That's great. Glad it worked out. Now i Hope to see the mack on your next trip to central pa.

Glad it's coming together. Sounds like there was buried treasures in both housings. What was the difference that the driveshaft needed shortened? Was it because my yoke was bolted to a flange?

I don't think it will go for scrap. It will sit there a long time before that. His nephew listed it for him. I called and left a message. It didn't take to long for him to return my call. The cabs not perfect but it did seem pretty solid. Atleast to my standards. The axles and bearings where laying in the cab I didn't poke around very much. The trucks in the woods on the side of the mountain and I don't like snakes.

Yes I called. He used the truck I think until 2000 then sold it, but it got it back for lack of payment. The other guy took the hubs off to do brakes then somehow the hubs hot scrapped before this guy got it back.

I remember going to middle school in Treverton during the 90's when coal was still moving in the area. Every few minutes a R model would go buy with a load on its way to the Shamokin dam power plant. Jr's superliner is a new truck for him. His last one was a red and white IH transtar.

Yes.

I'd like a nice set of useable doors for my 1963 b67. My side windows are both broke, and drivers door has alot of plastic smeared on it. Also a good set of front fenders would be nice too. Anybody bringing some to Hershey?

I would have like to go, but the way me and sales work together is stuff doubles in price when I'm there. That and I go to work Sunday night with 15 stops to deliver. Doing to much on a Sunday make a long night.

Thanks. I thought but figured the way my luck went they where going to be 1" smaller.

I'm kinda looking for a drivers door possibly both with good glass for my b67. With it being a concave cab are the doors different then standard cabs? Are all the B doors interchangeable?

The top of the stacks come off so it will fit out. It's only a 8' high door. When I backed it in there was about 3/4" clearance with flat steering tires.

Yes it is a concave cab. I kinda defeated the purpose of that, and the short hood. I've drove truck since 2001 and grew up with my dad owning his own kenworths. My knowledge with the old Mack's was very limited other then I always thought they where cool. My 2 sons are 6&8 yrs old. they both love working on the truck with me, some weeks progress is pretty slow but well worth it. I only remember 1 local farmer that used a B model all the coal buckets had updated to R models in the area. I'm trying to teach the boys about the old iron that built the country. the youngest has a farmall H and the oldest has a John deere B. The goal with the mack is to haul the tractors, and I keep telling the wife I'm taking her on a date with it. Thanks again for the large amounts of knowledge that everyone is willing to share here, either directly to me or in past posts.

1 year ago on thursday I brought home my first truck. It's a 1963 b67 T. I've spent countless hours reading and rereading posts learning priceless info. I'm sure some of you will be upset with my changes, but I also read where others have said its your truck do with it as you please. So far I've stretched the wheelbase to 196" and installed a freightliner air ride cutoff. I built custom stack mounts and a rear bumper / trailer hitch. To pull either a gooseneck or bumper pull. I mounted a signal 100 gallon aluminum fuel tank, pete cab steps, 36" saddle box, 12 volt starter and a deck plate with a toolbox between the frame rails. Currently I'm mounting rear fenders and putting off doing a re-wire and plumbing job on truck. Just thought Id say thanks for the priceless info I've learned and share a few pics of my progresss.

I've used high temp exhaust header wrap on antique tractors, but it was a burlap color. ---I just checked on ebay and there is black avalible now.

I turn the front yoke 2 1/4 turns for the hub to go around 1

I don't think it has them. The one side I know just has a nut against the axle flange. The other side has a drain plug in the end of the flange and it may but it doesn't come out very easy.

I took it out of my 1963 b67.

I just measured and it does only have 6" lining. It has a 7" drum on the one side but both sides have 6" lining. It's from a 1963 b67 single axle tractor. Is there a way to tell if it has the centering cones?

Trying to help a guy out with a gear swap. I first thought the rad 5291 stamped into the axle housing meant it had a 529-1 ratio. Then I found all the other numbers stamped into the carrier section of the rear. Please mack gods help me out with the ratio. Thanks.

I'm from central pa if you would be looking for a road trip. I have the rear out of my B that has 5.29 ratio, 22" hubs, and s-cam breaks. I could give u a really good deal if u can get it before winter. Send me a message if u want to talk. It's nice to see old trucks still being used these days.
