Long Nose B ?

[41chevy]

One of our members had this in a post from a recent show, Never saw a B with this type of nose. Is it factory and anybody know what powers it? Or is it a set back axle? Also got th new drive chains for my AC today.......now just need 1 adjuster and 1 drive sprocket.

Looks like maybe a B-71.

Yup.

Longer hood to make room for a Cummins, with steer axle in the same location as a B61, rather than set forward like a B75.

In the mid 60s i remenber two of those coming in and one had a engine repower with a 6 71 DD in it . The other had a cat repower way before i remenber trucks coming from the factory with a cat engine in it. It was a equipment cat engine.The best i remenber the only thing different from a B 61 body was the rad and cowl was exstend forward.

Kinda the same but different I'm doing with my white B61. I've "split" the grille shell and going to weld in an extension of five inches to bury a CAC, and a/c condensor behind non functioning, cable operated shutters. The engine is an E6-350.

Cool I like that ideal but i looked into that with mine years ago and ended up installing the Cac on the front out side . The fan is so short on a B61 that even when you do get the speed up on it it is so loud whith noise. I used a 6 blade fan on a swister clutch and it was even more louder.The problem with the narrow rad is the short fan has to be used.

I have that front sheet metal, (hood, shell, headlight panels and frame extensions) I will part with. Send me a PM.

Thanks FW

Mack manufactured some larger pump B models that the 707 engines could not power. The noses were lengthened to accomodate a Hall Scott engine. Scroll down this link to see one. http://www.lastresortfd.org/museum.htm mack458

I don't recall seeing one of those either. Do you know the model number? It appears to be built with the same parts as a B-71.

That's a B-21. Mack only made 9 of them. All 9 were fire trucks. Basically it is a B-75 with the B-71 extended grill

so they could fit the big Hall-Scott under the hood.

Thanks, Josh
