    Tom, Do to the price of fuel,I didn't get to round up any stray B's this year,just a crusty A54 and a C609.Hopefully '06 will be a better year cause I'm suffering from withdrawal really,really bad. Keep up the good work.

    If you decide thats what you want to try,I've got a gutted '82 R model I'd trade or sell you cheap.The steering box,column,linkage,etc. is all there.I think I even have the p/s resevoir for it.You'd just have to come up with a p/s pump to fit your 220.

    I've never seen one up close or in person,but I've heard of using an R model steering box and steering column.Takes some modifcation,but it works.

    worst part about leaving the starter of the top left is that it makes it a bitch to change if it ever goes bad.

    F models had the same set up,so that should broaden your search options.

    There was an E9 on Ebay recently,don't think it sold.You might look there to see if its still on.

    Their were 2686 ED's built from 38 to 44.They are not Mack Jr's.The Jr. was built by REO under a marketing agreement with Mack.The ED was a true Mack.

    10 years ago or better,I saw an ad for a N model fire truck in a truck trader magazine.It was in FL if I remember right.I never throw anything out,so I'll do some digging and see if I can find it. N models are pretty neat old trucks,I have an old N-61 tractor myself.

    It was Magnadyne,these were flathead 6 gassers.

    keep an eye on Ebay,there's been a set on there off and on from the same seller,don't know if it was the same set that never sold or he had more than one set.the seller's ID is kingofsalvage if you want to search that.

    The very early B73's,B75's,etc. had the sheet metal radiator shell and smaller radiator.They went to the large cast aluminum radiator sometime in '57.

    I remember when Overnite Transportation was selling off all their old MB607T's,some of them were in the '70's.If I remember right,they were rated at 187 hp.

    The ones that had the one piece windshield were the first produced.Wasn't many of them made.

    That didn't quite work like I thought it would,but at least the pics showed up.I also have a '54 B61 with Page&Page,it's pretty much the same set up except it's a single drive axle with pusher axle.

    Here you go,Fred.

    There was a total of 4974 Mack Jr.s built from the 1M half ton to the 31M 3 ton.There were also 2 COE models the 21MT and 31MT and a bus chassis model 91MT.The Jr's were only built 2 years '36 and '37.

    Fred, The older ones were all 6 spoke and had the smaller "pinned " wheel studs,they went to a 5 spoke hub about '64.These also had the larger wheel studs.From then on,the 6 spoke hubs where only used on the 44k and larger rated axles.

    My B-83SX wrecker will do over 100 mph,but it ain't quite stock.It has 4:17's and 11R24.5 rubber.

    There were 68 different models of the B series,not counting firetrucks and school bus chassis.The main differences between the B42 and the B61 was weight rating and the fact the B61 was diesel powered,B42 was gas.

    Fred, Did you happen to look at my G73 while you were here?It has Page&Page with Mack rears.If I get home before dark sometime in the next few weeks,I'll try to get a pic for you.If not,remind me.

    Clariben was the company that made the aftermarket tilt hoods.They made them for standard and long hood B models,LT's and LJ's.also for several assorted offbreed trucks.I've tried to find out if they were still around but so far haven't had any luck.Last ads I saw for their B model hoods was back in the early '80's. The B53 with the factory looking tilt hood was homemade.

    You should see me behind the wheel in one of my concave cab B models,Larry.

    Larry, You need to eat a little more,then you don't have to worry about taking both hands off the wheel to shift.The time I met up with Aaron Tippin,he mentioned the fact that he didn't quite have belly enough to do any fancy 2 handed shifting in his B's. As far as the "expert's" comments you mentioned,maybe it was somebody Trent coached.

    Thats the one,did you buy it Dan,or are you just storing it?That would be a cool truck to own.
