1962 B-81 Mack dump truck

Be interesting to see the look on a loader operators face if you pulled this in to the gravel pit and said fill it and with 58,000 rears I bet you could put a nice mound on it.  [emoji4] 

There is a B-81 dump still working daily up & down 222 in PA, happy lady driver, too.

What is your address?  They probably would deliver it.

I'm afraid that one's going to be a bit out of my price range. Plus, I don't have inside storage for it, and it looks like it deserves that.  I'm hoping to eventually run across a relatively inexpensive single-axle B61 dump that's in good enough shape to drive, but not so good that I'll feel horribly guilty about it sitting in the driveway.....

How good was air assisted steering? I have never driven a truck that had that feature.  I have heard some drivers say that it has a funky feel about it.

just don't have your thumbs inside the wheel

I drove an f cabover 237 5speed and I hated it. I also got stuck driving an old freightshaker that had air steering what a real thrill getting in off road job sites. There was a gravel pit or something to do with that work that was over by bud lake that had autocars with the biggest rears I ever saw had to be at least 58's. Underdog your not far from over there do you know where I am talking about?

TJC I was working in Netcong  at great northern trucking in the mid 70's and the boss sent me over there for some reason or other. I remember the truck and it looked like if the dirt road had a crown in it the rear would rub on the ground I remember the driver said they didn't have any rear problems.
