russell t Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 They don't seem to be real popular, partially because us old guy's are cashing in Notice all the "Antique" 70"s and 80's Peterbuilts and Kenwourth's at the shows. I really like the A models so keep me posted. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49206-mack-a-model/#findComment-365049 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 As an owner of an A model I think they are very desirable, depending on the model. They are much rarer than the L models and if they are a 20, 30, or 40 series can be trailered to shows with a pick up. That is a buy if it as described.

Popular Post yarnall Posted March 21, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) I also have and A model and love it. I called about the truck. If it is as nice as he says it is a good deal. Original owner. One repaint. Was running about 18 months ago and should run again. I am waiting on pictures. He said he had a lot of interest.

russell t Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 My father bought one new in 1950 and I wore it out twice by 1975 and liked it very much. I looked at a nice A40 in Ca. recently but the owner must have changed the steering box as the wheel was a lot closer to the seat back than I remembered Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49206-mack-a-model/#findComment-365637 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The sign on my A model says "You must weigh under 200 pounds to fit on this ride" 2 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Freightrain Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 A friend wanted to drive my B model. He barely fit under the wheel with the seat all the way down. Ya, these old trucks do have "size" limits. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
