  1. I forgot to add, he also told me that something is stuck in the transmission: flexplate to flywheel if I remember?! He can still drive it around, but it is not 100%.
  2. Hello all, I have my feelers on this truck. The guy lives near me and wants me to make an offer. It is a 1955 B71ST. I understand that the B-71's are far more rare than some of the other B-Models... but are they desirable?! I really have no idea what it would be worth, so just for giggles: What would be your "No-Brainer" offer on something like this if you were in my shoes?! Here are some of the details, and see pic. Cummins powered with a 5 speed main transmission and a 3 speed auxiallry. The differentials are the big double reduction Mack units. The engine starts and runs well. Oil pressure is 70+ psi. It builds air to 120+ psi. Includes all the parts of the truck including hood chrome, horns and running lights. Maxi-brakes added to the front drive axle and has a pair for the rear one, not installed.Added a turbocharger to the engine. Also has the jake brake heads and parts. That is the original Bull Dog hood ornament The dump bed is not attached to the truck, DOES NOT go with truck.Thanks guys, I will be interested to see what you think!! Brady aka elksheds
  3. Thanks Superdog! Thats funny, I know of that family. There are several Mack B Series trucks I am aware of around here, just have not proven that they are it yet...
  4. Hello All, I will try to keep it short and sweet: I am from Kalispell, MT. Back in the 1950's, my Grandpa drove a log truck for the F K & L Mill here in the Flathead, Martin City, MT to be exact. I have a picture of the truck, and have a dream of locating it and bringing it back to life. Before I even try, I need to verify the model though. For a long time, I though it was a 1955 B61ST, but am now thinking it may be a B71ST. I was hoping to get help verifying this (If I can get the picture uploaded). What would even help more if if someone said, "I know that truck!"...... I am new to forums in general, but hopefully this will be the beginning to locating this truck. Thank you very much, and let me know what you guys (and gals) think! Brady Gibbons Truck belonged to Duane Byrd in the late 1950's in Martin City Montana. Duane died in 1962, so it obviously cannot be any newer than that. He had a Peterbuilt when he passed, as the Thermodyne did too well at keeping him broke, haha!
