  1. Yes it is still titled as a '57 B-61T.The tag just gets installed on the R driver's door.I actually bought it for parts to use on a '58 B-61LT I was working on.It was too rare to cut up,so I restored this one instead of the B! The parts(at the time) were fairly easy to get and not too expensive in 2001 when I bought it.I hear its a different story today.I don't know how many old Macks end up as yard trucks.We know why,BECAUSE THEY LAST!!!

  2. Mine is an ex-military '41 Fruehauf that was actually built as a pull trailer.Somewhere along the line, somebody removed the dolly/drawbar set-up from the front and installed a king pin,so it could be pulled by a tractor.I was very lucky to find it in such good shape.The steel is really in good shape.Very little rot.Restored it and added 3 ft to the beavertail,if you can believe it? Now that I look at it,all the trailers in this picture are Fruehaufs!

  3. Matt, Truck looks good....will have to wait for next year to see it in person. I am taking a year off from Macungie. Mike Lavery and I are thinking about going to Lititz though. Put a few miles on the BCR already on a cruise of US 30 that took us to Clinton,Iowa (3 hours by truck) and our spring opener, the "Sam Maggio Classic" antique truck show in Rockford. Finished my '41 Fruehauf Lowboy with help from a good friend, Scott Swanson and of course parts support by Dave. Was given a great running 237 so now I have that to think about although the 673 225 horse is still running strong. Hope all is well with you,Kendra,McKenzie and the rest of your families. Talk to you later on down the road, Al Rhino
