  1. That does seem like a good buy.
  2. Not mine. Just saw it on Proxie Bid. Item Description:Translate description This beautiful out of the ordinary truck is a 1957 Mack B61 with a turbo Thermodyne diesel engine. The transmission is a 15 speed twin stick manual and it has air brakes. The dual stacks sound great and so do the air horns. It has cab marker lights, chrome front bumper, bulldog hood ornament, and has gone through a complete restoration. TITLE IN TRANSIT This item is part of The Branson Fall Auction 2024 - Day 1 Friday, Oct 18, 2024 | 11:30 AM Central
  3. That is a beautiful truck. They told me her father had restored it and intended to use it to haul his draft horses to shows. Gotta say that is style. Sadly back at the beginning of the year her father went to bed and never woke up. I didn't see the for sale sign, wonder how much they are asking?
  4. Very sad to hear about the devastation and loss of your neighbors. Prayers and heartfelt condolences. Harry Scott
  5. I got stuck on her picture and the tree but then finally my brain woke up. Just plain funny!
  6. I was there yesterday and it looked like about half the usual turnout. There were several nice B Models not seen before. I didn't get any pictures. Did you get any?
  7. Enjoy your retirement. Don't listen to the professor about getting bored. He doesn't have a DM.
  8. I just looked at the weather forecast for Winchester and it ain't lookin' good.
  9. Wow you can't beat that price. They look as good as new. I had a couple of rims done at a local powder coat place @ $250 each.
  10. If the tie rod end only moves when turning the tie rod and not the wheel could be a worn out ball joint.
  11. A friend of mine saw the beautiful truck at a show this past weekend near Frederick, MD. Wasn't able to find the owner. Look familiar to anyone nearby?

    Weighing in

    What was the scrap rate?
  13. That was me. They went about 100 miles from (in VA) here and on an early 50s fire truck.
  14. Wasn't there someone on here a few years ago that had an open rim come apart when he took the wheel off? I think I remember it was a trailer tire and it banged up his knee. He was from out west, Montana, Wyoming I think.
  15. Good show. The sound worked for me.
  16. The pressure sending unit on my B is on the passenger side firewall just below the shutter valve and the buzzer is under the dash behind the instrument cluster.
  17. Makes a big difference in noise and heat when you lose the steering column plug. What do you do around the clutch peddle?
  18. Size 22.5x8.25. They were sandblasted and powder coated. $200 for all plus shipping or can be picked up in Northern Harry Scott, hscott1937@aol.com or 703-791-3278
  19. I drove three WW II vets today in parade in DC. It was raining a little at the beginning but cleared up. The trip is 12 blocks and took half an hour. Those guys are so amazing The up front vet will be 99 in Sept. He was from Tenn and drafted in 1944 as an infantryman sent to Europe and participated the Battle of the Bulge. In their group there were several vets of WW II, Korea and Viet Nam. Lots of people on each side cheering and waving and most importantly thanking them for their service. Our group of cars (4) start at about 35 minutes in. I'm in the black '41 Cadillac limo.
  20. I will have the honor to drive three WW II veterans in the parade on Monday in DC. This will be the fifth time doing this. There are thirteen veterans from around the country, that number is down from about 25 in 2018. Our group is also having a hard time finding pre war cars. There are only four this year. Mine's a 1941 Cadillac Limo. It is so interesting to listen to those guys when they meet and talk about where they were and their shared experiences. It's a twelve block trip and takes about half an hour.
  21. Thanks for taking us along. As others have said I admire your sense of adventure and ability to find Macks wherever you go.
