Picked up a Power Wagon yesterday. I only have a half ton pickup and figured this load might be a bit much so opted to use the old Mack instead.

Looks like its had a fair amount of touchup done on it. You can see the over spray on the tires. Still very nice old truck. I would like to see the engine.

Great read! Thanks for posting.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

I'll tease you guys a little! My B was ordered with the 55gal aluminum tanks on both sides.
I believe its more rare to have the 55gal on the driver side. As that side was able to fit the larger if wanted and most probably did. The pass side usually had the smaller as the exhaust would be in the way for the larger.

What a great looking rig. I am not familiar with those models, What would that have for an engine?

So I was watching youtube videos and somehow ended up viewing a few with Detroit diesels. I was reading through some of the posted comments under each video and found one that was rather funny here is what it read:
"An old driver once told me, that the 2 stroke Detroit was written about in the Bible. That one day, there would come a great beast. That would roar like thunder, belch fire and smoke, and crawl across the face of the earth"
I had a good laugh when I read this.

Trailer is looking good!

They are great bikes indeed! I have an 01 Bonneville and an 06 Scrambler. Triumph did a great just with the retro styling most people cannot tell them from the 60's models.

Looks like a nice truck. Welcome to the Mack family.
-
New tires look great!

Looking for one stainless Mack bubble mirror in good condition before I buy new. Thanks

Like you already know, avoid lugging the engine. I think headgasket problems plagued the earlier 711's more than the later models.
-
That turned out great!
-
Is your truck a light weight model? I ask because you mention the bumper in the 2nd pic is aluminum and it does look original. I have only seen tow hooks on the extended style bumpers.

Looks like it could have been much worse.

It's an old Bell telephone truck. There is a mast with an auger that hangs off the front used for putting up telephone poles. The auger runs off a front PTO and then there is a hydraulic powered winch in the rear that controls auger depth.
IV always wanted a PW so it was neat to find this one less then an hour away.
