steelman Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I have a B47 tandem axle, with the END 465. Tranny is a 12 speed i believe (haven't looked at it in a while). It was a dump truck with a triple frame and had wedge brakes . We pulled it around the yard, and it started right up and ran great. I thought about making it a single axle with cam brakes and putting a 24' Jerr Dan roll back body I have on it (10 ton steel riggers body) to haul my toys. I have some doubts about it having enough power.

Maddog13407 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I dont think the 413 was never put in a b model from the factory. maybe retrofitted at a dealer. I had a military firetruck with a 354 Chrysler hemi. also had a B model with the 413 with it was a retrofit.

John Hancock can be found on JOT, but I don't think that is his, he just took and posted the picture. Doubt it is going to be for sale at this point.

mowerman Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Seems the guy that owned it sold it a few years ago, but he still on here . Bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50353-1966-mack-u-model/page/2/#findComment-539836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 I don’t remember why he sold it it? Memory is failing, but it seemed like he was proud as a peacock of that thing and all of a sudden it was for sale.
