    I can and used to celebrate St. Patrick's day years ago but that was my anniversary date with the ex-wife until I got rid of her. I then found my current angel and 45 years later we still don't recognize March 17.

    I would like to wish everyone here on BigMackTrucks a very happy holiday season expressed in the way that you celebrate because of religion, tradition or ethnic background. Either way the message is the same. I enjoy every post here on BMT even though I personally do not own a Mack myself. I started driving in 1969 on A40, B61-75, R, U and F models and received a plaque from Mack Trucks for 1 million miles in a Mack. All of you here are the best with a vast knowledge of the great Bulldogs and I enjoy reading the forums everyday. So again, Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. She was such a joy to follow her progress on her B model with the family helping all the way. I hope someone or herself reads this and she can respond.

    Does anyone know what happened to Skippy Mack? I followed her posts on her B model but haven't seen her on here for quite awhile. Any contact info would be great.

    At least in today's world it seems like most people will thank a vet unlike back in the 1960s-70s. After my discharge in 1968 it was normal to not display anything that would show your service because of the political atmosphere at that time during the 1960s and 1970s.

    That's the turn signal box. We had them instead of below the steering wheel on the column.

    I do not want to hijack this thread but on the Veteran topic there is nothing more satisfying than the look on a veterans face when you thank them for their service. The recognition for their service is precious for the sacrifice that they gave to our country and for our ability to live free here in USA.

    I would like to find a R400T with the 413 Chrysler engine for sale. That would be my ultimate truck to restore and pull my 5th wheel rv trailer. I found 1 old fire company R400 with the 413 but it was sold before I got there to see it. I'll keep searching.

    I started driving in 1969 for a union company where my father had worked since 1949 and was the shop steward. I got layed off in 1972 during the recession then and worked non-union jobs because no union jobs were available. I moved to Florida in 1986 and landed a union job until the company folded and left Florida in 1988. Again no union jobs so I found another job until I retired in 2011 and hung up the keys. Good while it lasted but never any help from the union.

    Just for the record in the over 70 club I'm 74.

    NJ has the law to fill your gas tanks for you but no self serve. But if you are a semi you self serve your own truck at the truck stops. Double standard going on?

    I don't think so. It looks like it is there to help support the lower piece of the grill. I've never seen that before. Is it a grill from maybe a Western F model or something?

    Chris1953, Being an rver myself I would love to have an R model to pull our 5th wheel. I really like our Ram but an R like yours would be the ultimate way to go. Nice job that you did from start to now. I envy you.

    I have been to the Autocar factory for a tour and this conventional cab would be awesome as a tractor. I hope that their sales/engineering departments come together and start building these as a tractor version instead of refuse/ mixer versions only. What a beast!

    Volvo knows how but choose not to. They killed off their own large Volvo years ago but I don't remember the model name or number but it was a beast. They probably will destroy Mack rather than sell it to any company. Very sad way for the best truck of all time to die a slow death.

    The U models were also designed to allow for pulling those 45' trailers back when the length laws were 55'. I also loved the bumper guide bars on my Macks but with the baby dogs on top. I also have a pair on my Ram 2500 and it still helps to know where the right side of the front of the p/u really is.
  19. navypoppop
    It might have helped drivers see out the left side better but how many U and DM's did you see with right front fender damage? It surely didn't help the passenger side.

    What is up with the idiot that posted all the airline sites? Annoyingly a real PITA that they appear and are left up just to take up space for no Mack reason.

    There is a button in the upper right hand corner to switch to English. Then you can read the article

    Being a full time 5th wheel Rver now I would be so proud to have this B model for my hauler. It is gorgeous!
  23. navypoppop
    Meet and greets are the absolute best! When you can put a face to a name it is really great.
  24. navypoppop
    If you really want to sell this truck you need some pictures and a price wouldn't hurt either

    Mowerman, We're all getting old (73 for me) but you are never stupid. After all we're Mack people!!!
