1955 Mack B60X Dump truck


Recommended Posts

           When I see all your Mack photos from the museum I think that it's a shame that the FDNY Super Pumper and Tender didn't end up there. They certainly were a one of a kind Mack product.

Thx for posting Jim- I KNEW I should have gone to Museum last week. I have seen pix of this B-60X before.  I believe this is a Matt Pfahl restoration and he has had it in some of his ads.  In any case I looked at chassis no. and guess what-my B is chassis is 3731!  I refer to mine as a B-61X as at some point in time it was converted from the EN 464A/TRDX670, to I believe a 673/TRD 720, and then eventually the 673 was replaced with the current ENDT 675.

My front axle is the same FA 519, the rear is also a RAD 111 and according to build sheet was same 9.05 ratio (current is 6.07).

As my build sheet indicates it was delivered to the Boston branch, and as it indicates original color was green, I wonder as close as these chassis numbers are if my truck was also a Derenzo order.

 All of my records also indicate the truck is a 56 vs a 55 so as the Derenzo chassis no. is 3 numbers higher than mine, something doesn't foot.  No dates on the build sheet.

Would indeed look great at the Mack Museum or the FDNY Museum.

It is nice that it survived and might just have to make a trip to Michigan to check it out.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Andy Lieder put a twin turbo 864 in the F tractor.  He got two radiators from me for it, but he only paid for one.  I am waiting over 3 years for him to make good on the second one. Mike.

i think that was one of Matt Pfahl's first restorations. that's the truck  Franklin Mint modeled the yellow B61 dump truck and diorama after. maybe not his first cause Jane Anne was but know it was in the first batch along with a B42 fire tanker truck.
