Here are photos of the battery box and cover and the B-model bumper.

Here is a photo of the one he makes for the R-model in stainless, he also makes complete stainless and painted bumpers for B-models. PM mactrucknut on this forum.

You must have to be a Kodak member to view this, it wouldn't open for me.

Is this better? In freight each driver brings their own.

This purchase should put the total number of Pinnicles since 2008 to almost 800 units, all single axle with the MP7 engine and 10 speed Roadrangers.

Matt, It was January/February 2003. John K

When I was a kid, I rode in one of Red Star Express's G-models from the terminal in Glenmont NY to the Exit 23 compound and back, one fellow drove it over, and my Brother drove it back, I sat on the doghouse. I remember it was brand new and it may have been experimental because it was the only one I ever saw. I wish I had a camera back then. This is also a great place to insert a Doug Fetterly photo of one.

Here's one from the gallery

Got a fresh batch of Doug Fetterly photos in to pass around to the folks, I think Doug said this was in 1985.

RC, This is said to be factory power steering. Happy New Year Everybody! John K

Two more photos, hope they help. I can relay the question, but unfortunately, these two guys "in the know" would rather break a 10.00X20 tire than to be on a computer... The setup works just fine, pulling a 16,000 lb. camper for years. (click to enlarge)

This is the setup on my friends B-75, even though he and another person in the know, say that the two and three filter system will fit. They also say it will be tight. This is the "duplex" canister and the plate on the block is one of the two pictures from the book. The bigger problem is the 676's fan is higher and doesn't fit in the origional 711 fan shroud on the B-75. My friend put the water pump from the 711 on the 676 to make it fit.

Was surprised when I saw that this old wrecker is a Mack, unfamiliar with this model, but the grill looks the same as that EH's A peak inside the old B-61

Looks like those heavy CHEP pallets busted right out of the trailer roof.

Another shot of it...

Here is an interior shot. These photos are from the C. Grier Beam Truck Museum in Cherryville NC. Mr. Beam was the founder of Carolina Freight Carriers.

It appears to be the same as this one, unfortunately I didn't focus on the model, I was too busy drooling over the B-67 and the H-67 there. (Click on it to make it large)

Buy a larger one, or at least see what the pictures look like on the one you are going to buy. The photos look distorted on the smaller ones. The 1G memory sticks are cheap now and can hold hundreds of photos.

In the late forty's and early fifties, my Father owned several Brockways with Continental gas engines, He was talked into buying a Reo Comet gas job and never liked it, removing the Reo engine, He replaced it with a Continental. Still unhappy with the Reo, which he had lemons painted on the hood, he sold out and went to work for somebody else.

Back in the day, my Father would haul a load of cement every now and then on a saturday for Schwerman Trucking. He would say of the B-models, that they were the only Macks that he ever saw, that had Roadrangers in them.

Went to a construction equipment auction locally, mainly to see who once belonged to these '09 KW's, thinking they were local, they were not, they came from an outfit in Kentucky which I could faintly see on the doors (maybe somebody knows of them). There were 10 of them, mated with tri-axle dump trailers, Mac's and Benson's (sold separately), each with 550 Cummins, 18 speeds, all with 50,000 to 60,000 miles on them, all top of the line. The first one went for $83,000, and the rest were $77,500 down to $76,000. They were said to be $144,000 new. There were also 4 2006 Granites tri-axles (325,000 miles average) with Mack 427's and steel dump bodies that went for around $47,000 each.

A couple more for your viewing pleasure.

Recently attended the Carolina Freight Employees Reunion in Cherryville NC and got some photos of the many Macks at the museum, here are just two, a B-67 and H-67. C. Grier Beam was the founder of Carolina Freight.

HK, I hate to get too far off topic, but could this be one of the Brockways that you speak of? I understand this was one of several Cat powered Brockways (origional color) that pulled dump trailers up and down route 22 back in the day.

Here is the steel replacement, the plastic one can only be straightened so many times.
