If you are interested in the washer bags, they were used on Studebakers and they have been reproduced and may still be available from Studebaker International, in Greenfield, IN. They are red with a Studebaker logo which can be removed with acetone, but of course no Mack logo. (317) 462-3124 Here is the link. http://www.studebaker-intl.com/index.html Fords also used them in the mid to late 50's and they may be available from reproduction Ford vendors like Dennis Carpenter, in NC with a Ford logo.

Great pictures. Never saw a paint scheme like that, especially back in the 60's. What engine, transmission, and rear end ratio does she have?

That is a real brush guard bumper. -
I would love to see some pictures of your concrete mixer. I have a '63 B-42 that originally was a mixer. My Dad was in the ready mix business back in the 60's and had 2 B Macks.

From the album: 63 mack mixer
Originally a concrete mixer, EN 402 gas powered, with a duplex transmission. Repowered with a Cummins CF-160 diesel and a quadruplex transmission sometime later. Rear ends were moved back approximately 2 feet and the frame extended 3 feet to carry logs in its later years. -

The front bumper held the concrete mixer drive take off that was driven off the engine crankshaft pulley, through an enclosed cogged belt or chain drive, and then went through a driveshaft under the right front fender parallel to the frame to drive the concrete mixer behind the cab. -
Ahh yes, it is April 1. My 1955 Studebaker truck is going back into production too. In fact, it looks a lot like my B series Mack. Anyone know any history of the B model cab design and possiblity of being related to the Studebaker 1949 and up C cabs?

Should really measure toe in from the horizontal centerline of the wheels front and back (same height as the axle shaft) for the proper tow in of 1/8" or 1/16". And the wheels should be back on the ground loaded with the normal front end weight so any kingpin or other looseness is taken into consideration. I made a gauge using a piece of 1/2" conduit with some vertical flat bar on each end that can be moved/adjusted on the conduit that I have used for years. David
