The Southeastern PA Chapter of ATCA is coming to my house March 31 to see the trucks my father and I have dragged home, We have a bunch of Macks, but also some Brand Xers. None that start with a P, but won't rule it out for the future. If anyone on here is interested you are welcome. I live just outside of Pottstown PA. My address is 1466 Manatawny Dr, Boyertown, PA, 19512. It is easy to get to. Go into Pottstown on 663/King St from PA Rt 100. Go to the next stop light at Manatawny St and turn left. My house is three miles out on the left. You can't miss the trucks. You can come any time after 1pm.

Hope to see some of you there.

Cut up!? [GASP]!!.....

I can't save them all. I am going to cut up a B42s, a B85f chassis and a B61s frame. I would like to keep them, but the township has tagged them and i don't have anywhere to go with them. There isn't much good left on them.

Mike

We have to 10 gas job B's and they all have square steel step tanks. I would check the date on the tag and see if matches the year of manufacture of the truck.

Mike

I have a couple B model frames I am going to cut up. I can save you one. I might even have one one the shelf.

Mike

We have a B66 with a concave cab and one with a standard cab. It is just an option. I was using that as an example like single axle versus tandem axle. They don't have anything to do with the model. You could have gotten various models with various options. The model implies certain things like engine and hood length, but not number of axles or cab style. You could.put sleeper cab in with the cab options. They were not kept track of either. Certainly there are many people.on here who know a lot more about this than I do. If i had more.time I would go to the Mack museum and figure some.of these things out. It would be a fun rainy day project.

Mike

While Mack kept track of how many of each model was made they did not keep track of thing like number of axles and cab type. The only way to figure out how many single axle.B75's were made would be to go to the Mack museum and look at the built sheet or serial number for.each one. At least with axle number you could look at the serial number list and everyone with just a T suffix is a single axle(also lt). If you want to know how many B67's were built with a concave cab you have to look at every B67 build sheet.

Very neat truck. I would love to have it. Value is a.little tough, but I would guess in the 5000-8000 range if it runs well. Maybe a little more.if someone really wanted it.

Who cares what ATHS like or wants or does or going to or ant going to do so suck it up and take up for a slim ball that is going to destoy our country.I think that is smaller dog than some guys that i know.

I have no idea what you just said.

Rob, I am a member of ATHS. I do realize that the sitting president will be the object of ridicule. I use this site as an excape from the troubles of the world. Macks, really any trucks, make me happy. Politics do not. And I had oatmeal for breakfast.

Mike

It's crap. Don't download it. The problem with political and questionble material is when it is fresh it ends up at the top of the page. It doens't matter that it is the "odds and ends" section. Often it is easy to tell if it is something that I will not appreciate, but when is says "dog" I think Mack Bulldog. I look at this site because I like trucks not because I want to know what everyones' political views or fetishes. Not everyone on here is a Republican, but maybe that is the way you want it. I made one anti-Bush remark and I got marks against me. This is why ATHS does not allow political posts.

Mike

Its in Souderton, Pa off of Rt 309. Im told.it belongs to a storage trailer company. Im going to try to find it.in a few weeks when i get.the time.

Mike

I have a Hahn fire truck with a 671 and a 5 speed and a Hamerly fire truck with an 8V71 and an allison automatic. I like the sound of the 671 much better and it is much more fun to drive because of the 5 speed.

Mike

Welcome to the forum. Your B60 looks like a great project. I have a parts truck that might work for you. Where are you located? I'm southeastern PA near Reading. Never heard of Delmont. If you are close you could come and look at the truck. I also have some front end parts that could be bought by the piece(radiator shell, fender filler panels...).

I'm told they are planning on selling the Wellington F model that was donate to ATHS. I had been stored and maintained by a club in New England, but they had no say in the disposition of it. They said if it was going to be sold they atleast wanted the money they put in to maintaining it and they would donate the money to another charity. ATHS said they'd give a certain amount, take it or leave it. They left it and disbanded their chapter. We'll see if the truck gets sold in May. It will be very disappointing if it does.

Mike

I'd sell you one of my parts trucks with a duplex in it. Im near Pottstown Pa. I will need to know soon before they are inaccessible.

Look at the Diamond T rescue truck. There is a Mack Jr, a truck with an L model cab and a B model hood all in that first picture.

I'm glad you're keeping it too. Hopefully you can get it inside now. That truck deserves special treatment.

Mike

Great looking trailer and truck. I guess you won't tell us the reserve. I can buy 48' storage trailers for $1000, but they are not SS. What is the fire truck in the background?

Mike

That is a neat truck. It would be great to save it. You might even find a collector to buy the drilling rig. You can buy replacement headlights new. The hood would be hard to come buy. Hopefully that could be fixed. As superdog said, the fenders are made real steel and the dents can be knocked out. Good luck.

A year or so ago someone posted on here about wanting parts for this truck. I exchanged a few PM's with him. He sent a link to the Evil and Robbie Kinevel web site which had pictures of the truck in its heyday. Signed his emails RK which I assume is Robbie Kinevel. I could have been fooled. He said he got a cab from Dennis Meehan so didn't need anything of mine. Someone on here suggested he contact American Trucker which he must have done because of the show which aired last year. The show was a farce, how they went looking for it, but I guess that is television.

Mike

I'll take them if you can bring them to Macungie.

I thought those windows were not correct for the sleeper, but I found this picture on the ATHS site. It is a neat sleeper. Wish I had a use for it.

Mike

There are several pictures of set-back axle F models on the ATHS site under Mack Monday. They are in Europe. I never saw on in person.

Mike

If you can come in June you can come to the atca truck show.in Macungie, Pa. It usually has 500 or more trucks and the most prominent make is Mack. You can tour the Mack factory and go to the Mack Museum. There are some local collections too. Otherwise come.for.Mack Day the first weekend in October. It is in Lititz, Pa. You can still go to the Mack Museum and the Mack factory. You are welcome to come see my trucks. We have a couple dozen Macks. We are 30 minutes south of Macungie Pa.

Mike

You can search it under the Mahan Collection. Its in Basking Ridge Nj. He was at John Harness' yesterday. I don'tknow how.he.is.for drop is, but his collection is amazing.

Mike

Boyertown Pa. More southeastern Pa.

Mike

That style is on E and A models and some or maybe all L models. They do pop into the end of the hub. Nice find.
