If you have a steering box to rebuild contact Power Steering Specialists
690 Green Crest Drive
Westerville, Ohio 43081
800 235 3076
They replaced the seals in mine. It sat too long after restoration. It's not going to be a quick job . There is great joy when you see it again and even more when you get it back on

Many F and the early MH’s tractors UPS had were equipped with hydraulic clutches. If you know any old UPS mechanics they can probably help.

I’m think Mack used more than one shade of green. I can’t prove it. Most likely more than a single brand of paint too, which would make for a slight difference in what is considered the same color . Comments?

Smaller steering wheel from an R model would buy you a couple more inches

Take something green from the cab and go to a PPG or other automotive paint store. They have color wheels that have an almost endless amount of shades. You will be amazed. Single stage urethane has worked well for me.

The gold/chrome dog thing reminds me of the other heavily opinionated topic. Mud flaps and the way the dog faces. Both chrome and gold look nice. I’d just have them match and don’t worry about the rest.

The previous owner actually set it up for a rollback. They wanted it to haul cars they collected. Thank you for responding

If it came with just seat belts when new you are good. I crossed the scales near Hurricane West Va. in a cabover Volvo. The officer stopped me and said put your foot on the brake and I’m gonna open the door. He saw the truck had no shoulder belt. He said ok , you can go.
if you decide to add the shoulder strap check seatbeltplanet.com

I’d try Facebook. Don’t worry about over priced. They are fairly rare as many have been exported. If they don’t like the price they don’t have to buy it. Truck restoration is expensive!

Have you thought of contacting Cummins with the serial number on the engine ? They should be able to help with this

I have used Hi-line plating, Cuba , Missouri. They have a facebook page

Thank you. I bought this truck a few months ago. It's in great shape but a few things need some tweaking. I try not to have it out when raining. But I am bound to get caught in the rain sooner or later!

Saw one on facebook earlier this week in Lisbon, Ohio. bad engine for less than scrap price of 1900.00 330 429 4601 its a 1963 B-75. Has the usual Mack Rust. Inside looks good. Will need a drivers side fuel tank and a case of sandpaper. They are all going to need something unless you have a fortune to spend on one.Name posted is Jennifer Tucker. She says to text her if interested. Its a good looking truck.. No L model cab sorry. just read your post again

Absolutely. I’ve got 3 B’s from AITM. They are unbuilt. I fear there may not be more. I see myself getting multiple models of this. They could make other B’s easily too . Just by changing the front end.
