HEY ALL-- I'm George, a school bus driver from NYS - wish it were a MACK. I'm interested in pre 1980's trucks including of course the venerable MACK. I collect and build truck models, and also collect die-cast. If I can find an appropriate place to post my model pics, I will. I also photograph and collect photos of old trucks, extremely fond of the MACK B's.

Looking forward to being a part of this forum about a great truck ---

Hi all,

I've been lurking around here for a while now soaking up knowledge and decided I had better introduce myself. A couple months back I got a B75 that my dad bought about 25 years ago and it's been sitting in the barn ever since. took a couple hours but I got it running again and started investigating what it would take to get her back on the road. I had to put a head on the compressor cause the water wasn't drained and the aluminum end cap on the oil cooler had the same problem. replaced a few hoses and finally I was able to take it around the block last weekend. I still have some electrical problems to work out, and put some new rubber on, but she is almost completely back to life. I'm planning on pulling a 2 car gooseneck trailer back and forth from the track, and I think it will be perfect for that. Someone has already changed out the rear to a 5.78 ratio and with the double over triplex it cruises right along.

Anyway, just wanted to say that this is a great site and this truck is turning into a fun project.

now back to work, race season is almost here...
