Popular Post PeterMack Posted July 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) About a month ago I got word from a friend that Boughton's B model was up for sale. The truck has been parked for 16 years. They bought it from Greco some 30+ years ago to move crushers around the pit. As soon as I heard the news I jumped on the phone and inquired about it. We hammered out a deal and I got it home this weekend. The hard part was keeping it quiet for a month, not on my end so much, but as soon as it got pulled out of the barn last week everybody knew about it. I was getting pictures and texts about it from all over the place and it was out that I bought it. Got it home this weekend with a little help from my friends at Catom and got it in the driveway. The truck is very solid but does definitely need a little TLC. Did a ton of cleaning today. My friend Scott stopped by with his MB yesterday and we lined em up for a little Mack show in my driveway. Plans for right now are to get the mechanical issues worked out and then tackle the exterior. Hopefully I can get it out to drive it before the snow flies. Oh, and it does have a V8 with a Quad box, it's a tank! Edited July 17, 2016 by PeterMack 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did find a set of dogs for the hood already. Of all places my Dad had a set that he's had for close to 40 years. He doesn't remember where he got them but I'm glad he saved them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
