A Few B Model Questions.
in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Posted
I recently picked up a '63 B-68 single axle, and have a couple of questions I thought you guys might be able to answer. Here goes:
a). it has the original gas engine in it...what size is the engine ?
. it has a 5 speed with a high/low (10 total gears). Do I have to 2x clutch it ? What is the proper way to shift through the gears (while not hauling anything) ? I saw a guy on youtube driving a B model, and at times he had one arm through the steering wheel and one hand on each shif knob.
c). are there any manuals available for the B models ? (ie. fluid capacities, etc.).
d). I live in Pennsylvania. I am going to try and get antique tags on the truck. Do I need a CDL to drive it ? (Air brakes, single axle, not hauling a load, fifth wheel removed, and hopefully antique tags).
I thank everybody ahead of time for their help !
