Nice to see someone take pride in their equipment without applying so much chrome it makes you want to puke.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Lmackattack Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 My dads r model had that paint job. It was painted a dark brown metallic with tan and dark redish Orange stripes.real 70s looking. The stripes had gold pin stripes around the edge. Not sure if that was factory or not but she looked good. Wish I knew where it went..

Freightrain Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Wasn't there one on Ebay or truck trader just recently that had that exact paint job?? The one we were picking the grille apart on? Or is my memory getting worse then I thought? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leversole Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Caught up with the B AND had my camera! I saw here parked last week with a load of grain on...she was all squatted down, talked to the driver, said the owner was second owner and had it a long time, said it always gets the job done!

Mike Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I like the look of the red hubs, always did. Just wondered if black was factory since the frame and bumper is black like mine? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I like the look of the red hubs, always did. Just wondered if black was factory since the frame and bumper is black like mine? mikeAs I understand the frame and undercarriage of trucks built through the 1959 model year were the same color as the cab, unless ordered differently. The 1960 model year started with all black frame and running gear unless ordered differently.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mike Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Good to know this stuff. I'm trying to keep it as is but, it's tempting to make a few changes.Thanks Robmike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
