    Absolutely beautiful truck! Very sad that the trucking companies don't make them with such detail anymore. Thank you for sharing...

    They used to say if you waved at a B model driver, and he had a free hand to wave back- he was either lugging the engine or coasting down hill!😳

    There is a trucking company near my house that has a few not so old Kenworths sitting dead in the field with grass growing around them, and beleive it or not, they have a 1983 (35 years!)Mack still running on the road! Mack is definetely the true difinition of what is a real truck!

      Unfortunately none!Except that i have act as a helper on an old B model in the early '70s.I've been surrounded with Mack vehicles;fire dept's, bus, bus wreckers (for the Can, Brill's!) dumpers and all.Great memories early '80s with brand new flat faced MB-600 pumpers for the city of Verdun.

      @@johndavidson4128 When Waylon Jennings was touring in the 70s, they needed a semi, so they bought an old B model Mack. I think that one had the “shack in the back”.

    Trying to see the shift pattern. We have a b75 dump truck in our barn( my wife’s family’s barn) been sitting for at least 30 years, but looks mint! I am going to get it running!

    • @jaybarber68
      @jaybarber68 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I bet if you had someone to help you, he could tow it around. That’s how we got my 69 Kenworth running. It was a rather cold day, too! I had to fill up the tanks full, and run her about 100 miles, before she would start on her own, though.

      @jimwilloughby 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dean, I agree. Not only is it in the way, which could be a hazard to safe driving, it is a lazy driver's way of hanging it up when not in use. It looks messy too. I like a neat cab when driving.
