Popular Post seyser Posted September 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2018 1964 B613, 673 turbo, Quadruplex, power steering. The truck runs, shifts and stops as it should. The rear suspension has been professionally rebuilt with all new rubber components. (I have receipts) This truck was delivered new without front brakes as is with all road tractors of the day. A few years back brakes were installed on the front axle with newly lined brake shoes, freshly turned drums, new chambers, air lines and QR valve. The engine is original and starts and runs excellent with minimal if any leaks. The truck has power steering that works fine but does have a slight leak. The cab is in fair shape for its age but there is some rust through on the bottom rear panel,driver floor, as well as a few other small areas. Overall a decent cab. The fenders are surprisingly solid throughout but again could use some small rust areas repaired. The frame is solid and straight although there is a one inch crack on the top of the rail behind the cab. It has been there for many years and has a support bolted over it per the Mack manual. All of the lights, wipers, gauges and heater work properly. The truck is still using the series parallel switch that works great and it also has the original generator that charges fine.The steer tires are good 22.5s and the drives are old 10.00x20s that are worn and need to be replaced. The truck currently have a flatbed on it as seen in the pics. This truck has some of the more desirable components such as the factory turbocharged engine, factory/dealer added power steering, matching 55 gal aluminum fuel tanks, quadbox, etc. This would be an excellent truck to restore or simply enjoy as is. $4,250 Located in MN. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54387-1964-b61-673-turbo-quad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Pretty solid truck for the money. What gears in the back? Road speed?

Outbehindthebarn Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Looks like a sweet rig.. some new shoes and go to work... It'd new some valves/airlines to pull a trailer though, right? Is that lever on the floor a driveshaft brake? Quote Fun is what they fine you for!My name is Bob Buckman sir,. . . and I hate truckers.

Freightrain Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Yup, parking brake on the floor. Usually just a vague inference.....I made sure my truck had spring brakes before I bought it. I didn't want to rely on a wood chock to make sure my truck was still sitting where I left it LOL! 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

You got that right...in the 70's my dad had a lot of his trucks retrofitted with maxis and I remember one instance where the valves & hoses didn't get hooked up just right. I was with him on a trip through Kentucky, we stopped at a truck stop with a definite slope to the parking lot. We got out and started walking up the hill when this older man who was sweeping the garage floor said, "Mister, your truck is rolling away". We took off running but it gathered speed (it was rolling backwards) and the trailer swung around, thankfully the landing gear lined up with the fuel tank and when it hit that it stopped (big dent in the tank of course). That's one of those scenes that I'll never forget. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54387-1964-b61-673-turbo-quad/#findComment-406730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Job41 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It looks like it would make a solid start for a restoration project.😃 But, that is typical of any old B model Mack.
