISTER page for B71's which my truck was on. And that page also has a B71ST #B71ST1477 to McElroy & Wilken Kalispell, Mt. delivery date 5-7-56. Shows a B71 also went to Equity Supply in Kalispell in 1956.

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Nice information. Our local phone books back in the 60's and 70's I remember the moving van lines had the most pictures of trucks. R-Model IH and White 3000 with sleepers were in the pictures.

57 bcr Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 You guys are readin' my mail! Those old phone book ads are cool. Look through old programs and such for the ads featuring dealerships,trucking companies,and the like. Always an interesting read in my book. Love the old ads featuring phone numbers of 4 digits or less! Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!
