  1. I do but, i got enuff to keep me going for a while, a long while. I`ll work on my rusty crusty Macks and mopars lol.

    I still got a 68 Coronet rag top stuck away. I should sell it and add the funds to the money im saving for a Cat Sixty.

    But i dont think ill find another rag to to easy...

    Paul

    Heck no you wont

  2. I dont under stand this "Truck Stories" section. It alwasy says "Registry" , and when I click on it , it just goes to the person home name and info? Am I suppose to be seeing a new entry into the gallery??? THanks, doug

    Well it IS a place to simply tell your trucks story....I have done just that in the past. I guess it just so happens when someone enters a truck into the Mack registry it comes up in this feed...part of the trucks "story"

    I suppose. To really view the members truck, go to "Mack Registry" listed at the top. That is what you are supposed to be seeing, Im not sure why it simply takes you to their profile either....

  3. I like the parts truck better!

    HA yea I was thinking he should list that on its own....It may just stand head and shoulders above the wrecker in buyer interest.....Looks like one tough lookin old winch truck. I'd like to see more of it. Thats been listed for a while I think he's having trouble selling them, probably should separate.

  4. The B65 was the predecessor to the B67.They had a shorter hood (but not as short as a B67)and the concave cab.They made 1623 from 1955 to 1958.Not exactly super rare,but way less plentiful than the B67.Here is one of my B65's.post-61-0-56233800-1332381361_thumb.jpg

    Good info. Mike I was wondering about the details on that baby myself. Thats interesting....never knew they had a hood sized right in between B61-B67 lengths. Its got the same kind of hard slope as a B67 yet its long enough that they could fit two stainless trim pieces fore and aft of the bulldog like a B61, whereas on my B67 they only have one under the dog.

  5. I posted those specifically for you Vinny! Im not sure how far you are from binghamton but I saw "U model" and "New York" and thought...."its meant to be"! I knew for sure you'd pick that out. I know you look twice or three times at any word, sentence, or phrase with "U" in it. :tease:

  6. $3500.00 EACH????? maybe for all,of course maybe the rare "desial" motors are jacking up the price?..........................Mark

    Yea its alittle "optimistic"....but never know til ya look into it. Might be able to make a deal. Says theres three I only see two....

  7. Like my dad said, if only i new then what those cars would bring today.

    But you cant keep them all.

    Both of those would be great cars to have today.

    If i live long enuff i would like to get my grubby paws on a 71 cuda.

    That makes two of us....Shaker, Hemi, convertible, triple black w/billboards, 4 speed, Dana60......you know nuthin special... just a tinker toy hehe ^_^

  8. Very nice, both of them. It has been years since I've seen the Ramcharger like that. There was one in the St. Louis area I remember but I only seen it a couple of times. I had repaired a few of them when popular but they were all full doors with a very heavy fiberglass top.

    The only "E" body Chrysler I owned was a 70 "AAR" Barracuda. It was all original and I put a rt. 1/4, original Chrysler hood, (warped) and straightened the rt. door. I did grind the valves but that was about it and sold the car. If I still had balls I'd certainly be kicking them myself right now. The other Mopar I wish I'd kept in hindsight was a 70 Road Runner "Superbird". This car has a 440 "Super Commando" and four speed, (A833) but for some reason was not built with a Dana rear axle. It had the 8.75 Chrysler rear with a 3.91 gear. loved the car due to the tuxedo interior with the bench seat. Nice car but a real tank to negotiate traffic with given the nose hangover.

    Yea thats regrettable..... a '70 AAR 'Cuda AND a '70 Superbird. Holy sh*t!

  9. You'd be right about rough-riding. Between sitting ahead/ over the steer axle and a short wheelbase, no room for an air-ride seat, and airbags nowhere on the truck it could slap pretty hard going over the bumps and potholes.

    USPS has a fair number, at least around here, operating as tractors, mostly single-drive tractors, but a number of tandems, as well.

    Troy.

    Around here Ive never seen these used for anything other than garbage trucks. In Philly and New York city they use these as a garbage truck/ snowplow in the winter.

  10. I am blessed to have the all the room I would ever need to store trucks, or whatever else my heart desires without complaints from neighbors. It is always sad to see remnants you are familiar with from another time but they have earned their rest in the retirement years. I have nothing against robbing, (no pun) a chassis of it's parts to keep another going but I will not junk anything Mack.

    Rob

    This is my dilemma. I want to bring these home.....just for the satisfaction of knowing I DECIDE the fate of my fathers faithful old iron and it doesn't just get scrapped. But then I think "well am I biting off too much?" I dont have as much room as I'd like..... But I dont think I'll be content until I do bring these home one day.
