h67st Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 That's a truck I would like to save. Somebody bring it east to Ohio and I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Nice one worth working with for certain. Too bad it is so far away otherwise I'd be working on the price for acquisition and my wife would be working on me with a sledgehammer to the toes..... 2 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Only the very early "L" cabs had two hinge doors. They liked to rip the sheet metal so the third hinge was added to the cab design. 3 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Truck Shop Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Actually I could own it and use my wheel lift to go it. But I don't know what I could do with it along with all the other stuff I find. My body is running out of fuel.

75T Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 It had a proud owner, bus lights, chrome mirror brackets, bigger air cleaner, with more chrome. Sure would like a interior pic. Almost looks like a B-77 emblem, my phone won't enlarge much. There's a lot to start with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 By the yellow color, it resembles a Kirkland Ranch truck? He was a member of ATHS and was on the early videos with Lindsay Crawford. He had a lot of water trucks in his video, many were ex military. Seems I recall he passed away in recent years? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

h67st Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 10k is pretty high, but those L cab trucks are much in demand. If it doesn't have much rust, he may be able to get that for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rob Posted April 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2018 Not that I was asked but; If the truck could be driven to the new owner's place I think it's about 40% overpriced for what it is. There is nothing indicating the owner is selling the truck so most likely some type of broker is involved. That said, I do think it should sell for about $5000.00 - $6000.00 tops if running. However, to get that truck back east is going to push probably 4K citing fuel, permits, wages, etc. if needing hauled. That is just where the $$$ and expense starts. Going to be really expensive in both time and funding to get it to what a starry eyed prospective owner sees as a finished project. Resale won't be there too well either so a labor of love in the end which there is nothing wrong with. It tends to bring us all together for some common interest. 4 Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Joe Ditchkus Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I agree with Rob about what it is worth maybe a little less..The ride home is a major expense from California to the East Coast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's all the more reason it should stay on the west coast, besides most of the old macks are hoarded on the east coast. You have to leave a few out west so we don't have the expense going to the east coast to see them. Truck Shop 2 1 Quote One ping only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck Shop Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Except I see several more ads for other trucks by the same person and in the back ground of a pic for 80 KW is guess what? Another B-73 or B-75 or B-77 setting painted white. Truck Shop Edited April 22, 2018 by Truck Shop 1 Quote One ping only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
