A-LOTTA SMACK.pdfGood Morning to all, My name is Lonnie Renz, but from here on out I will go by L Diddy. I am New to the Old Mack Forum. However,I have been viewing the correspondence through you members for quite some time. Your correspondence has helped broaden my love for Old Macks. My father is a recent retired long hauler. And along with my Grandfather, have instilled in me a love and respect for things built tough and meant to last. I had been looking for a Mack model B for about 7 months. and was fortunate to find one about 6 weeks ago. I was also extremely fortunate when I purchased my 1958 B-613LT Dump. Which had an in-frame 6 years ago. and runs great. It also came with an additional ENDLT-673 with a jake. and an additional TRTL-72 Duplex transmission. Being so lucky I probably used it all up and can forget about purchasing any more lottery tickets. NOT! I have so much I want to do in restoring this MACK into a thundering road warrior. My biggest undertaking with this restoration is that I plan on converting it into a crew cab with a goose neck hitch, dump flat bed. For hauling my 40' Brawley 5 horse trailer (coming in at 13,366 lbs.empty). My wife and I along with our 3 children enjoy taking the horses all over riding in the mountains or at the beach and competing in rodeo's. If any of you have undertaken a similar approach or know of someone that has? I would greatly appreciate starting a conversation. Especially the conversion from a single cab to a crew cab. Thank you for your time, L Diddy
