a very nice truck. here back in the netherlands there is this truckingcompany called Haukes Transport who also had 6 Mack B8136SX (6 of the only 60 made by mack). two of them survived and are now in the hands of collectors.
I think the B81 in all it's ways is one of the most beautiful and thoughest Mack trucks of the late 50's and early 60's.

Pieter,
Thanks for uploading these great pictures of Macks in Holland after WW II. Did any of these trucks survive and get restored besides the tow truck? The N 61 are very rare and do not see many left here is the US. Also the B model with custom cabs are unique, the look similar to the B model with the L model cab built here by Mack as a special order for those that needed a bigger cab.
Thanks gain for the great historical pictures!

Yes there are more macks from Haukes who survived and get restored. One of them is a Mack B8136SX Dumptruck with fleetnr 71 with lisenceplate UB-75-25. This truck is now owned by the dutch mack dealer Monne in Ijsselsteijn near Utrecht in the centre of holland. He converted the mack from a dumper in to a tractorunit by removing the dumpbody and replaced it with a fifth wheel.
