70mackMB Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Another real truck! Ex Overnite Transportation with vertical exhaust and power steering installed.

Seems everyone had them and they were used for everything. l've had drivers stop and look at mine at the shows and reminisce. You can tell which ones drove an MB, it was a love/hate relationship!

Rob Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 There is one used for a yard horse at a heavy equipment mover around here. Diesel but no turbocharger built in 1974. Supposedly the engine is original to the truck and it's always been the yard jockey since new as it has a hydraulic 5th wheel. It runs well and when they are ready to part with I'm supposed to get a call. Know the yard man quite well so expect it will happen but when????? 1 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mack did build one with a shorter wheel base than mine. lt was a trailer toter model 401T or 487T. This one was used by St. J and was for sale in Mass. .....Hippy 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/61321-1965-mack-mb-tractor/#findComment-444777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

66dc75 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Herb takes the swan boats in and out of Boston Common every year and needs a short trsctor to drive down the paths in the Common.

hurstscrambler Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 There White 3000 must have made 3 or 4 trips by me pulling some sort of flatbed last spring. I was shocked to see a truck that old working, it made my day. It was running down Herrald st in Boston I believe. I’m gonna try to see if I got a picture.

Ditchdiggerjcf Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I owned a 77 road boss2 twin screw dump at one time. It had a shiny 290 and a 13spd. It was a great truck.
