Classic B model about 1966


Recommended Posts

I can barely make out "McClure and Nestor???" on the excavator. Nothing came up on a Google search. The excavator is definitely an old timer. Warner-Swasey Hopto.

There is name on the front of the dump trailer, but I just can't make it out.

When I clicked on the picture to enlarge it took me to a photo bucket string of about 50 or 60 Mack (mostly Bs) pictures. Really cool.

That's my B photo collection of reference for my mixer restore.

Thanks for sharing. You put together a lot of nice vintage B shots, but the AC album was amazing. I am always impressed with those logs on the back (4-5 FT! In diam) as well as some of the other cargo - cranes, railroad cars, etc. that's with a 4 or six cyl gas motor and a three or four speed! Thanks again.

More than welcome, glad you enjoyed them.

The AC Christe album is part of the reference for the clone I'm building thanks to Gary Mahan for the dimensions and blueprints Paul

Jimmy Hoffa standing in front of a B42T to be exact

Hoffa, Spindel and Partin are the names on the back of the photo. Should be around 1956 or so
