High Binder Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 According to the Mack museum, the H61 is one of 4 built with a Cummins.The crew is factory built.I looked at the log trailer is a real nice trailer. Yes he builds them and they are really well built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmerrill0516 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 That 4 door has a ENF-707A by the look of it...has a compressor on it too if I'm seeing it right...Sweet! Don't see those at every show. Those are some nice pictures. Thanks for taking the time to share them. Are they being restored by your friend for himself or for customers? Unique stuff there...really cool.Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarnall Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 It was a fire truck. Here is a three door version. They usually had the pump in he middle of the cab. This doesn't have enough room for a pump. Maybe he made it himself. Is he going to put the fire body back on it? What is he doing with the H model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Binder Posted July 19, 2015 Author Share Posted July 19, 2015 I think he's undecided on what he's going to do with the Crew cab. I think he's going to restore to original the H model. He has a lot of nice trucks and many projects. The only other crew cab I've seen is the green one that comes to Macungie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 the green one that comes to Macungie was an ex firetruck body to. Kevin All built it for Dennis around the same time he built his blue 4 by 4 one. he stuck it on an F350 chassis and just used the mack cab and cut the door frames and turned the doors around. he also cut the floor right out f the B and simply placed it over the Ford one, pretty slick.

John T Conover Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) This is the one I was thinking of.img_0212.jpgFacebook picture. Is this the same truck ? Edited July 21, 2015 by John T Conover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Binder Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 John, Could be it or 1 of the 4 built. According to my buddy, the Mack Museum is tracking his truck. Every time it changes hands, they are aware of it. They really want it in the museum. Mack built four for the same truck line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The original H-61's were cool looking vehicles (cherry pickers). I hear they had steering issues. X211 might stand for experimental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I believe that there were four door B models made for applications such as highway crews. I recall seeing a picture of one on here awhile back.

X211 might stand for experimental.On the facebook post where I got that picture the poster said he thought the X meant the truck was leased to Akers and that Akers owned trucks had truck numbers starting with R. I've seen the X prefix on other Akers trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
