                     This D8 14A wet clutch cut many a logging road and forest service road years ago, still used to dress the roads on the farm where it sets.

    I took the Photos and yah the truck is in Pasco ,Wa. And yes it has mack planetary rears. And yes you still hear much about Lampson Crane,  and that stadium issue was caused by arrogant behavior not the crane. Way too many rumors circulated about that incident-strictly hearsay.

                                 Vladislav- it does say Buda Lanova on the rating tag at the back middle of the block you can just make out the small brass tag. I was told this one is a 1952 one of the last Buda's before

                                 Allis Chalmers bought them out in 1953.

    Cost To Refurbish A Truck

    in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion

    Posted

                                               The B75 I'm working on at the moment will probably run 20K when I'm done. And that is completely hand building the truck, because everything will be modified.

                                                the hood 14" longer, a new frame and totally different running gear. I have to build the outside frame steering, clutch linkage, all crossmembers , air intake, exhaust

                                                system, visor and several other goodies. But for me I have a ton of connections for parts and some of it has been given to me. I have a friend that runs a great 

                                                machine shop for those items, plus I have lengthened 72 trucks over a span of 44 years as a mechanic. My advise is do a bunch of looking and investigating 

                                                on costs before jumping into a major rebuild, having excellent sources is key to keeping the costs down.  $12,000 in the KW I did some years back, Again I had most

                                                of the parts already.
