Way Out Wayroc C Model Mack

[j hancock]

This black beauty has retired to Australia.

Very interesting find and photo. I like the color combo.

Wow I didn't realize Wayne sold that truck. It was parked in a garage 3 miles down the street from my house. It was the only C model I've ever sat in, didn't get to drive it though.

[j hancock]

The C went Down Under several years ago.  I clicked the pic at Barrington, NH in 1999 or 2000.

Is this the one on Tony Champion's collection??

[j hancock]

That is the one.

[Maddog13407]

someone change out the front axle?

[66dc75]

I think that Barrington show was about the only onehe ever took it to. Walter Balchunas, an old truck mechanic friend of mine next door to my old shop did the mechanical work on that when it was being restored.

Wow that thing is gorgeous... Never seen one that nice even while they were running them back in the sixties....Bob

Are the Cs fairly rare?  I've only just seen pics of them.  I like them, and if I could find a driver for a reasonable price, I'd certainly consider scooping one up....

Used to see a lot more of them 15 -20 years ago. When I first met Merk (R model Mack pickup truck that's at Macungie every year ) he had 3 of them lined up out back in Shrewsbury Ma. They are long gone now. I don't think the Wayroc truck got driven much they said it was like having concrete tires it rode so hard

Ahhh, so it WAS pretty limited.  So probably won't be east to find one at a reasonable price, if at all....

Here is one in Western North Carolina.. at the 2014 Arden show with the fender open.

[DailyDiesel]

Here is one from York, PA ATHS national show.

[j hancock]

These two were at Ballston Spa a few years ago.

[C609T]

Here's our 1965, C609T1785 currently being re-restored 

[james j neiweem]

Could have made this a tilt hood to compete with the U model.

[j hancock]

The U model replaced the C model in the Mack line up which included the new upgraded cab.

[DailyDiesel]

From the 2007 ATCA show in Harford, PA. Seems to be the same truck from J's post above.

I take it the C model shared the U and R frame and hangers? the ones in the pics have R  model rear spring hangers and looks like an R model bumper would bolt right up with the 6 holes? seems odd Mack would spec that weird C model  Fuel tanks tho. you don't see those long low hung tanks on anything else

[j hancock]

Mack used to post this note on their brochures about running changes.  The C model sure was a bit of a parts bin special back when the BBC measurement was very important for lots of trucking companies.

That's interesting thanks for the update remember a law transportation when I was a kid ran both C,s and U models in my area.....Bob

Law Transportation is still there but I think they are moving to Law Logistics as their name.  They still seem to be running mostly Mack equipment.  A while back, Law lost a big contract with the State of NH and that has taken some of the wind out of their sails.
