Popular Post j hancock Posted June 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2019 The B-81 was produced between 1955-1966. The heavy duty model replaced the Mack LJ and in turn, the B-81 was replaced by the DM series of trucks. 9 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Maddog13407 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 if i remember right that truck was untouched on the inside... I think it was all original with all the paint rubbed off here and there. there was also a B613LT out behind the bathrooms, green that was the most original survivor I have ever seen,aluminum round tanks and an aluminum hood Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57825-1956-mack-b-81sx-tractor/#findComment-426215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

h67st Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I hate to diss a B model, but that Autocar is an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57825-1956-mack-b-81sx-tractor/#findComment-426432 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) yes that one. I was drooling over that B. the guy with the Autocar parked next to me last year at Macungie. nice truck but I know he didn't leave his truck the whole time to look at anyone elses truck as he was too busy tooting his own horn Edited June 30, 2019 by Maddog13407 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57825-1956-mack-b-81sx-tractor/#findComment-426438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BERTRAM Posted July 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2019 That Autocar was nice. It looked like even the front axle was chromed. The B model is mine. I drove it to Macungie from Long Island. Pretty bouncy ride, especially over the Cross Bronx Expressway and the GW Bridge. It's something I always wanted to do though. It ran like a top! 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57825-1956-mack-b-81sx-tractor/#findComment-426700 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your B over that Autocar any day of the week! Never drove a B, but their look is growing on me!
