Popular Post B MACK Posted June 20, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2016 I brought this yellow B71 home 10 years ago. I am the 2nd owner and since then the original owner has passed away. This past weekend the daughters were here again this year to go thru more stuff and try to take care of the estate. They called knowing I bought their dad's truck and told me they'd like for me to have something. The picture has MACK TRUCKS COMPANY 1950 in the bottom right corner, ceramic dog is from mexico. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29Bowtie Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Great keepsakes! They obviously knew that truck was special to their Dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyT Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 The dude that got me interested in otr trucking and taught me to shift a triplex,used to drive for a dump truck outfit in pgh pa called Ed W Texter co. They had an all b model fleet including those awful b42 gas burners! They had an English bulldog mascot named...you guessed it Mack.Thought of that when I saw the bulldog statue. The guy I mentioned took me for my 1st ride in a big truck,a Brockway 361 I think.Had a 220 Cummins with an Eaton "bogie" that's a 5 speed main with a3 speed differential.Shifter looks like a13 speed,but you split it like a 2 speed. Drove one yrs later in a "crackerbox Jimmy" only other one I've ever seen.Darn thing used to jump out of gear(the differential not the tranny),very annoying!.The company was going out of business,quit maintaining their trucks.One night the supv.called me for a run said I have 3 tractors you can choose from.The 1st one the alternator doesn't charge,the 2nd one has a gear missing(10 spd ranger, that's 2gears right? ) the 3rd one only one set of brakes working (on the tag axle) which one do you want? These were 4070transtar cabovers,night run snow on the ground! " I don't want any of them"! "You want your job don't you?" I took the one with one with only one set of brakes. I'll bore you with the rest of that story later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
