My L model had two of these electric fuel  pumps on it.   I replaced them with one new pump and it works fine.  My gas tank is on top of my pump.  Mike 

That is really neat.   Your daughter has very good taste.  Mike 

This is the fuel pump that I have on my B85F, 85LS and 405A.  I left the mechanical pump in place and added this in the line before it.  It works great.  Mike.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys. We sure had a good one here and a lot to be thankful for.  Michael 

If you have not already, you could also reach out to Erv Bickford’s restoration shop in Maine.  Erv had every model of early B and probably a hundred unrestored early B’s sitting around at the time of his death. Most were sold to the late Daryl Gushee, but there were probably 20 or more at his shop when I was there a few years ago.  They would probably have the answer and maybe the parts.  Mike. 

That’s a great story.  The truck was 55 years old now. A similar age truck now would be a 1964.  It would have a lot more amenities.  Mike

pretty sure that green B use to be in the old Mack museum when it was outside Macungie park where the vet clinic is now

The green B61 is on loan to AOW from the Mack Museum as are several most of the other Mack’s there. Mike.

So it's got 9 good tires on it?

No.  It needs one left front tire, one right front tire, one outside front right tire on the tandems, one ...   it does only need one headlight bulb.

Yes, but what they have and what the think it’s worth is usually the issue. These trucks will melt into the ground and nobody will end up with anything

Dennis Yaworski tracked me down and told me he had a Smith truck in his yard. An old Brockway.  He said I could have it is I came for it.  Granted it has partially melted into the ground, but the price is right.  Mike. 

That is a neat truck. A have sent a couple waterpumps to Authur Gould rebuilder.  They are worth a call.  Mike

Do you have any pictures of this truck? I have heard of one by a beer distributor??

This is the only picture I have.  It was still there last month.  I talked to the owner but don’t remember what he said. 

I was there six years ago. There were a bunch of trucks inside yet, but I know some of that has moved on.   Several of the trucks trucks pictures were not there.   That AB firetruck, the BX, the Green AC and i believe the Rusty F Model all were not there. I did not think Dennis was still acquiring trucks.   Thanks for the pictures.  Mike. 

Thanks for the info.  That color looks good.  I’ll see if I can find it.  Mike. 

Do you have a name for it? 

I'm having an EN 540 rebuilt for my father's B66.  Does anybody know the paint color or code for that? 

Thanks.  Mike

You are crazy Vlad.  But it worked out and you got a neat toy.  Have fun with it.  Mike. 

My father drove a crackerbox when I was a kid and hated it.  I’ve always wanted one though.  I wish this one was closer.  

Yes.  That is Steve Skurnowicz’s Truck. He bought it from, or from the estate of, Robert West.  Steve is the VP of ATCA.  He also is the editor of Double Clutch.

I thought VALS327 above was Don Holden.  Is it not?  Mike.  

Here is the link to request information from the Mack Museum.  Please remember to send them a donation.  It is a nonprofit and not a division of Mack Trucks. Mike.

Great work Sarkis.  It looks awesome.  I was hoping for a video though.  Mike. 

They used a lot of NOS parts on the restoration of this truck.  They were not wasted.  They did a fantastic job. Mike 

Sounds like a truck for MackDaddy.  He’s on the right side of the world.  

Very neat truck. I have a ‘61 C80 with a 348 and air brakes so a much different truck, but with independent front suspension.  Hopefully you never need king pins because we could only find one set and it was $1000.  Hopefully my old ones hold up.  I used mine today hauling dirt around the farm.  Mike
