To get a real appreciation for this truck you should get a look when its on the lowboy and you see the detail underneath. A typical Dave Mauro restoration.

jackb61sx Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That truck is one of only 3 made by Mack, dont even know if the other two are around Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50214-1965-mack-b-87-tractor/#findComment-372705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That truck was converted to manual transmission during it's working life. Dave Mauro somehow knew where the allison was stored and when he bought and restored the truck reunited them. Not only is the underside as nice as the top side the brake shoes are even painted to match the frame and they were just as shiny.
