It really didn't happen without pictures.

I see your a troll-standard Pennsylvania model or top line national model and one that can't read. I said I will get pics when I go back to get my parts.

                                         Well now I have to ask- I ran across two un-restored AC Macks and another that is restored today as a matter of fact. Now with those Mack's were two 30's KW's and a 1939 Pete.

                                         Now I have to go back to the salvage yard in the very near future to pickup the steer axle and other parts that were given to me for my B75 by the owner. And I'am going to get pic's.

                                         Big question does anybody want to see pics of the AC Macks. If so am I going to hear flack about the KW's and Pete I post under {Other Trucks}?

Nothing east of the Rockies? But MACK is east of the Rockies

                    That's true but they did build some west of the Rockies for a while. And I think that batch of cookies were the better ones. lol

Had a steel delivery earlier this week and the driver did nothing but bitch about what a piece of crap his new Kenworth was. He said the truck was bought low bid and it spends more time in the shop then on the road. He told me what engine was in the truck. I wasn't paying attention but I did gather from the conversation the engine was a real turd.  Old or new, if it isn't a Mack I'm not interested.

                   I think the title of this forum is Other Trucks.  But I agree there are things everyone does not care for, for me it's anything east of the Rockies.

The rig above was purchased as a glider kit new in 1966.

Beautiful  dump

Every morning!

He is moving along. I haven't even gone by the body shop my 75 is in since I dropped the cab and fenders there a ways back. I suppose he will give me a call when it's done.

I see two problems. The front mount on a B73 was a trunion mount meaning it was a rap around the center trunion that some old cummins had around the crank on the front cover. I have seen these mounts up later on 855 engines but have never seen one on a big cam. The best thing is use the front mount from a big cam and build your cross member that it sets on. The other thing is the flywheel and clutch will be a pull type if using the old mack trans.The flywheel from a 220 will not be same as a 855 engine.

Yes Cummins did make big cams with a front trunion mount. I have a 400 BC II CPL 449 setting in a Freightliner frame that has the front trunion mount. I know this is a old thread but-Cummins did make them.

For some reason I can't post any photos on my B75 rebuild thread, will not show attachment bar.

                                  The R model steering box is a HFB64055 from a R686ST mid 80's.

                              Oh yeah Superliners were available with the dozen there was one years ago that roamed the West Coast with twin turbos, engine was built by a boat yard in Long Beach Ca.

                              That puppy flew. There was not a Cat or Cummins around that would run with it.

                                              Good to see you here. Members- 12V71 is a bonafide Detroit mechanic and pretty damn smart on Cat/Cummins also. Enjoy the Forum RZ.

                                      Yeah Big Mack Forums are pretty good. The photos are some of the best online that's for sure. There are a bunch of good folks on here that have some great humor.

I recall UPS running Diamond T 931s into the 1970s. But it was the later Diamond Reo Royale that really impressed me. The engineering was ahead of its time.

                            You mean one of these Royale's

                                       Well I'll be it's RZ, about time you made it here.

A really good book to read {A Nation In Torment} it's about the great depression. Written by Edward Robb Eliss full of unknow history and facts. Lots of pages, it will take a while to read.

I'm an Independent that voted R all his life. Democrats hating Republicans and Republicans hating Democrats is going to get us no where. Until I see both sides settle down I will stay an Independent.

I seen  a truck  very  similar  to  that one along I-90 around  Cle Elum,Wa.on my way  out west in '82. Was always  going  to  stop and look at it,but didn't. Looks  solid.

 

                    It was either this one #2 or #1 Graham Brothers owned two 1960 B75's. They lived in Easton just 10 miles west of Cle Elum.
