  1. When I was 14 I went with my dad to pickup a 1966 Mustang for my uncle. It was up on a cattle farm. When we got there I looked around at all of the usual stuff on a farm tractors, dump trucks , speader trucks and then I saw it. I was pretty sure it was an old B-61 Mack. It was a a green B-61 Mack with tandem rearends, 10 speed tranny, and a turbo diesel engine. It is a rough truck which means it needs front fenders definately because the were trying to start it and they were somehow trying to jump it off with a tractor and somehow on 10th gear it reved up and pushed the big tractor backwards through the field. I asked my uncle about it and he said it wasn't his. I was told that it belonged to a guy that they worked with. My uncle asked him about the truck. I was told to make an offer. I offered $300. I didn't here anything for probaly 45 days so I figured that he didn't accept his offer. One evening I was sitting at home and my uncle told me that he had accepted my offer. I came up with the money and bought it. I bought it after I just go out of 8th grade and I was in 9th grade before I got it moved. It was $175 to get it moved 12 miles. Ain't that high. Well that is the story of my old B-61 Mack. :SMOKIE-RT:
