Popular Post FirstEliminator Posted January 22, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2017 Well, I'd better watch Larry's twin-stick shifting video a bunch of times. Here's what I bought today: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Look like it has a ton of potential! Good luck with it and enjoy it.

Mack58B42 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Nice! If you'd like to get it on the B-model registry, feel free to send me the truck info, or you can go to the site and find the data entry form: http://www.mackb-modelregistry.com/ The twin stick is tough at first, but it won't take you long to find your way around the gears, and to figure out the best way to maximize performance while minimizing the number of shifts. Running empty, you certainly won't need anywhere near all the gears.... I miss mine - I was just starting to get good at it when I sold it....

bbob61 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 NIce! Enjoy it. You done good! I checked out this truck at the Gerhart show in Pa, it's all there and really worth whatever effort you're going to put in it. You're gonna love drivin' it. Great choice . . .

Vladislav Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Cool purchase! A couple of runs over a willage on a sunny day and you will start loving it with all the sticks it has. What does it have of an engine and rears? Double frame? Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstEliminator Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks guys. Looks like triple frame. Not sure of the ratios. The engine is a naturally aspirated 673. Hmmmmm, I'm not quite ready for a cement truck. This truck was at a show in PA? The seller didn't mention that. He did say he's had it for about 3 years, got it out of Connecticut. The seller was quite a Mack fanatic himself. There were a bunch of B and R models----at least a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977vega Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 He's got quite a few trucks for sale on Craigslist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hicrop10 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Which Craigslist,city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstEliminator Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I see he has a B-83 on there. Strange, he spelled the city name wrong. It should be Northampton, not North Hampton. I've found that if you search western mass CL using only the city the way he spells it, a bunch of his stuff comes up. Found another B-81, plus other stuff that is definitely his. Generators, carts---lot of scrap yard type stuff---interesting stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff M Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I haven't driven a twin stick in over 30 years, buy I sure like them. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
