I brought a 1956 Ford F600 from the same town,was really surprise with how well the cab held up in that cold weather it had hardly any rust.Looks like the Mack has held up well also.

Until recently Montana hardly ever used liquid rust to keep the winter roads clear and I think that has a lot to do with the relatively rust free rigs here.

I take it that they didn't come in that long of a wheel base from the factory?

Nope, not saying that at all. Most trucks out west had long wheelbase as shown in the picture. Being on the east coast, I have just seen a lot more single axle B tractors or short tandems.

Back in the day, the length/weight laws were quite different between the east and west coast.

245" wheelbase was available from the factory.

On a custom basis, longer may have come from the factory? Certainly some folks made oil field gin pole trucks with even longer wheelbase in private shops.
