Going out to haul snow, be back in the AM.

I have heard this a long time ago, B 60 series trucks, 2 axle gasoline power B 60 after 1959 all gas 2 & 3 axles were B60's, all diesels 2 & 3 axles were B61's

before 1959 2 axle diesel power B 61

3 axle gasoline power B 62

3 axle diesel power B 63

I have two B 63 parts trucks consecutive serial numbers. and knew of a B62 locally.

This the Mack dealership, Belmont St. Rt 9, Worcester MA. 1933 - 1955. Their LJ probably started working there. If you look close at the gray squares a top of the window columns

you can see the letters M A C K . Photo taken 2011.

A little piece of MACK history,

FW

My dad was telling me how he was pulling cars off the Highway for days. He was only 15 at the time driving a F-350 for East Side Garage. I like the picture of the 2 B-models and Ford plowing the best.

The Ford is coming upon a buried car.

Thanks maddog. Was it lugging or too hot operation is that what was killing the 711s?

The bigger bore, combustion to close to the water holes. Mack gave you the aluminum plugs for the close water holes and new gaskets worked.

FW

For clean up they took anything with a dump body, 10 wheelers worked all night for 2 months. Local sand and gravel co. came to me for any 673 engines or parts to get trucks running from the their parts trucks and all the pit trucks were there. No registrations nothing.

Another one I have, all fiberglass. Diamond Reo, X aircraft fueler, U 200 rear

48k?

This truck is known to me as Ralphy's B-81, driven by Ralph M. for the Kesseli & Morse Co . which was bought by Scavone about the mid 70's . The Kesseli & Morse logo is still on the barrel. This truck and others delivered many loads to our jobs in the 60's thru the early 70's. The Kesseli & Morse Co. had one of the first DM-800s in the area (1965).

This is the LJ the Kesseli & Morse Co. used to deliver their masonry supplies. Went to a local concrete form contractor to haul form panels, then a farm had and I don't think they used it,

I got it about 1999. long double frame, 707,and 24" tires.

I didn't know Mack made a cabover until I bought this one in 1967, and rebuilt it in 1980.

More interesting cabover information, This is from the Diamontd T sales sheet; 1955

New release in the cabover model 921C, double wall aluminum cab, insulated fiberglass roof,

and the first ones used L model Mack doors.

Don't know if it is true or not but a Mack engineer left Mack to develop the Diamont T cabover.

Later production the top of the door was squared off. Might be similar to the G model Mack and KW

sitituation.

A couple of 87 Superliners that we had. They had 350's with 12 spds

I think the best factory paint scheme, even better with a bunk.

Can't change perfect, just my .02

FW

Now that's a load of wood right there!

The one on the right is a truck and 3 full trailers and probally used on private roads for the most part. The one one the left appears to have a large capacity traction sanders.

FW

That almost looks like a B-615SX up front,but I don't see any V8 emblems.What else could it be? Anyway,cool picture!

Taken in the early 80's , I tried to buy this truck, but waste company donated it to a local B 61, B 67? not sure of power , I think inline.

vocational school mechanics class, I am told it has been restored and may still be around.

Worcester MA 1980's

B615 SX, long wheelbase and the company built the roll-off hoist in the 60's and claim to be

the first one in Massachusetts.

FW

Or you can do it this way,

1.00 divide .67 = 149.2

149.2 divide .84 = 177.6

1.00 divide 177.6 =.563

Cappello # 30 1994 RWS 2011

Talked with Mr. Dorr today he still has the truck , he said it is a 357, cummins 250, R700 mack hood and cab, put it togther along time ago. I will go there to check it out.

FW

The truck has a Brockway cab but the cowl is R Mack, front axle, rockwell rears, tanks, battery boxes, and wheelbase are typical of Brockway. Definitely more Brockway than Mack, will do more investigating.

FW

This picture is at the Rutland VT truck show about 20 years ago. Not very clear picture on here but truck appears to be all Brockway except hood and fenders. The chassis would have to be a 360/760 if a conversion. Need to find more about this truck.
