As i dont have a Mack yet,this is just one of the memories i have of growing up a truck Nut.Growing up In East Bridgewater Mass we lived on Central st,which as the name implys it was in the middle so everyone uses it to go too and from..There where many little and some big companys that ran B's one of these was "Hill" construction his 10 wheelers would rumble by all the time as kids we would run out and give the toot the horn sign to all the trucks.One day playing Football in the side Lawn the Hill trucks musta been close, they came by alot as the day went on we tired of getting them to toot and got busy playing ball when out of the blue my buddys start yelling and running.. the rest of us turned to see the whole dual wheel fron the passenger side front rear rolling towards us!!..It had snapped off and went flying it rolled right thru our game right into Mrs Sawyers garden(she was pissed) the dump stopped and we spent the rest of the afternoon watching them try to get the truck unloaded and on a wrecker..they struck me then as not the brightest bunch but it was fun and its one of the things i remember from the old days..Hopefully soon i will have a story about getting our 1st Mack Home

Thanks gearheadgrrl...as nothing is writin in stone thats could be a route we can take..who knows maybe it will stay all mack..thats a possiblity too

Thanks Barry & Bulldog man...Bulldog man...It wont be a cab and sheet metal on a Ford Frame it will All B Mack Except for the Motor and trans...The b is small enough to be powered by a nice (I know i said i wouldnt do this) 392 stroker...even a 351 with EFI and a kennie bell super charger!!..No really a nice strong purpose built Small Block and slush box with OD...dont forget the smaller B's u could get a Hemi in it...341 i think...not a mopar guy so im not positive...Just think a nice small wheelbase 6 wheel tractor...with a custom made flat bed stake side ..oak and all that great Mack Chrome!! My wife thinks i could be crazy...she thinks Im collecting as many american Icons i can before Im done here On planet earth!!! Winchesters...John Deere...Ford...Now Mack!..its all good My son and i will comence the search for a suitable truck to adopt as soon as the JD is done (early Fall) and as long as it takes to get her back kickin and whatever it takes we will do...with love... we take our Iron serious here

Chris..I wont Be cutting up the truck,from the out side it will be all "B" the only thing that would be out of the ordinary will be the Motor/Trans...and Rack Body with the nice wood....How do you think Us Ford Guys Feel every time we see a 32 with a smallblock chevy in it?!?!!?
