WANT TO BUY Wanted 1959 Mack single axle needing restored

[Ksmith203]

Looking for a 1959 Mack which needs restored. I live in Massillon Ohio. My father committed suicide a few years ago. Before he took his life he was driving a 1959 Mack loaned to him by a friend to Chicago and back. The township put a nuisance order on the old man and seized all of the old trucks he had before I located him so now I am looking to restore one of these old trucks as a tribute to my father.

Thanks to all for any help you can provide. I have restored several 1951 Ford F6 trucks and now look forward to this challenge.

I posted pictures of the Ford when I bought it and after I finished it.

Very sorry to hear about your father. 1959 Mack what? B model, I assume?

[Ksmith203]

Yes model B.

Thank you still miss him every day. Alcohol consumed him.

Welcome to BMT. I too am sorry to hear about your dad. Nice restoration on the Ford. Stay tuned to BMT and something will come up for sale. Good luck!

P.S. My OH residence is in Jackson Township not too far from the Rockne's on Portage and Frank.

I know exactly where that is. I used to live on Lutz which is the next street west of Arlington.

There is a guy in my area, Ma. I believe Arron trading in Salisbury Ma and when I was there early in the fall he was looking to sell a B model I believe a six wheeler, was in good shape.

Sorry about your pop but i think you are doing the right thing to honor him. Great looking ford wrecker! What body is on the back?

[Ksmith203]

If you could get me his number that would be great. I bought the wrecker body in MA. I have no problem coming there to get one. My father could do just about anything. The last thing we did together was paint the wrecker. I want to make this truck special. It really does not have to be a single axle. Thanks to all the thoughts. I can not wait to start on a truck. I have a friend who will do a mural on the back of my father. My number is (330)353-0605 if you would rather pass it on to the person near you. My name is Kevin
